![]() Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse paved the way for Mickey’s subsequent adventures, both solo and alongside Donald Duck, who also had his fair share of adventures on 8- and 16-bit hardware back in the day. Mickey Mouse, Disney’s beloved mascot, received quite a few videogames for the Mega Drive, each one an enjoyable 2D romp capturing the whimsy and aesthetic charm of Mickey’s character and animated adventures. These days, licensed videogames are often frowned upon but, back then, Disney’s movies and characters made for some of the most enjoyable action/adventure platformers on the SEGA Mega Drive and Super Nintendo.

Mizrabel's scheme, in which she abducts a maiden and attempts to steal her youth, is similar to that of Gruntilda.Much like the Evil Queen, Mizrabel desires to be the fairest of them all, as she states in the remake.In the remake, her youthful form also bears resemblance to Maleficent. Mizrabel's appearance is similar to that of the Evil Queen, both in her hag and youthful forms.When Mizrabel is defeated in the remake, she shifts into a second witch form that resembles a recolored version of Witch Hazel.When Mizrabel appears before Mickey in Power of Illusion, she takes on the forms of villains who are never found in the castle.Oddly enough, the place in the Castle of Illusion where the player confronts Mizrabel is the Forbidden Mountain, Maleficent's home.This may either be by her choice or that taking on Maleficent's form may have influenced her. When she faces Mickey in Power of Illusion, Mizrabel quotes Maleficent's lines to Flora, Fauna and Merryweather and near-quotes Maleficent's lines to Prince Phillip.Mizrabel's name is or may be a pun on "miserable".Also, her dark magic allows her to fly, create curses, illusions and summon and control ghosts. She can also assume the appearances of various Disney villains, mostly Maleficent. ![]() Mizrabel's shapeshifting powers are very strong and powerful, being able to turn her into almost anything. In this game, Mizrabel primarily uses the appearance of Maleficent, complete with assuming Maleficent's dragon form for the final battle, though she is seen taking on the forms of various Disney villains before settling on Maleficent's form. Mickey, with the help of Oswald, is able to free the popular characters and defeat Mizrabel once more. She schemes to kidnap several popular characters and absorb their hearts so that she can escape. Mizrabel and the Castle of Illusion are cast into the Wasteland, as she was forgotten as a character. In the remake, it is explained that she had learned that Mickey had a stronger magic: the magic of love. Upon her defeat, Mizrabel redeems herself and helps Mickey and Minnie escape. Though Mizrabel regains her youth and battles the determined mouse, Mickey is able to triumph before Minnie could lose her beauty. They include the Old Oak, Jack in the Box, the Merpeople, (the Mischievous Shadow in the remake), the Treat Dragon, and the Oaf.Įventually Mickey makes it to Mizrabel herself. Mickey ventures into the Castle of Illusion and fights his way through Mizrabel's minions. Mizrabel, jealous of Minnie's beauty, abducts her to restore her youthful form and wilt Minnie into a hideous crone.
