Classic Game Room presents a CGR Undertow review of World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck for the SEGA Genesis developed and published by SEGA.
World-famous magicians Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are preparing for a magic show when suddenly, they find a strange box in the backstage area. Because every video game needs a plot device, the renowned duo open the box and are suddenly transported to a bizarre magic world. Might need a raincheck on that magic show, huh? World of Illusion follows the 1990 release Castle of Illusion, a game widely considered the best Mickey Mouse game in history. And even though that's a large pair of ears to fill, World of Illusion is also a classic in its own right. This beautiful platformer features a surreal art style typical of the Illusion games, as well as the same solid platforming mechanics. Yet this one is also its own game, as it trades the traditional stomping mechanic for a magic cape that transforms enemies into less-threatening things. World of Illusion features single-player play, as well as local multiplayer.
This video review features video gameplay footage of World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck for the SEGA Genesis and audio commentary from Classic Game Room's Derek.

    Things that make World better than Castle: - password feature! (Something that was missing from Castle) - Multiplayer mode with Donald Duck - Donald Duck and Multiplayer exclusive levels - Mickey sprite is very accurate to the cartoon - ease of play

    This is one of my all-time favorite Genesis games! Like, it's in my top 5. My brother and I would rent this constantly (I was Mickey he was Donald). We gravitated toward it's co-op oriented game play. Very few games back then, which would not only change the game play based on how you chose to play it, but awarded gamers who chose to play co-op with a unique experience (Toejam & Earl being another good example). We loved the co-op feel so much, that it took us months to realize that there were 3 unique games hidden within World of Illusion. When we learned that, it elevated this game to new heights of awesomeness! I really wish that the "Illusion" series had continued. Sega really knew how to treat a license with dignity and integrity (as did Capcom). However, I never felt the Capcom Disney games for the SNES were as good as Sega's, or even their NES titles. There's something about the attention to detail in the Sega titles (the sprites, the idle animations, the animation, the game play, the sense of magic and wonder) was, in my opinion, superior to Capcom's 16-Bit efforts. There was something more "Disney" about the Sega Disney games, especially in terms of animation. This game, as all Sega Disney games, is a masterpiece, and worthy of the respect and attention that the Capcom Disney games have enjoyed.

    "There was something more "Disney" about the Sega Disney games, especially in terms of animation." I agree with that. I thought I was the only one to have that feeling.

    the disney games you mentioned are great but I think the best is not really castle of illusion but a tie between mickey mania and epic mickey. snes and genesis had awesome disney games that compete with mario and sonic in terms of quality (the disney 16 bit games had much better animations than mario and sonic). heck just look at aladdin and compare it to mario world.

    Then what about the genesis vs super famicom then. The super famicom had games that had blood (castlevania 4 for example, with nude statues) and hell, you fight god based off the old testament in shin megami tensei 2. Super metroid and f zero showed some of that "blast processing" and there's more games that do. The audio was in stereo unlike the genesis's mono. The super fx chip built in cartridges helped to produce 3d polygons without an extra device like the sega cd. The controller's button layout becomes an early example for future controllers like introducing shoulder buttons and the four button placement with abxy..............but I love both consoles anyways so whatever.

    +Cristian Duran I have a semi love(nostalgia if anything)/hate(more so) relationship with the sega genesis.....biggest gaming regret was getting it over the snes during it's time, although the Genny had a 2 year start since it was released towards the end of 89'. the SNES was mind blowing, the genesis? not so much......At first, i thought the genesis "was kind of cool, but it didn't blow me away like the NES did before hand OR the upcoming SNES.....Sure, it had it's share of gems, but those gems could not compete with the likes of the jaw dropping Super Mario World, ZELDA ALTTP, super Metroid, mega man X, Mario Paint, Mario kart, f-zero, the list goes on and on. Thankfully I played the SNES religiously at my friends house, but it's still not the same as owning one for yourself. Still pisses me off that I didn't trade in my genesis and get an SNES during it's 5 or so year run.....What was I thinking!? :PTime to toss out the genesis!

    Genesis Does What Nintendon't - Chapter 1: Mortal Kombat Genesis does Blood and Gore. Nintendon't. Chapter 2: 16 Bit Graphics Genesis does 16 bit graphics. Nintendon't. * (*referring to the original NES) Chapter 3: Speed Genesis does blast processing. Nintendon't. Chapter 4: Audio Genesis does headphone jack. Nintendon't. Chapter 5: Game Genie Genesis does Game Genie. Nintendon't. * (*they sued the makers of Game Genie) Chapter 6: Censorship Genesis does mature rated games that are controversial. Nintendon't refuses to license a game like Night Trap on their console. They even censored the original Mortal Kombat. Chapter 7: Final Verdict Genesis wins. Nintendon't.
