Back in the day, after a few levels of Sonic, it was Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse on the Master System that really got me into playing platform games. Butt stomping enemies, eating cake, collecting gems, the nightmarish toy level, the mouth-watering cake level... all to save Minnie from the clutches of Mizrabel the witch. Ah, memories!

In a hands-off look at the game, I got to see a biome which combines nautical and astronomical themes, named Astrono. The level sees Mickey jumping past alien starfish-like enemies, avoiding spiky coral, and swimming through pockets of water in shades of electric violet. Other biomes include a botanical area inside a giant peacock, and an area inspired by Rube Goldberg machines.

What's more, up to four players can join together in local co-op , choosing to play as either Mickey, Minnie, Goofy, or Donald. Here, extra moves are provided to offer further assistance, like hugging to regain health, or dropping a rope to help others overcome obstacles. It ensures the game is truly aimed at everyone, from families playing together to solo speedrunners executing tricky one-hit challenge runs.

It's authentic too, not only with its playful orchestrated soundtrack that mimics those classic films, but using the official Disney voice actors for each character. Yet there was still room for the Dlala team to inject their own original creations: the game takes place in the world of Monoth and features new characters like the Hokuns tribe, or Jido the map giver who hands out map expansions on slices of toast. It all ties together to feel consistently Disney, yet fresh and exciting.
