  4. How do I switch my pad to the correct mode?

    Currently supported devices that have this switch are:

    • Logitech F310

    If your gamepad has the switch and is not on this list, you will not be able to use it to play Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse without a pad support file.

Once we have this information, we can usually create a gamepad support file and email it to you.

    To switch the gamepad to DirectInput mode, follow these instructions:

    2. Unplug the gamepad (or wireless receiver, if the gamepad is wireless).

    3. Turn the switch on the pad to “D”.

    5. Restart the Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse application.

    You will now be able to play Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse with the gamepad.

  10. Can I play this game on a case-sensitive file system?

    No. Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse has been tested with the basic formatting option for Mac OS X, which is HFS+. This system is not case-sensitive and identifies files by name without checking capitalization.

    The capitalization of filenames is not consistent throughout the game. While this will not always prevent the game from running on case-sensitive file systems, it may lead to crashes and other unpredictable behaviour.

    If you have to run a case-sensitive setup and you experience problems with Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, please install the game on a standard formatted partition or read/write disk image. In most cases this will allow you to play the game on your machine.

  11. How do I stop the dock, notifications and the desktop cursor from appearing while I'm playing Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse?

    The dock or notifications may occasionally appear while you are playing Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, or the desktop cursor may replace the game cursor. This can disrupt a game.

    You can prevent them from occurring by checking the Hide the Dock (disables notifications) checkbox in the Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse pre-game Options window. To do so, follow these steps:

    1. From the Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse pre-game Options window, select the Advanced tab.

Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse is a 2.5Dplatform game developed by Sega Studios Australia and published by Sega. The game is a remake of the original 1990 Sega Genesis/Sega Mega Drivevideo game of the same name, which was the first title in the Illusion series of Mickey Mouse video games. The game was released on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Microsoft Windows in September 2013,[2] and later for iOS, Windows Phone, Android, and OS X.[1]

Gameplay[edit]

Following the same style of gameplay as the original Mega Drive/Genesis title. Presented in high-definition 3D graphics, the game is largely played as a side-scrolling platformer like its predecessor, although some sections allow Mickey Mouse to move in multiple directions, such as puzzle segments. Mickey's main offensive ability is his bounce attack, which he can use to bounce on enemies and reach higher areas. He can also collect projectiles which he can throw at long distance enemies. Levels are re-envisioned versions of the original game's levels now separated into three acts, featuring new layouts, puzzles and enemies, as well as enhanced boss fights. The castle itself, which was merely a transition in the original game, can now be fully explored, with new areas opened up by collecting numerous gems littered around each level. Throughout the game, players can find playing cards and chilli peppers that can be used to unlock various outfits for Mickey.[3]

Plot[edit]

As in the 1990 original, the game casts players in the role of Mickey Mouse who must fight his way through the Castle of Illusion to rescue Minnie Mouse from an evil witch Mizrabel who wants to steal her beauty.

Obstacles include enchanted forests, rebellious toys and mazes of living books.[4]

Development and release[edit]

The Castle of Illusion remake was teased by Sega in April 2013[5] and was announced later that month.[6] The game was developed by Sega Studios Australia, their last game before the studio was shut down,[7] under the supervision of the original game's director, Emiko Yamamoto.[8][9] The game features a remastered soundtrack arranged by Grant Kirkhope, as well as an option to listen to the original soundtrack composed by Shigenori Kamiya.[10] The game also features full voice acting for Mickey, as well as narration by Richard McGonagle.[3] From September 2016 until March 2017, the game was delisted from the Steam, Xbox Live, and PlayStation Network stores.[11][11][12]

Players who pre-ordered the game on PlayStation Network were able to download the original Genesis game, as well as a theme and custom avatars.[13]
