Man, if you try to say the whole name of this game, it's a serious mouthful. So, if I say the name again, it will obviously just be "World of Illusion." But names aside, this is another Genesis game that I've owned forever, generally, and as a lot of Disney games go - or at least, the ones that I've played, personally - it's still a lot of fun. Before we begin, though, let me tell you the story of this game (This is taken from the actual opening of the game after you pick your character and all of that fun stuff, so they will be in italics and quotes!):
"One night, Mickey and Donald were practicing for their big magic act.
One of the magic tricks surprised Donald, and he fell backward, tipping over some scenery.
Behind the scenery was a mysterious magic box with a drawn curtain.
'Oh, Boy! If it works, we can use this in our magic act!' said Donald.
'Uh, I don't know if that's such a good idea...' replied Mickey, noticing a strange glow behind the curtain.
But he was too late. Donald had already stepped inside.
Poof! The curtain fluttered and Donald disappeared!
Mickey stepped inside to inspect the box and...Poof!, he disappeared too.
Booming laughter echoed as Mickey and Donald fell through the darkness, and an evil voice said,
'You are good magicians in your world, but here in my world of magic, you'll have to learn many more tricks to find your way home.
'If you can find and defeat me, I will show you a way out of this magic box.'"
Phew! So there's the literal opening of the game, right there. Part of what I enjoy about this game is that it's not just the same game if you pick Mickey or Donald. There are certain levels that only Donald goes to, and vice versa with Mickey. For example, while both characters can crawl, Donald's behind is too big to get under certain spaces Mickey can get through in his levels. And another cool thing is that this game is also co-op. Yep, you can have Mickey and Donald travelling together in this crazy world, and, for example, Mickey can pull Donald through those tight spaces, or one of them can drop a rope to help the other reach a space that only one of them could make it to. It's honestly really cool, and just the subtle differences between picking Mickey and Donald makes you want to play the game again as the other character to see what levels there could be.
And of course, the music sounds very pleasing, the worlds/levels look beautiful and all of the colors just blend together to look really nice. As I say with, generally, every game, definitely give this one a look at if you'd like to try older games, especially if you have a soft spot for all-things Disney. As always, thanks for reading and I'll see you soon! I also thought of other Genesis games to talk about after making that schedule, such as Batman and Last Battle, so look forward to even more as the week goes on!
Have a nice day!~
