The Magical Quest starring Mickey Mouse is one of the many games that Capcom made that had Disney characters during the "Nintendo vs. Sega" era. In this game, you play as Mickey as he tries to stop Pete and his evil presence.

As you progress through the game, you get access to new abilities that allow Mickey to do different things like when Mickey gets the magician's outfit, he can attack enemies with magic. The firefighter's outfit lets him spray water using a fire hose to do various things like moving blocks. The mountaineer's outfit gives Mickey access to using a grappling hook to swing off of certain objects.

In point in the game, Mickey can purchase items such as a larger capacity of magic and water or more health.

This game, however, is really short. And like most games made around this time, if you skip something, you cannot go back. There is a great plus in this game for people who want a challenge: The hardest difficulty mode is very hard! I could never get through the second level.

As a fan of the Kingdom Hearts series, I thought I should go back and play this game. It is still as fun as it was when I was a kid. Like the partnership between Square Enix and Disney, Capcom and Disney made a sweet game here.

This game is one of the best SNES games EVER in my opinion! For a Capcom title, i'd consider it somewhat underrated. It's basically a 2-d platformer. You could say it's somewhat similar to Mario World or the DKC series. Knock out baddies by jumping on their heads or use special power ups-pass the main stages to fight bosses. Yeah, we've seen it a million times on the Super NES. But Capcom really did it 100% on Magical Quest. The gameplay is fantastic, very consistent. The graphics are very cartoonish, but they still look great all these years later. And music?? wow, a favorite SNES soundtrack of mine. Especially the "Dark Forest" theme...classic. And if you're worried about this being too "kiddy." Well let me tell you this! I swear the third zone is basically Mickey Mouse in HELL! If you've played this you know what i'm talkin' bout! But really, I only have 2...well 2 1/2 complaints.

1. No run button! On many SNES sidescrollers, holding Y will allow you to run...They didn't use that here. That said, all these years later I still hold Y wen playing this only hoping he'll speed up. :-x

2. Too $hort. This game is very short. there are 6-7 worlds, but only consisting of a couple levels each. A partially skilled player can easily beat this in less than 90 minutes.

2 1/2. This may sound like a dumb complaint based on my #2 (too short) but there is no save feature, password access, or level select screen. Sometimes I wanna play a specific level in this, but would have to play through several levels just to reach it. Minor complaint....

Overall and once again, this is an amazing game from start to finish. I recommend any 90's gamer who hasn't played this to DEFINITELY check it out!! Like I said before: If you loved Super Mario World and the Donkey Kong Country series, check this out! Also there are 2 sequels. #2 is called "The Great Circus Mystery." Number 3 is "Magical Quest 3 Starring Mickey and Donald", however it was only released in japan initially....but it made it to the states on the Gameboy Adavance. So break out your Gamecube & GBA Adaptor for that one!
