Incredible how well the visuals can be passed as a modern game, it shows the amount of Dedication Travelers Tales had before they became exclusively a Lego game developer, despite there track record being mixed from a gameplay standpoint you can't denie how talented everyone was.
This is why video games are important pieces of animation. Think about it for a minute or two. With all of these 2D platformer games, there’s always a lot of hard work that goes into making every single sprite and every single frame of animation be as fluid as possible. I can definitely appreciate stuff like that. Man, I wish there were more people in the world who appreciated presentation the way I do. Garfield: Caught in the Act is another great example of a game that’s very well animated, as is The Lion King and Aladdin (Genesis) for example. It’s just so nice to see how well these games look, even today. Art is definitely beautiful, isn’t it?
Some extras: - 5:48 You must jump and maintain pressed the jump button, so you'll take the life on the saws. - 8:23 go back to the elevator and it will go upper to a secret area. - 21:23 There is a secret level there; he should advance a bit, instead start to jump on the butterflies until the part seen in 21:40 and using that bug, to push a lever AND THEN back to the butterflies of 21:23,jump on them and go to the map section seen in 21:26. You will find, a red interrogation near the life and the stars (more concret, on the stars). Jump into it and you will enter in a secret level where you can earn an extra continue and find Band Concert Mickey.
Cool thing about the third one, didn't know that! There's also a "shortcut" for the first boss (the cranes). You can jump on the lower cogwheels while pressing JUMP to bounce higher and if you stay as much on the left or right as you can, you can throw ammo to the upper ones without needing the springs even once.
@@benjackson7872 maybe but the gameplay was pretty bad... i think MD version is the best one tbh, good soundtrack, great gameplay, not missing tracks or having loading times, and everything just looks smoother, SNES version isn't that good except for the music, but SEGA CD is the most complete version of the game so... it's all about opinions
After all these years I thought the stress and rage was behind me. Only to see this video and it all came flooding back. Lol This game was so difficult to complete as a kid.
i played this when i was super and still didnt know how cool it was, because i couldn't even get past the first level, to this day thats what I thought the whole game was like
Micky mania was the sh back in ‘94. I remember begging my one grandma for it for the genesis for Christmas of 1994 and I got it. It was a 70 dollar game than.
Ah 2d platforming with no handholding tutorial or coma-inducing story. Just pure gameplay with objectives, puzzles, bonuses, and ultimately, fun, that you have to figure out on your own.
God, I saw the cover art of this in a game store once before I even knew how to properly read, and for the life of me never thought I'd find out what its gameplay was like (since my family, predictably for early 90s parents, was not keen on impulse buying their elementary school kid a video game, leave alone one he knew nothing about.) Thanks for this, man, I thought that for me this was just going to be a mystery lost to time forever.
In 21:44 after you turn on the switch you must go back to the place you've been in 21:27 to enter the special stage to meet the Maestro Mickey in the Tornado's concert to complete the game!
I had this game when I was a kid, I remember it as very funny but very difficult. I've never pass over the stage at 32:02, that was always my game over point.
@@MamRadVlaky yeah, but as you can imagine, at that time I was very upset and I didn't know how many schemes were remaining until finish the game! I've always missed the emotion to finish the game in that time.
Still impressive in 2021, the genesis had some of the best graphics of any non 3d console. The graphics were really smooth for it's time NTSC 30fps, playing them on emulators running at 60fps is a crazy smooth experience.
This is such a great game, definitely needs a remaster for the current consoles especially the Switch. Sega CD has the best audio for this game by far.
In 8:23 wait a little longer in the elevator, it will bring you higher, you must go there to save the Mad doctor's Mickey otherwise the game won't be complete.
I remember playing this on my SNES when I was a kid, but I'm sure that the sound effects were different. Cuphead's design and animation remind me this game a lot.
This was so much better than the SNES port, which lost a lot of graphical finesse despite being more powerful hardware. That's blast processing for you right there. Also the soundtrack was like 100x better.
Yep it was due to the lack of blast processing that the levels where cut as due to the Snes's slower cpu it couldn't handle them a Super FX chip would have been needed which the publishes weren't willing to pay for.
This game frustrated me as a kid . Never got pass the 2nd stage the one with falling debris ,Stones and a rampaging moose. 😢 . But its a really beautiful game. And even if i never got to beat it, its still one of my Favorites😂
As I only had the SNES port of this game growing up, it's interesting to see the differences between versions. A bit dismayed that the two extra Mickeys were not shown, but the first would have led to skipping the Mad Doctor fight, and I've always thought that dodging all those potions and bones was quite a challenge. Overall, this was a good run.
Takes me back when I used to play this so much, also I think my was kinda broken cause it tend to loop the first level after first clear before continuing as shown...also I never finished it ( I was like 6 if not less when I played this)
now that I finished watching it actually it feels like I had a longer game, I have no recollection of Pete...I remember running up the nightmare tower...but I feel like i had more levels :D
Aha I remember this one. I don't think I ever beat it though. I was fairly young at the time and the game was too hard for me. Hearing the soundtrack kinda gives me a nostalgic feeling
Mickey Mania: Proving that even the weakest 16-bit consoles can handle TONS of 3D graphical effects. (Seriously. This is Castlevania SotN levels of "3D in 2D games", and SotN is a PLAYSTATION game too!)
I distinctly remember there being a little Mickey Skeleton in the water trap at 28:02. Did they take it out in later versions of the game or something?

for real! i need to show my kids this stuff. it would be like a treasure, looking back it must be 100s of games now. just throws me right back
Man I came here to post the same thing, I remember it being brutally difficult. Tbh a lot of those disney games were incredibly difficult
Fr something about this game is very mind opening
Even as an adult this game is hard af. For no reason!!!!

The sound track is an absolute masterpiece 👌🏽
That's what brought me here!! Searching for this game on a Friday morning because I remembered the music!!
This game is as graphically impressive as it is frustratingly difficult.
Yes, this game gets very difficult after the first level. The cheap enemy placement is the worst aspect.
@@ricardocantoral7672I agree. The cheap enemy placement is at its worst in The Lonesome Ghosts and ESPECIALLY in The Prince and The Pauper.
@@garfieldlazylasagna1234couldn't agree more! The ghosts were sooo stressful to beat! And I could never pass the last level, it's just too hard 😮💨
I'm finished this game with save states
Some extras:
- 5:48 You must jump and maintain pressed the jump button, so you'll take the life on the saws.
- 8:23 go back to the elevator and it will go upper to a secret area.
- 21:23 There is a secret level there; he should advance a bit, instead start to jump on the butterflies until the part seen in 21:40 and using that bug, to push a lever AND THEN back to the butterflies of 21:23,jump on them and go to the map section seen in 21:26.

This is awesome!
A visually stunning game at the time, still holds up as a classic mega drive genesis title
One of my favorite games back then that I NEVER got to beat.
Always felt the Disney games of this time frame, had really good graphics
OMG I played this game for HOURS when I was a kid! What a fantastic trip down memory lane! Thanks for uploading 😊
The NOSTALGIA this vid portrays makes me realize today that nothing and/or nobody could NEVER
The steamboat willie tribute is unironically a work of art
everyhing about this game is work of art. Shame its only lacking bosses in later parts

I gotta say, this game for the Genesis looks amazing and I kinda enjoyed the music here too

@@benjackson7872 nah! Genesis version had better music was better overall.
@@Aj-me8mo I disagree
What an impressive game for the Mega drive! Great graphical effects, fantastic animation, good scrolling...
The graphics and visuals in this game really push the envelope of what the Genesis (Mega Drive) could do.
Agreed.
or it was a 32x game
This wasn't a 32X game.
No, it was also released in Mega CD.
After all these years I thought the stress and rage was behind me. Only to see this video and it all came flooding back. Lol
This game was so difficult to complete as a kid.
I replayed it this week, after almost 30 years, and the game is still surprisingly fun.
My favorite version of Mickey Mania due to Matt Furniss's music and sound driver.
Loved this game! Never made it past the mad scientist though.
Just noticed I lost before the last level every time
Git gud
The Moose Hunter chase level music is still a catchy piece. I always loved playing this game just to hear it when I reach that level.
can't believe you didn't get hit by a single skeleton bone in the mad doctor level.
I know i beat the game on my sega mini but I had to use the save state to get past most of it. Whoevers playing dosen't get hit at all Lol
Everything's beautiful in this game!
Great game. One of my favs for MD.
Kids these days will NEVER know how cool shit like this REALLY was!

This is a tough game, but you make it look easy 👍🏻
I remember seeing that wall at 13:17 scaling like that and being super impressed back in 1994.
Your avatar makes me nostalgic.👍
It works the same way as some of the graphics in toy story
Im still impressed. You don't see cool 3d effects like that much on the MegaDrive. It looks like a 3d model from a ps1 game.
The music for this game is so good. Brings back so many memories.

if only u could feel what i’m feeling watching this nostalgic video
How nostalgic, this game is very well done, I loved it. He reminds me a lot of Pinocchio, it's almost the same style of play.
I woke up from a dream with the part at 9:39 in my head. All theses years later and that anxiety inducing music still gets me
I played this game so many times and it was kinda hard!
Really? I never found it difficult (except for the saws on the second level). Even on hard mode.
@@benjackson7872 wow u soo cool
@@benjackson7872its took me 40-60 tries since I got the game to even get to the prince and the pauper stage

Visually one of the best for Genesis, and the gameplay and music were great as well.

Let’s hope we finally get this on Switch now that Genesis has been added and Castle of Illusion.
This player is a machine! Makes it look so easy
I remember the U.S. commercial for this game, where the announcer tried to make Mickey Mouse look edgy and extreme.
I had this game when I was a kid, I remember it as very funny but very difficult. I've never pass over the stage at 32:02, that was always my game over point.
Same, i had no idea what happened, but then recently i play it again on emulator and i made it pass that level
well, that's basically end of the game, so still ok I guess :)
@@MamRadVlaky yeah, but as you can imagine, at that time I was very upset and I didn't know how many schemes were remaining until finish the game! I've always missed the emotion to finish the game in that time.
I got a game over by the dumbest way on that part when playing today 💀
There was an error that made the fire go to the top just at the start. It was impossible to pass.
Game with incredible graphics for the time,
Too bad they cancel Mickey mania 2 for sega genesis.
This game literally ruined my childhood for its hellish difficulty
And my adulthood, fucking game
I don't quite remember if I managed to defeat last boss, but part with mixing potion I really adored :)
Still impressive in 2021, the genesis had some of the best graphics of any non 3d console. The graphics were really smooth for it's time NTSC 30fps, playing them on emulators running at 60fps is a crazy smooth experience.
Shame it wasn't the same for PAL players who had slower versions
This was about as 'Cuphead' as it got back then! Impressive cartoony animations!
Who would to think that the same guy who helped design the game would go on to create one of the best vehicular combat games on the PS1?
Also God of War.
This is such a great game, definitely needs a remaster for the current consoles especially the Switch. Sega CD has the best audio for this game by far.
The graphics...wow!!!
***** What's to kid about? Right? This was pretty good for back in the day.
your such a troll
You are incorrect. This game was impressive back in the day.
***** So was I and it was great, got great reviews and did well commercially.
This is the best looking 16 bit game in my opinion. If it was in widescreen, this could easily pass as a modern game.
Happy Days!! I thought I dreamt / hallucinated this game, but I remember renting it from *_Xtra-vision_* in the mid 90's. The music!!
it's an amazing journey from steamboat willie to the prince and the pauper!
The Mad Doctor Level is way too long, while Moose Hunter’s is too short. But it’s surely a great game after all
In 8:23 wait a little longer in the elevator, it will bring you higher, you must go there to save the Mad doctor's Mickey otherwise the game won't be complete.
wow, this is my childhood!
Recuerdos de la infancia desbloqueado
¡¡Sí!!
Omg the best graphics ever this had how they added first eliments off 3d was insane
Wow thank you for helping me remember amd relive a memory from when i was 3-4 years old. Im 30 now lol
Hey now I remember this! I loved this game! Thanks for the upload 😀
Isn't it crazy that one of the guys who worked on this game, went on to create/direct God of War and Twisted Metal?
I remember playing this on my SNES when I was a kid, but I'm sure that the sound effects were different. Cuphead's design and animation remind me this game a lot.

Este juego lo vi cuando se podían descargar títulos al Sega Genesis por Sega Channel en los años 90 acá en Chile.
The message at the end kinda makes the whole game feel like an advertisement for whatever the next Mickey Mouse cartoon was after that
My first game ever, thanks for upload, SNES version is equally great 👍

its crazy that this masterpiece is gonna be 30 years old in october
*This game does have good graphics for the Sega Genesis!*
I had this on the SNES. .. it was a hard game... only got to the final boss a few times. but never beat him
This was so much better than the SNES port, which lost a lot of graphical finesse despite being more powerful hardware. That's blast processing for you right there. Also the soundtrack was like 100x better.
I know with the Aladdin game they had help from actual Disney animators, might be the same for this game.
Wasn't the same developers but Disney were involved.
You do know that blast processing is technically not a thing that exists right? That was marketing jargon.
Mega Drive is more powerful than the snes
Yep it was due to the lack of blast processing that the levels where cut as due to the Snes's slower cpu it couldn't handle them a Super FX chip would have been needed which the publishes weren't willing to pay for.
So that’s what this game looks like after steamboat willy…
Couldn’t pass it as a kid!
I like how micky’s sprites are like Sonic’s
16:29 This hallway destroyed all of my lives as a kid.
Oh I HATE that part.
The best version of mickey mania!

The way Mickey almost fell down, it smooth for 2d game in 90s era
Some of the music on moose hunters is the parts of the music labelled The garden on the PS1 version.
How did you make that jump at the beginning of lonesome ghosts?
41 minutes… I can’t believe that’s how long this game was lol.. I spent that much on that first few levels as a kid 😂
aesthetically beautiful but so hard to play, this one frustrated me so much as a kid
I had this when i was very little. I really struggled to get anywhere with it.
I still have this game! I play my sega all the time ☺️

The linescrolling on the wall at 13:17 really impressed me in the 90s.
8:20 you missed Mickey here. You should wait here a little and elevator will go up
