There's an Italian doom WAD where you control mickey mouse calling the cops on people for staying out during covid lockdown. In the game folder there's an amazing secret WAD you can load from the console (or rename to the original's filename) where you're Donald Duck with a minigun and have to kill everyone and Mickey is the final boss. lolol (it's called "topolino amico delle guardie")
Fascinating, this kinda feels like showing off one of those defunct Disneyland attractions. That empty part where the stampede was supposed to be especially, like the animatronics that were meant to be there were scrapped a long time ago.
"I sent Disney a demo with Mickey shooting a minigun to shock the execs" "This game was canceled for some reason" 🤔🤔🤔 I'm just kidding Jon. I love this! Great behind the scenes look.
i mean i thought it too lol granted I imagine the execs would've likely been too wowed by the tech to be bothered by an obvious gag over concerns of brand identity
he explains at the end that it was cancelled because they instead opted to work on the Toy Story game which was an opportunity to work on a - at the time - new IP.
Out of curiosity, would Mickey Mania 2 have been released before the PS1 port of the original? Was the PS1 version released in lieu of the cancellation of the sequel? Just seems odd Sony gave it completely diferent title.
I get the feeling this was in development right after MM1 since he mentions in the video they used the 3D for Toy Story. So I can only imagine they went to Disney and said "hey we want to make MM2" and Disney said "BAM! This is our new movie. Make a game for it quick". In fact the movie game from what I can see came out the same month as the movie, which is pretty damn impressive and it would be interesting to know what the sales were because of this.
@@novelezra Oh yeah, when Ocean had a movie license, they always aimed for the time the movie hit rental. (possibly as they'd also get a free ad on the tape)
My guess was it was probably looking at a release for the 32x/gen/snes/cd based on it being shortly after the first games release, a ps 1 and Saturn possibly being a launch would make sense too though at the time.
the "doom mickey" looks exactly like the mods we played back then. i had simpsons, barney, zombies, aliens, and various disney theme ones. these mods would completely change texture files and sounds to make the game look like a completely different game with the doom map layout
The fact that there was a planned sequel to Mickey Mania that never came to fruition keeps me up at night. What a legendary opportunity missed. Love your work, sir. Thank you!
That firefly thing sounds like a Donkey Kong Country-style hazard. Like, these bugs follow you around, steadily growing angrier while there's no light source on the screen, and if they get mad enough they swarm and attack you.
@amilani3 "yes, of course we need every light in the level to be dynamic raycasts, making this game run bad on anything less than a 3070 is a small price to pay"
Can’t say I’m surprised the DOOM tribute was rejected. They still don’t want characters like Mickey Mouse in fighting games which is why Dissidia, which was intended to be Kingdom Hearts game, was changed to be a Final Fantasy one and why Sora didn’t have any references to the Disney characters sans the Kingdom Key when he was included in Smash Ultimate. Even Epic Mickey was toned down from its initial darker tone to fit more with Disney’s mandates
Pigsy's Retro Game Dev Tutorials is working on a port of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night for the Sega Genesis. His progress so far is quite remarkable.
I hope he does it'd be interesting to hear how they were originally composed compared to the final release, out of curiosity which tracks did you compose for MM?
Congrats Matt! I just loved the music in sega genesis MM... specially the ones in the underground caverns, when going up the rotating tower, escaping from the ascending fire while killing the weasels in last level... Oh, man, so many years gone by and they still sound in my head! Thumbs up! PS: Maybe you should try to email Jon. This video has 125+ comments in only four hours. I don't think Jon will read every commentary...
Does this by chance have something to do with your tracks being removed in the CD and PS1 ports of the game? I always found that rather disappointing cuz i love your work on this game.
Wait, THE Matt Furniss? Thank you SO MUCH for Puggsy's soundtrack. Mainly speaking of the Genesis version which has a lot more music than CD version. I wonder if there are still demoes of the music that didn't make it to the CD version, but in the original quality.
Such a shame it was cancelled. Would have loved to have seen both levels fully finished. Love all the little details you put into your games, such as the fireflies. Thanks for sharing.

Apparently this guy and his company Traveller’s Tales ran into some hot water over something, and some of the workers filed complaints against him about abuse and crunch. Although I don’t really know the full story, some people say the Polygon article that spread the story was misleading, some said the work schedule they were complaining about was reasonable and they agreed to it, etc.
Amazing! That reminds me. Back in the 90s I replaced the baron from hell with Aladdin. He came out good. He was throwing Abu to defeat the player. Which was Lemming.
Please upload another episode soon. Its really fun to hear how these games are made and all the smart tricks that push the games graphics beyond the limits.
Not quite. Both systems have their strengths and weaknesses. The SNES could provide extra colour and had a technically superior sound chip that was ahead of its time. The Mega Drive, meanwhile, was a much faster system and the weaker music and visual technicals had the one positive of not taking up as much space on the cartridges, which allowed devs to fit in extra content. I know a lot of people like to look at games like Starfox and say "Look what the Super Nintendo is doing!" Eh, it's technically on par with Hard Drivin' on the MD, and the latter didn't cheat with extra chips.
Irregardless of how some Traveller's Tales were reviews there was no denying that the technical mastery in each of them is nothing short of amazing. It's also amazing that you've hung onto all of these old builds. If you haver anything kicking around for the planned A Bug's Life Saturn port I would love to see even a rough build.
Awesome video! I'm subscribing now, and it's nice to hear from someone who was actually coding for the 16 bit systems. I still love those systems today.
I'm not a programmer, but I absolutely love your channel. The creativity, ingenuity, and resourcefulness top level programmers employ is truly impressive and up there with the most remarkable engineering achievements in the physical world. My hat is off to you and your cohorts.
the shading used for the ceiling and the floor actually ends up being seen in Toy Story as well, as the hole you discard the aliens into is massive, allowing you to see the shading mixed with the graphic of the aliens that are already inside the machine
That's a lot of work you've showcased!! :D Thanks for sharing!! It all looked awesome!! :) The fireflies were a great touch!!! Thanks again for another terrific video!
I love seeing this stuff. You guys really pulled off amazing effects rarely seen in games on the genesis. I wish Disney would do a rerelease of Mickey Mania and Toy Story similar to the Aladdin/Lions King games. (Throw Pocahontas on there too!)
I had Mickey Mania (PS1) as a lil kid, got it as a hands me down back in 2002-3. Always loved how water looked on that version, thats something that stuck with me for some reason. Great to get some insight from the person behind it.
wow that level was amazingly well designed! that would have been a fun game! are the rights such that you can change the character and release your own version?
You know if the assest are still around, you can make "Mickey Mania 2" from scratch. With help from fans, and maybe have Minnie as a secondary playable,optional character too.
I have loved your videos for a long time, just as someone who enjoys video game history. I am not the biggest retro-gamer, but, I do appreciate learning about how systems were pushed to their limits. My son has actually started learning to code for the purpose of making video games. He has enjoyed games since he was little, and now wants to start making his own. I have introduced him to your channel, and I can see gears turning in his head while he watches your videos. Great content. Much appreciated from the casual viewer, such as myself, and the potential future game developer, such as my son!
That floor ceiling effect is so cool… it’s also interesting how much particle and pixel related effects you can achieve on a megadrive… little clever piece of hardware
I know Jon Burton is retired, but how cool would it be, now with new Mega Drive games being made with SGDK, if he teamed up with some other legends (I'm thinking Yuzo Koshiro or people from Treasure) to make the DEFINITIVE Mega Drive game. If I ever win the lottery, I'm sure I will try to hire him to do something 😂
Hey Mr. Burton! I'm a big fan of your channel, but I've been thinking about Sonic 3D Blast recently, and I have some questions that I was wondering if you could answer... Firstly, do you know if the Sonic model used in 3D Blast was also used in Sonic Blast for the Game Gear? And secondly, do you still have that Sonic model saved anywhere?
Everything you’ve done whether ‘normal’ techniques or the exceptional limit pushing ideas hasn’t ever seem to have compromised the frame rate which is really impressive and commendable. I feel like many devs just don’t care about that aspect enough!
Optimization really isn't a thing anymore, and like many here in the comments I wish it still was. I get excited hearing about optimization techniques that can be used in programming. Heck one of the other videos from his channel mention color cycling and weird dithering techniques to increase frame rate and sometimes number of colors.
@@rommix0 it definitely still is a thing. Few games back then were optimized to this extent also, you just don't see people making videos about the crappy games they made back in the 90s, just the exceptional ones.
Super cool. Mickey Mania 2 was a missed opportunity. That sidescroling level looks even better than Toy Story level you did (though that was cool too). That doom level though, oh how I want a Disney x Doom game now!
The fireflies remind me of Castlevania Rondo of Blood. There is a stage where flying insects (moths?) cluster around lights and items but when there are none on the screen they cluster around you. Was pretty impressive for an 8-bit console.
In the first toon, in the first filmstrip, when the cartoons first lengthened, one stood. He chose the path of perpetual brand recognition. In his ravenous expansion, he found no equal, and with boiling blood, he scoured the legal fields, seeking vengeance against the copyright infringers who had wronged him. And those that tasted the bite of his Keyblade named him…the Goof Slayer.
The effect of colors and background appearing at the start of the stage really impressed me. It is a shame this game was not made, I love mickey mania.
Puggsy was one of my favourite games on Amiga growing up, I was always fascinated by the unexpected depth and cleverness (especially in the world of platformers!) of the object interaction system, I would love to learn more about how it was implemented and especially if those act/react triggers were hardcoded in each level or if you had implemented some sort of scripting system for the trigger logic.
Excellent gameplay mechanics and platforming... definitely keeps you busy and kinda reminds me of Sony PS3's Uncharted games in it's foundation. great video. Of course scheduling around that time played a role since Toy Story was the new thing in 1995.
I would really like to know how that impressive swinging rope effect works, it looks so smooth! I have an idea of how it'd work but it'd be great to hear it from the source
Given how Zero Tolerance performs on the genesis as a shipping rom, the performance on your Disney DOOM segment is incredible. Even better than what we got from the actual DOOM for 32x.
I'm so happy you shared this with us, I'm super impressed now but I really would have gone nuts if I saw this when I was younger if this came out on the genesis. Maybe someday if you have the time and inclination you can create a new game we can run on an emulator or a new cartridge game.
Oh, that's awesome, you basically did the PS1 Megaman X style tilted perspective floor sprites, but then had them skew. The spiral stair stages in the X games really could have benefitted from that trick. What you had was basically a whole console generation of 2D graphic design ahead of its time.
I don't think Roy Disney would've approved more Fantasia on the Genesis considering how he made Sega withdraw the previous Genesis Fantasia game from circulation although, now that you've mentioned it, I wonder what a Fantasia Genesis game developed by Traveller's Tales instead of Infogrames would've been like. Probably a much more playable game than the Genesis Fantasia game we actually got.
With so many new Mega Drive games being released nowadays it would be great to see you raising funds with a Kickstarter for finishing this game or just creating something new.
The idea of Mickey Mouse walking around with a minigun is so funny.

And the ironic thing is Mickey fights many times in his Disney shorts. Including defeating a Giant.
Except that's not why it was cancelled, it was cancelled because they created a videogame for Toy Story instead, which reused the Doom clone
@@tomysshadow but it being used in the Mickey Mouse game was still rejected. I guess they just thought it would thematically fit more with Toy Story.
Indeed
Disney stuff not being in Smash is more so because Masahiro Sakurai said only characters who originated in video games can be included.

I'm so happy you shared this with us, I'm super impressed now but I really would have gone nuts if I saw this when I was younger if this came out on the genesis. Maybe someday if you have the time and inclination you can create a new game we can run on an emulator or a new cartridge game.
Oh, that's awesome, you basically did the PS1 Megaman X style tilted perspective floor sprites, but then had them skew. The spiral stair stages in the X games really could have benefitted from that trick.
What you had was basically a whole console generation of 2D graphic design ahead of its time.

Thank you for sharing
I bet Disney representatives were shocked even more than Walt Disney stepping into their offices after defrosting.
Rare: We shocked Nintendo by giving Donkey Kong a shotgun.
Jon: Amateurs...
This is visually super impressive. I especially love the animation
Best channel theme tune on RUclips!
Bummer this title was cancelled. So many fascinating ideas within the demos. I wonder if someday it could be released.
This level design is more creative than 95% of most game studios. You really are gifted, man
Beautiful animation of the rope, "doom" section brillant !
Aside the shanghaied and two gun Mickey levels, i think there would’ve been a Fantasia, plane crazy,and even a level based on The Karnival Kid
I don't think Roy Disney would've approved more Fantasia on the Genesis considering how he made Sega withdraw the previous Genesis Fantasia game from circulation although, now that you've mentioned it, I wonder what a Fantasia Genesis game developed by Traveller's Tales instead of Infogrames would've been like. Probably a much more playable game than the Genesis Fantasia game we actually got.
@@SteveBrandon maybe a level based on runaway brain
With so many new Mega Drive games being released nowadays it would be great to see you raising funds with a Kickstarter for finishing this game or just creating something new.
