This game was hard AF as a kid! But brings back so many memories. KZbin is great for nostalgic things like this

[@michaeledwards6890]

for real! i need to show my kids this stuff. it would be like a treasure, looking back it must be 100s of games now. just throws me right back

[@Stinkyremy]

Man I came here to post the same thing, I remember it being brutally difficult. Tbh a lot of those disney games were incredibly difficult

This game is as graphically impressive as it is frustratingly difficult.

[@ricardocantoral7672]

Yes, this game gets very difficult after the first level. The cheap enemy placement is the worst aspect.

[@garfieldlazylasagna1234]

@@ricardocantoral7672I agree. The cheap enemy placement is at its worst in The Lonesome Ghosts and ESPECIALLY in The Prince and The Pauper.

[@IsabellaQuinns]

​@@garfieldlazylasagna1234couldn't agree more! The ghosts were sooo stressful to beat! And I could never pass the last level, it's just too hard 😮‍💨

The sound track is an absolute masterpiece 👌🏽

That's what brought me here!! Searching for this game on a Friday morning because I remembered the music!!

What an impressive game for the Mega drive! Great graphical effects, fantastic animation, good scrolling...

Agreed.

or it was a 32x game

This wasn't a 32X game.

[@joseluki]

No, it was also released in Mega CD.

[@Frenchylikeshikes]

I replayed it this week, after almost 30 years, and the game is still surprisingly fun.

[@PeterDivine]

God, I saw the cover art of this in a game store once before I even knew how to properly read, and for the life of me never thought I'd find out what its gameplay was like (since my family, predictably for early 90s parents, was not keen on impulse buying their elementary school kid a video game, leave alone one he knew nothing about.) Thanks for this, man, I thought that for me this was just going to be a mystery lost to time forever.

[@bluethunder250]

Loved this game! Never made it past the mad scientist though.

[@sp3cialed1]

Just noticed I lost before the last level every time

can't believe you didn't get hit by a single skeleton bone in the mad doctor level.

How nostalgic, this game is very well done, I loved it. He reminds me a lot of Pinocchio, it's almost the same style of play.

[@607]

Wow, this game seems cool! Level design, graphics, music, sfx... al seem quite great!

[@lgugue]

In 21:44 after you turn on the switch you must go back to the place you've been in 21:27 to enter the special stage to meet the Maestro Mickey in the Tornado's concert to complete the game!

[@retrorun]

Finished it these days. Great game back then, and still today!

[@rschmidt9495]

Visually one of the best for Genesis, and the gameplay and music were great as well.

[@SirBopALot]

This is why video games are important pieces of animation. Think about it for a minute or two. With all of these 2D platformer games, there’s always a lot of hard work that goes into making every single sprite and every single frame of animation be as fluid as possible. I can definitely appreciate stuff like that. Man, I wish there were more people in the world who appreciated presentation the way I do. Garfield: Caught in the Act is another great example of a game that’s very well animated, as is The Lion King and Aladdin (Genesis) for example. It’s just so nice to see how well these games look, even today. Art is definitely beautiful, isn’t it?

[@rafacheepa1464]

Game with incredible graphics for the time, Too bad they cancel Mickey mania 2 for sega genesis.

[@terminuscoagule3059]

Still impressive in 2021, the genesis had some of the best graphics of any non 3d console. The graphics were really smooth for it's time NTSC 30fps, playing them on emulators running at 60fps is a crazy smooth experience.

[@dagainz6997]

Shame it wasn't the same for PAL players who had slower versions

[@jacobreed47]

This is such a great game, definitely needs a remaster for the current consoles especially the Switch. Sega CD has the best audio for this game by far.

[@ribeiroc80]

The Mad Doctor Level is way too long, while Moose Hunter’s is too short. But it’s surely a great game after all

[@ChaseMC215]

Who would to think that the same guy who helped design the game would go on to create one of the best vehicular combat games on the PS1?

Also God of War.

[@objectionable6693]

The message at the end kinda makes the whole game feel like an advertisement for whatever the next Mickey Mouse cartoon was after that

[@Countsmegula]

This was so much better than the SNES port, which lost a lot of graphical finesse despite being more powerful hardware. That's blast processing for you right there. Also the soundtrack was like 100x better.

[@Archdeco]

I know with the Aladdin game they had help from actual Disney animators, might be the same for this game.

[@pferreira1983]

Wasn't the same developers but Disney were involved.

[@Mcmadness288]

You do know that blast processing is technically not a thing that exists right? That was marketing jargon.

[@SamaSaku1]

Mega Drive is more powerful than the snes

[@wizzgamer]

Yep it was due to the lack of blast processing that the levels where cut as due to the Snes's slower cpu it couldn't handle them a Super FX chip would have been needed which the publishes weren't willing to pay for.

[@truthiskey8625]

I would admit the genesis is better then snes

[@ternitamas]

aesthetically beautiful but so hard to play, this one frustrated me so much as a kid

[@endarkculi]

As I only had the SNES port of this game growing up, it's interesting to see the differences between versions. A bit dismayed that the two extra Mickeys were not shown, but the first would have led to skipping the Mad Doctor fight, and I've always thought that dodging all those potions and bones was quite a challenge. Overall, this was a good run.

[@dreamEnd]

Aha I remember this one. I don't think I ever beat it though. I was fairly young at the time and the game was too hard for me. Hearing the soundtrack kinda gives me a nostalgic feeling

[@kevonmcneil8346]

41 minutes… I can’t believe that’s how long this game was lol.. I spent that much on that first few levels as a kid 😂

[@browsertab]

I wish there was a Looney Tunes game like this. Revisiting classic Looney Tunes shorts as levels.

[@RobAE]

Takes me back when I used to play this so much, also I think my was kinda broken cause it tend to loop the first level after first clear before continuing as shown...also I never finished it ( I was like 6 if not less when I played this)

[@RobAE]

now that I finished watching it actually it feels like I had a longer game, I have no recollection of Pete...I remember running up the nightmare tower...but I feel like i had more levels :D
