In Japan, Castle of Illusion, Quackshot, and World of Illusion are presented as a trilogy, since they all feature an "I Love X" prefix: "I Love Mickey Mouse: Castle of Mystery, a Great Adventure," then "I Love Donald Duck: Treasure of King Garuzia," then "I Love Mickey and Donald: The Mysterious Magic Box." Anyway, I hope you give World of Illusion its own video sometime.
Gargoyles was basically Disney's attempt to have their own dark and mature cartoon series to go up against Batman: The Animated Series, complete with A-list voice casting. You got Mark Hamill? Well, we have Jonathan Frakes!
Gargoyles went off the deep end and things went *weird*... But in a great way. TAS Bruce Wayne went off the deep end between the comics and then Batman Beyond and holy crap I can't look at Bruce Timms' name the same way again.
Marsupalami is actually a 1950s French comic character that Disney licensed in the 90s to try and market internationally. The character is still big in France with a movie having come out in the past few years.
The series Marsupilami itself is based on the comics by André Franquin, who debuted in Belgian comic series Spirou & Fantasio but spun off to its own series. There are differences between the comic and the TV show, while the comic is set in a South American jungle called The Green Inferno (as it is a perioulous place) and the comics centers of the title character and his family (consisting of a wife/mate, two sons, one is yellow with spots like his parents and sister, while the other is black, and a daughter) and their adventures, often encountering humans who become their companions/friends and Marsupilami can only speak in marsupilamian which main constists of "hubba" (prounched hoo-bah). The cartoon series puts the main character into different adventures, both in the jungle and other places and his accompanied by his friend, Maurice the Gorilla, and he is able to speak english but does have "hubba" as his catchphrase.
Being from Europe, Spirou & Fantasio was one of my favorite things when I was a child. Their adventures are like Tintin but always much faster paced. And yes, Marsupilami was a well liked-character. I liked the spin-off comic books, but not as much as the main series.
@@MJFallout Same, all the Belgian, French and other European greats were popular in Norway too. Spirou (Sprint), Blueberry, the one I can never find the name of but there are suddenly micro people that make their micro world and the Dassault Mirages and future shuttle stuff were so perfectly drawn
Apparently Disney acquired the international rights and made a TV series in the 90s. I do not know if the video game is based on the original or the Disney series, though. I wouldn’t count it on this list myself.
I could hear Mickey's crawl noise in that World of Illusion clip, haha! The Lion King is one of my favourites that I've played since I was a kid. I think it's probably my favourite one from this list. Thanks for a really great all-inclusive list here. I've got a few things to look up that I hadn't heard of.
Owned "World of Illusion", replayed it constantly. It was just really good. Completing the carpet lava level in "Aladdin" was incredibly satisfying as a kid.
Fun bit of trivia here, the Gargoyles OST (which absolutely slaps) was composed by Michael Giacchino, the guy who would go on to compose the soundtracks to movies like Up, the Incredibles, and Star Trek 2009.
Pocahontas is my all-time favorite Disney Sega game. The justice I felt when you named it in your top 5 was 😩👌 This video was so fun to watch. Thank you!!
I had the same feeling of jealousy when i saw quack shot on Genesis because i was a snes kid. I mean whyyyyy, look at those gorgeous animations and sprites, i only played those games like a million years later Great video as usual!
The visuals in a ton of the retro Disney games are seriously just incredible. Games like Aladdin and The Lion King are engraved into my mind. I never beat either when I was a kid, but they are still a couple of the most most memorable 16-bit games I have from my childhood. For some reason, Page Master is also in that list of memorable games, even though I hated it, lol. I think it's because of how much I loved the movie.
I would love a collection of the Mega Drive and Master System Disney games for current consoles. I remember getting Quackshot on Christmas day 1991 and I thought my copy was broken as I couldn't pass the first level. A couple weeks later one of my friends cousin showed me that you need to call the plane to get to the next levels.
Omg, I've been waiting for this one for like 2 years! At least when I saw it was on your backlog while I was supporting your patreon. And it paid off, because what a great collection of Disney games the Genesis actually had. I played so much of Castle of Illusion and Quack Shot when I was a kid, the latter's soundtrack is one of my favorites since ever. I never had a clue there were Pocahontas, Gargoyles and Marsupilami games (even finding out this is considered a Disney one was a surprise), and I'll definitely check them out!
@@SNESdrunk have you seen they're making a new Illusion game? It's out this summer, it's called Illusion Island, it was in a Nintendo direct, but it might come out for the other consoles too, I dunno. But yeah it looks fantastic, and I can't wait, cos I grew up with these Disney games, especially castle of Illusion, and so for them to finally make a new game in the series after 30 years or so that's not a remake or anything like that but a brand new game? Yeah, I'm excited. Get to maybe relive my childhood a bit.
My childhood, right here - Castle of Illusion - Aladdin - Beauty and the Beast duology - Bonkers - Jungle Book - Lion King - Mickey Mania - Pocahontas - Quackshot - Toy Story
Same. Somehow I either owned or rented damn near every game in this list. Makes me sad sometimes, that I can't go back to childhood and have that same fascination over these games like I used to. I still play them, mind you, but yeah when you're a kid, video games are kinda magic, you have no idea how any of it is possible, and it's just so fun. There was no Internet to find walk-throughs for games, you had to work it out yourself (yes the Internet did exist already back then, but less than 1% of people had it, it was only in 97-98 that it took off) Have you seen, they're making a new Illusion game that's out this July!? It's gonna be called Illusion Island, it's great and I'm really excited about it. A new Illusion game, after 3 decades, that's not a remake of a previous game or anything like that but instead a brand new game, I'll almost certainly buy it (unless reviews say it's terrible, but I doubt that'll happen)
@@duffman18 Summed up my childhood fascination with games (including internet part too) pretty well. Some magic is gone when you read up on them too much. I'm so glad someone else had this feeling too, I can sense you dearly love your experiences! Yes! I did see the new Illusion game trailer. Although I'm not fan of the new artwork (which is from the newer TV series), I'm hoping it turns out well.
The fact that they used Donald's temper as a mechanic in the game is simply pure genius 😂 also, I wish I had the chance to play that Pocahontas' game in my Super Nintendo, it looks very interesting
World of Illusion and Quackshot are two of my favorite games ever. I also had Goofy’s game and still feel the pain. lol - Mickey Mania is a blast, as is the one where you get to vacuum up the enemies. Toy Story and Lion King were ball busters, Tailspin and Bonkers were okay, I’ve never played any of the Beauty & The Beast Games, Gargoyles, Pinocchio, Pocahontas or Maui Mallard, and Aladdin’s is an all-time classic. Disney on Genesis was a good time to be a kid. ❤️
Quackshot is by far one of the most nostalgic games for me. The music is a big factor too..like the song in the haunted castle.. man, talk about a nostalgia trip! I was fortunate enough to have a snes and Genesis, so thankfully I got the best of both worlds. But yeah, Quackshot reallllly brings me back .. I played the shit out of that game. It evokes so many memories and brings me back to a much happier and simpler time in my life. Castle of illusion is right there with Quackshot too. I never played the sequel, world of illusion. Wish I had though. I always hear people giving credit to castle of illusion though, not world of illusion. I guess it flew under a lot of our radars at the time for some reason. Oh yeah, Aladdin and Lion King were both fu€king amazing when I was a kid. Lion king was still frustratingly hard, but such is the case with a lot of these older titles. We always somehow beat them though. There wasn’t much handholding in some of the older games, and I think many were better off for it.
Quackshot is my best too. There is nostalgia but still I believe would be equally great without nostalgia. Have you tried The Lucky Dime Caper starring Donald Duck on Game Gear? These two games are like brothers
Quackshot really is exceptional. There are few games in my life I've felt the desire to play through multiple times, but that game is the complete package. I've seen people complain about the backtracking, but that's an intentional part of the design, and the stages are designed to work that way.
I love world of illusion because my deceased grandmother liked to watch me play, so I have founder memories of it, also the different stages depending of who you play (including 2 player mode) was something new for that time.
I love Castle of Illusion so much, it remains one of my top Genesis games. It's worth checking out the Master System/Game Gear Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck games as well. I played them for the first time this year and had a blast
Apparently Mickey's Ultimate Challenge is developed by Designer Software (now WayForward) and one of the people involved in this is WayForward founder and Shantae creator Matt Bozon, who worked on the game's backgrounds.
Castle of illusion is a beautiful game with great music. I remember my orthodontist had this in his waiting room and they'd almost have to drag me out of there when it was time for my appointment
When I was a kid playing these games with really nice hand drawn 2D sprites and backgrounds, I used to dream of the day when games would get so advanced it would seem like you're playing a big budget fully-animated Disney movie in real time. then Mario 64 came out and the 2D dream died. Oh well
Not quite dead... There have been a few great looking traditionally animated games over the years (the point & click adventures of Lucas Arts for example) but these days indies have been picking up the baton of old school 2D animation with stuff like Cuphead or Gris. Absolutely stunning games. Some games like Armello or Hades also have amazing 2D-animated cutscenes or trailers but then the game itself is more 3D-based, or only partly 2D.
I have grown up with a lot of disney megadrive games, castle of illusion, quackshot, alladin, the lion king... still like them all and play them from time to time !
The Master System (/Game Gear) also had its fair share of solid Disney titles. Its version of Castle of Illusion plays a bit differently from the Genesis one, but I personally prefer the 8-bit one in this case. Land of Illusion is a "more of the same but better" sequel, and for Donald fans "The Lucky Dime Caper" and "Deep Duck Trouble" are both definitely worth checking out.
Yeah Sega at the time did some really amazing work with the Disney license and i agree about Castle of Illusion, there's something about the Master System version that makes it more fun than the Mega Drive one.
Marsupilami is a long-running Belgian comic strip, popular in Europe but never really caught on in the US. I had no idea that they licensed the character to Disney for an American TV show, let alone made him into a licensed game for the Genesis.
I've mentioned this before, but I only knew the genesis to be the Disney system for the first almost 10 years of knowing it. I learned about sonic in like high school. I was surprised to learn that Donald Duck games used to be among the best games of each system, at least on cartridge based systems. Great list! I hope you do master system/game gear Disney games next!
Wow. I forgot all about the Castle of Illusion and other Mickey games on the Genesis. I beat the remake of COI on PS3 a few years ago with my young daugter and although the game did seem weirdly familiar to me throughout our playthrough, it wasn't until watching this video that I finally remembered that I used to play it back when I was a kid on my Sega. From the looks of it they kept the game pretty much the same other than the obvious boost in graphics and everything. Really good games. Both the original and the newer remakes. I'm pumped for the new one coming out. Thanks for the video.
Sega’s take on making Disney licensed games are pretty good(for the most part), when it comes to graphics and the animation. It’s pretty awesome that the animators themselves even worked on some of the games.
Quackshot blew my mind as a kid. I was sleeping over my friend's house one night and he rented Quackshot from the store, I had never heard of it before, and I was absolutely amazed by it. I've never forgotten about that game ever since, that's the kind of impression it made on me.
I still get taken aback at the fact that Castle of Illusion and World of Illusion were put on the Sega Genesis Classic mini, but it does make sense for them to be there because they're both made by Sega in spite of the Disney properties, and they're both awesome games.
World of Illusion was probably my favorite just because of how not only do you have co-op and single player, but the game physically changes in mechanics when you play it in co-op and you even experience different levels or different views of levels. It was just so amazing and my co-op partner and I had a blast, playing through many times. My top 5 of the list would be: 1. World of Illusion; 2. Aladdin; 3. The Lion King; 4. Quackshot; and 5. Great Circus Mystery. Also Mickey Mania would be up there. Disney games back in the day were fire.
I was a Sega kid growing up and its still my favorite game system. But the only one of these i never knew about til recently was Pinocchio. Definitely need to play it! Graphics look awesome.
Nice list. My brother and me used to play world of illusion sooo many times when we were young and I still love it to this day. I’m glad to see other people liked it a lot too
Great video. Always enjoy Segadrunk and what a treat to get every Disney game! There are some real gems in that list. For me I'd probably go Aladdin, Gargoyles, Castle of Illusion then Toy Story but I need to give both Maui Mallard and Quackshot more time and I think either could take a top spot and I'll also be sure to give Pocahontas a try.
Great games, played at least six of those titles as a kid and the ones i always came back to play again are Mickey Mania and Maui Mallard. Something about creepy levels blended with those classic fairy tales makes awesome playthrough.
Something that wasn't brought up is that each solo playthrough has a different route, and when played in co-op, a long with a different route the challenge is changed with new traversal moves that can only be executed with a partner (thinks like lowering a rope for the other player, standing in eachothers heads and oulling donald through spaces he would normally get stuck
Me and my friend always got stuck on those doors near the end. Anyone remember them? It was like 5 doors in a row and we never figured out how to open them.
I played World of Illusion back in the 90s a countless times also 2 player with friends, and still recently found out when playing Donald in single player he goes through some diffirent levels then With Mickey! Definitely my all time favourite game EVER!
Man watching my brother play quack shot, was great, the music was awesome. I just remember how blown away we were by it, but I also remember some very difficult parts too, that’s when I was the little brother punching bag 😂
Born 1990 so grew up with the Sega Megadrive. Its incredible how gaming improved and i feel blessed to have been there to experience it. New consoles nowadays are not the huge leaps of old, so much so im still using a ps4 pro and my Nintendo switch.
I was a SNES kid as well but ironically didn’t really know anyone with a Genesis. As such, my knowledge of the best Games in that system are still quite thin to this day. This video is fantastic and I’m definitely going to pull from your list of to games! I’m excited to give them a run! Thanks!
Quackshot was the first Genesis game I got, after playing Sonic that came with it for months. One of the first games I beat as a kid. I can still remember the first time I did with my brother watching. One of my favorite games ever. I just cant get over how Donald moves his butt when walking, just like an actual duck. So much fun!
Quack Shot is my favorite among these. Such a great game. My only gripe with it is that it's so short. Would love to see a sequel or it getting put into one of the disney collection remasters with maybe an extra stage or two.
Great upload man. I've got a real soft spot for Disney games cos they're always so polished and faithful visually. They're not usually too difficult and are family friendly. Lucas Arts are another great company who present their games from movie tie ins really well.
Oh man got hit with some serious nostalgia bombs in this video. I had more than a few of these games growing up, mostly the movie tie-ins, but my family had the Sega Channel (essentially modern-day Game Pass where the available titles rotated either weekly or biweekly, I forget which) and I have vivid memories of games like Bonkers and Marsupilami. Decent enough games for a single session or two but nowhere near worth full price for, perfect for rental stores or in this case Sega Channel.
Oh I do love me these lists, and now moving onto the Genesis console is just fantastic, that way you'll have more material to go with. Good job as always, my man! Whenever I see Marsupalami I can't stop thinking about the AVGN quote "the camera jumps with the character, and that's a bunch of shit sauce and salami"
That Pinocchio game has some of the best graphics when it comes to color usage I've seen on Genesis. Genesis always struggled against SNES due to its color palette, but boy, that Pinocchio game did it right.
I grew up playing World of Illusion, Quackshot, Toy Story, and that infamous Lion King game (have PTSD just thinking about that wildebeest stage!), and I *very* strongly agree with your picks and opinions on this one, SNES Drunk! World of Illusion is one of the better examples of how to do coop multiplayer, and it was great that different stages existed for different playthroughs (Donald's butt was too big to have him crawl where Mickey could without assistance to get pulled through, and both players were needed to help each other climb up and operate various mechanisms to get to different areas and stages). It was an easy game but I had to get my sisters to cooperate with me for multiplayer (which greatly increased the difficulty), and that was both challenging and memorable and overall a positive experience for me. Quackshot was just a great time as a kid. Exploring the world as Donald Duck, upgrading that plunger gun, fighting bosses (easy-ish but fun enough), solving puzzles (will never forget that silly death trap puzzle in the ruins). Lion King was too hard at the time for me to comment on other than that insane wildebeest stage where you need almost pixel perfect positioning to dodge some of the combinations that ran through. Gonna have to revisit that and Battletoads with some liquid courage and friendly encouragement. And yeah, Toy Story is definitely an odd curiosity that everyone should try once. Almost all of these games had that Disney quality animation and artwork that signaled immediately that they were worth the experience of trying once (even if some weren't as good as others).
Great video! Haven't missed any of your content in years, often throwing them on in the background, glancing over on occasion, but this one had me glued to it from start to finish. Well done!
Someone probably mentioned but Marsupilami is a European comic from the 50’s, which is why it launched in PAL regions first. I’m sure the Disney adaption was part of what made the game happen, but it’s a much older IP.
Sega made some of the best Disney games on Genesis themselves with the Illusion games and Quackshot. Unfortunately, Maui Mallard was never released on the Genesis in North America, but an SNES version was. I think there is also a patch that fixes the sudden camera movement, too.
Quack Shot has always been one of my favorite Genesis games, although I've never able to beat it because it gets pretty tough towards the end. Maui Mallard is one of those games I never knew existed because of how late it was released (apparently Genesis didn't even get the game in the US), SNES didn't get the game until 1997 and by then most kids had already moved onto the Playstation and N64.
And they're making a new Illusion game now!!! It's coming out for the switch this summer (2023), don't know about the other consoles. But yeah it's gonna be called Illusion Island and you can play as mickey or Donald or Minnie or a 4th character I can't remember right now (goofy I think?) and all 4 characters play very differently and have different abilities and can go through different routes through the levels, like how it worked in sonic 3 & knuckles where all 3 characters could go to places in the level that the others could not, and knuckles especially had basically almost entirely new levels for some of the zones, like launch base zone is very very different). I think you'll be able to switch characters on the fly in Illusion Island, but also it's up to 4 players co-op too which sounds fun. Having grown up with the Illusion games for the mega drive, I'm incredibly excited for a new game in the series. It looks fantastic, it reminds me of the newer raymans (raymen) that are 2D platformers and are brilliant games. But yeah Sega had some of the best Disney games back in the day. Even the master system ones are brilliant, like they are essentially Ducktales games except you play as mickey. It has the same exact bouncing mechanic, the levels are very very similar in layout and appearance (compare the 1st level of Castle of Illusion for master system to the Amazon level of Ducktales, they're practically identical, it's so close that I'm surprised Nintendo or capcom didn't try to sue them; also little details are the same, like the treasure chests look almost identical to the treasure chests in Ducktales). For anyone who loves the Ducktales games and wishes there were more of them, well there ARE more of them, and they're all on the master system. They are a blatant rip off by Sega, and I don't care one bit about that. It's the closest thing to new Ducktales games that we've ever gotten. So if you like Ducktales, go play the mickey mouse games for the master system today, because you'll love them. They feel exactly the same as each other. They're unofficial Ducktales games in my eyes. Like how on the NES, Darkwing Duck is a Mega Man game cos it uses the exact same engine and plays and feels exactly the same. And how Twinbee Rainbow Bell Adventure for the SNES is essentially a Parodius version of Rocket Knight Adventures (hence the similar name), made by the same dev team, plays very very similarly, but stars Twinbee.
There’s a reason that “Marsupilami” got a game despite its short run: it’s based on a popular Belgian comic book. That’s probably why the game came out in the PAL region first. I’m less surprised that it got a game than I am said game was released in other regions; the comics were never that popular outside of Europe.
As a european, seeing Marsupilami here is surprising, I didn't know that Disney got the rights for that license. It's a pretty well known bande dessinée (comics book) character here. Think Spirou, Tintin or Asterix, that kind of stuff.

In Japan, Castle of Illusion, Quackshot, and World of Illusion are presented as a trilogy, since they all feature an "I Love X" prefix: "I Love Mickey Mouse: Castle of Mystery, a Great Adventure," then "I Love Donald Duck: Treasure of King Garuzia," then "I Love Mickey and Donald: The Mysterious Magic Box." Anyway, I hope you give World of Illusion its own video sometime.
Didn't they also get a game that the US didn't ?
That's so adorably on-brand for Japan
I see these games also as a trilogy but I damn like these games a lot😃
Wow they are three gems too
@@Gatorade69 The Mickey Mouse game with the balloons? Yeah I believe it did but I also believe that was a Super Famicom game.

They have it on disney plus
It's on Disney + right now. I might even go back and watch it again tonight.
Honestly, it was right up there with Batman: TAS for me when I was a kid. The art style in both completely captivated me.
@@infin1ty850 Same here. It's the combination of a Neo Gothic and Art Deco. The dark ambiance of both shows was very appealing.

@@noir66146 Okay?
@@osopeluche5953 Pocahontas took his wife, house, cats, dogs and kids

As a Genesis kid that was quite the walk down memory lane, some of these I never even heard of though so very cool video.
Fun bit of trivia here, the Gargoyles OST (which absolutely slaps) was composed by Michael Giacchino, the guy who would go on to compose the soundtracks to movies like Up, the Incredibles, and Star Trek 2009.
He also did the music in Maui Mallard.
Pocahontas is my all-time favorite Disney Sega game. The justice I felt when you named it in your top 5 was 😩👌
This video was so fun to watch. Thank you!!
This legit made me jump in joy.
One of my favorite topics in SNES/Genesis era gaming, Disney's games.
I had the same feeling of jealousy when i saw quack shot on Genesis because i was a snes kid. I mean whyyyyy, look at those gorgeous animations and sprites, i only played those games like a million years later
Great video as usual!
I didn't look closely enough and I thought I clicked on a Sega Lord X video, until I head that sweet beautiful intro.
Haha! I did the same thing!
The visuals in a ton of the retro Disney games are seriously just incredible. Games like Aladdin and The Lion King are engraved into my mind. I never beat either when I was a kid, but they are still a couple of the most most memorable 16-bit games I have from my childhood.
For some reason, Page Master is also in that list of memorable games, even though I hated it, lol. I think it's because of how much I loved the movie.
10:16 you had the opportunity to tell the audience to "be prepared"
I was going to comment the exact same thing. I was expecting him to say it. 😅
I would love a collection of the Mega Drive and Master System Disney games for current consoles. I remember getting Quackshot on Christmas day 1991 and I thought my copy was broken as I couldn't pass the first level. A couple weeks later one of my friends cousin showed me that you need to call the plane to get to the next levels.
You put the "green" flag 🚩 down and call for the plane. Good times lol.
Omg, I've been waiting for this one for like 2 years! At least when I saw it was on your backlog while I was supporting your patreon. And it paid off, because what a great collection of Disney games the Genesis actually had. I played so much of Castle of Illusion and Quack Shot when I was a kid, the latter's soundtrack is one of my favorites since ever. I never had a clue there were Pocahontas, Gargoyles and Marsupilami games (even finding out this is considered a Disney one was a surprise), and I'll definitely check them out!
Right, that's the real impetus of the vid -- Sega Genesis and Disney were synonymous in my head for a while
@@SNESdrunk have you seen they're making a new Illusion game? It's out this summer, it's called Illusion Island, it was in a Nintendo direct, but it might come out for the other consoles too, I dunno. But yeah it looks fantastic, and I can't wait, cos I grew up with these Disney games, especially castle of Illusion, and so for them to finally make a new game in the series after 30 years or so that's not a remake or anything like that but a brand new game? Yeah, I'm excited. Get to maybe relive my childhood a bit.
Snes drunk thanks for showing the genesis so much love, your channel is the absolute best you are a treasure on RUclips.
My childhood, right here
- Castle of Illusion
- Aladdin
- Beauty and the Beast duology
- Bonkers
- Jungle Book
- Lion King
- Mickey Mania
- Pocahontas
- Quackshot
- Toy Story
BatB games are literal trash. Roar is Castlevania ripoff that hates you and Belle is just confusing and boring
Same. Somehow I either owned or rented damn near every game in this list. Makes me sad sometimes, that I can't go back to childhood and have that same fascination over these games like I used to. I still play them, mind you, but yeah when you're a kid, video games are kinda magic, you have no idea how any of it is possible, and it's just so fun. There was no Internet to find walk-throughs for games, you had to work it out yourself (yes the Internet did exist already back then, but less than 1% of people had it, it was only in 97-98 that it took off)
Have you seen, they're making a new Illusion game that's out this July!? It's gonna be called Illusion Island, it's great and I'm really excited about it. A new Illusion game, after 3 decades, that's not a remake of a previous game or anything like that but instead a brand new game, I'll almost certainly buy it (unless reviews say it's terrible, but I doubt that'll happen)
@@duffman18 Summed up my childhood fascination with games (including internet part too) pretty well. Some magic is gone when you read up on them too much. I'm so glad someone else had this feeling too, I can sense you dearly love your experiences!
Yes! I did see the new Illusion game trailer. Although I'm not fan of the new artwork (which is from the newer TV series), I'm hoping it turns out well.
The fact that they used Donald's temper as a mechanic in the game is simply pure genius 😂 also, I wish I had the chance to play that Pocahontas' game in my Super Nintendo, it looks very interesting
World of Illusion and Quackshot are two of my favorite games ever. I also had Goofy’s game and still feel the pain. lol - Mickey Mania is a blast, as is the one where you get to vacuum up the enemies. Toy Story and Lion King were ball busters, Tailspin and Bonkers were okay, I’ve never played any of the Beauty & The Beast Games, Gargoyles, Pinocchio, Pocahontas or Maui Mallard, and Aladdin’s is an all-time classic. Disney on Genesis was a good time to be a kid. ❤️
I also owned Jungle Book and Marsupilami… Meh. lol
Quackshot was the first game I ever finished. Huge nostalgia for me.
Quackshot is by far one of the most nostalgic games for me. The music is a big factor too..like the song in the haunted castle.. man, talk about a nostalgia trip! I was fortunate enough to have a snes and Genesis, so thankfully I got the best of both worlds. But yeah, Quackshot reallllly brings me back .. I played the shit out of that game. It evokes so many memories and brings me back to a much happier and simpler time in my life. Castle of illusion is right there with Quackshot too. I never played the sequel, world of illusion. Wish I had though. I always hear people giving credit to castle of illusion though, not world of illusion. I guess it flew under a lot of our radars at the time for some reason. Oh yeah, Aladdin and Lion King were both fu€king amazing when I was a kid. Lion king was still frustratingly hard, but such is the case with a lot of these older titles. We always somehow beat them though. There wasn’t much handholding in some of the older games, and I think many were better off for it.
Quackshot is my best too. There is nostalgia but still I believe would be equally great without nostalgia. Have you tried The Lucky Dime Caper starring Donald Duck on Game Gear? These two games are like brothers
Quackshot isn't as fun as castle of illusion tho.
Quackshot was the game my parents bought for the Sega Genesis when I was a kid.
Fantastic list!
Man, Micky Mania really brings me back.
Quackshot really is exceptional. There are few games in my life I've felt the desire to play through multiple times, but that game is the complete package. I've seen people complain about the backtracking, but that's an intentional part of the design, and the stages are designed to work that way.
I love world of illusion because my deceased grandmother liked to watch me play, so I have founder memories of it, also the different stages depending of who you play (including 2 player mode) was something new for that time.
Quack shot and Toy story are the best. That first level finding the toys omg, iconic.
Also Lion King
I love Castle of Illusion so much, it remains one of my top Genesis games. It's worth checking out the Master System/Game Gear Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck games as well. I played them for the first time this year and had a blast
Apparently Mickey's Ultimate Challenge is developed by Designer Software (now WayForward) and one of the people involved in this is WayForward founder and Shantae creator Matt Bozon, who worked on the game's backgrounds.
Castle of illusion is a beautiful game with great music. I remember my orthodontist had this in his waiting room and they'd almost have to drag me out of there when it was time for my appointment
When I was a kid playing these games with really nice hand drawn 2D sprites and backgrounds, I used to dream of the day when games would get so advanced it would seem like you're playing a big budget fully-animated Disney movie in real time. then Mario 64 came out and the 2D dream died. Oh well
Not quite dead... There have been a few great looking traditionally animated games over the years (the point & click adventures of Lucas Arts for example) but these days indies have been picking up the baton of old school 2D animation with stuff like Cuphead or Gris. Absolutely stunning games. Some games like Armello or Hades also have amazing 2D-animated cutscenes or trailers but then the game itself is more 3D-based, or only partly 2D.
I have grown up with a lot of disney megadrive games, castle of illusion, quackshot, alladin, the lion king... still like them all and play them from time to time !
Aladdin is still one of my favorite games. Gargoyles was really fun as well.
Pocahontas is the best surprise for me. It looks great!
I LOVE QuackShot. A personal favorite I've repurchased multiple times.
The Master System (/Game Gear) also had its fair share of solid Disney titles. Its version of Castle of Illusion plays a bit differently from the Genesis one, but I personally prefer the 8-bit one in this case. Land of Illusion is a "more of the same but better" sequel, and for Donald fans "The Lucky Dime Caper" and "Deep Duck Trouble" are both definitely worth checking out.
Yeah Sega at the time did some really amazing work with the Disney license and i agree about Castle of Illusion, there's something about the Master System version that makes it more fun than the Mega Drive one.
Marsupilami is a long-running Belgian comic strip, popular in Europe but never really caught on in the US. I had no idea that they licensed the character to Disney for an American TV show, let alone made him into a licensed game for the Genesis.
That Pocahontas game actually looks really good!!! Never even heard of that one
good game. I beat it. not that long but not too easy.
I've mentioned this before, but I only knew the genesis to be the Disney system for the first almost 10 years of knowing it. I learned about sonic in like high school. I was surprised to learn that Donald Duck games used to be among the best games of each system, at least on cartridge based systems. Great list! I hope you do master system/game gear Disney games next!
Wow. I forgot all about the Castle of Illusion and other Mickey games on the Genesis. I beat the remake of COI on PS3 a few years ago with my young daugter and although the game did seem weirdly familiar to me throughout our playthrough, it wasn't until watching this video that I finally remembered that I used to play it back when I was a kid on my Sega. From the looks of it they kept the game pretty much the same other than the obvious boost in graphics and everything. Really good games. Both the original and the newer remakes. I'm pumped for the new one coming out. Thanks for the video.
Cool look at this library. Awesome video
22 games in 17 minutes is roughly 46 seconds per game. Just an incredible pace for a guy this late in his career. Can he keep this up!?
RIP old Sega man
Sega’s take on making Disney licensed games are pretty good(for the most part), when it comes to graphics and the animation. It’s pretty awesome that the animators themselves even worked on some of the games.
Oh my!!!! Quack shot. Just brought back some memories :)
Quackshot blew my mind as a kid. I was sleeping over my friend's house one night and he rented Quackshot from the store, I had never heard of it before, and I was absolutely amazed by it. I've never forgotten about that game ever since, that's the kind of impression it made on me.
I still get taken aback at the fact that Castle of Illusion and World of Illusion were put on the Sega Genesis Classic mini, but it does make sense for them to be there because they're both made by Sega in spite of the Disney properties, and they're both awesome games.
I'm binging all snesdrunk videos right now and I didn't even realize that this just came out like 50 mins ago xD
World of Illusion was probably my favorite just because of how not only do you have co-op and single player, but the game physically changes in mechanics when you play it in co-op and you even experience different levels or different views of levels. It was just so amazing and my co-op partner and I had a blast, playing through many times. My top 5 of the list would be: 1. World of Illusion; 2. Aladdin; 3. The Lion King; 4. Quackshot; and 5. Great Circus Mystery. Also Mickey Mania would be up there. Disney games back in the day were fire.
Fantastic video. I like seeing some games I also missed as SNES kid. Thank you so much for these compilations!
It feels good to hear good things about Pocahontas on the Genesis for once,i loved that game as a kid lol
I was a Sega kid growing up and its still my favorite game system. But the only one of these i never knew about til recently was Pinocchio. Definitely need to play it! Graphics look awesome.
Nice list. My brother and me used to play world of illusion sooo many times when we were young and I still love it to this day. I’m glad to see other people liked it a lot too
Great video. Always enjoy Segadrunk and what a treat to get every Disney game! There are some real gems in that list. For me I'd probably go Aladdin, Gargoyles, Castle of Illusion then Toy Story but I need to give both Maui Mallard and Quackshot more time and I think either could take a top spot and I'll also be sure to give Pocahontas a try.
Great games, played at least six of those titles as a kid and the ones i always came back to play again are Mickey Mania and Maui Mallard. Something about creepy levels blended with those classic fairy tales makes awesome playthrough.
I have so many fond memories from Castle and World of Illusion. Beat them countless times over the years.
I’d like to play Castle of Illusion, Quackshot, and World of Illusion again some day. They were faves of mine as a kid, especially Quackshot
Something that wasn't brought up is that each solo playthrough has a different route, and when played in co-op, a long with a different route the challenge is changed with new traversal moves that can only be executed with a partner (thinks like lowering a rope for the other player, standing in eachothers heads and oulling donald through spaces he would normally get stuck
Yes, that was one of the best points of World of Illusion, you had to play it three times to see the whole game.
Me and my friend always got stuck on those doors near the end. Anyone remember them? It was like 5 doors in a row and we never figured out how to open them.
I played World of Illusion back in the 90s a countless times also 2 player with friends, and still recently found out when playing Donald in single player he goes through some diffirent levels then With Mickey! Definitely my all time favourite game EVER!
0:52 That game is a childhood favorite of mine and I had NEVER realized that name was a pun. MIND BLOWN.
very informative and well made video as usual
Man watching my brother play quack shot, was great, the music was awesome. I just remember how blown away we were by it, but I also remember some very difficult parts too, that’s when I was the little brother punching bag 😂
Great video! You should do the same thing for the Master System Disney games. There are quite a few and they're all of pretty high-quality!
Thanks for this video! Your channel is a place I can always come back to sometime and have a good and relaxing time.
Born 1990 so grew up with the Sega Megadrive. Its incredible how gaming improved and i feel blessed to have been there to experience it. New consoles nowadays are not the huge leaps of old, so much so im still using a ps4 pro and my Nintendo switch.
I was a SNES kid as well but ironically didn’t really know anyone with a Genesis. As such, my knowledge of the best Games in that system are still quite thin to this day. This video is fantastic and I’m definitely going to pull from your list of to games! I’m excited to give them a run! Thanks!
Mickey and Minnie Great Circus Adventure was a favourite of mine. I can still hear the music. But I agree, it's too short.
Quackshot was the first Genesis game I got, after playing Sonic that came with it for months. One of the first games I beat as a kid. I can still remember the first time I did with my brother watching. One of my favorite games ever. I just cant get over how Donald moves his butt when walking, just like an actual duck. So much fun!
When I was a kid I owned a copy of quackshot. Seeing you play it in your video or rather gameplay of it triggered a long forgotten memory.
I have fond memories of quackshot as a kid. I also remember it was a little difficult for me back then. I might give it a go now.
Quack Shot is my favorite among these. Such a great game. My only gripe with it is that it's so short. Would love to see a sequel or it getting put into one of the disney collection remasters with maybe an extra stage or two.
i had mickey mania on sega CD the added sountrack and voices made it amazing back in the days
Great upload man. I've got a real soft spot for Disney games cos they're always so polished and faithful visually. They're not usually too difficult and are family friendly. Lucas Arts are another great company who present their games from movie tie ins really well.
Oh man got hit with some serious nostalgia bombs in this video. I had more than a few of these games growing up, mostly the movie tie-ins, but my family had the Sega Channel (essentially modern-day Game Pass where the available titles rotated either weekly or biweekly, I forget which) and I have vivid memories of games like Bonkers and Marsupilami. Decent enough games for a single session or two but nowhere near worth full price for, perfect for rental stores or in this case Sega Channel.
Mickey Mania had a commercial on par with Mortal Kombat, as far as tone. Disney used to rock so hard in the 90s
Oh I do love me these lists, and now moving onto the Genesis console is just fantastic, that way you'll have more material to go with.
Good job as always, my man!
Whenever I see Marsupalami I can't stop thinking about the AVGN quote "the camera jumps with the character, and that's a bunch of shit sauce and salami"
Loved Aladdin and the Jungle Book! Frikken Lion King was way too HARD! XD
It was nice to see a longer video. I’m a big fan of your 5ish minute vids but this was a nice change 👍
Right on for Quackshot. One of the best.
I'll never get tired from hearing praise for World of Illusion. ^^ One of my favorite Genesis games too, it is charming to its core =)
Once in a while I remember to post a comment to say thank you for those videos! Lots of good memories, relaxing vibes and great recommendations!
When I was a kid I had Donald Duck Quack shot, Donald Duck and the Lucky Dime caper and Castle of Illusions on the game gear. Loved those games
Finally some justice for Quackshot. It deserves it's place among te best.
That Pinocchio game has some of the best graphics when it comes to color usage I've seen on Genesis. Genesis always struggled against SNES due to its color palette, but boy, that Pinocchio game did it right.
I grew up playing World of Illusion, Quackshot, Toy Story, and that infamous Lion King game (have PTSD just thinking about that wildebeest stage!), and I *very* strongly agree with your picks and opinions on this one, SNES Drunk!
World of Illusion is one of the better examples of how to do coop multiplayer, and it was great that different stages existed for different playthroughs (Donald's butt was too big to have him crawl where Mickey could without assistance to get pulled through, and both players were needed to help each other climb up and operate various mechanisms to get to different areas and stages).
It was an easy game but I had to get my sisters to cooperate with me for multiplayer (which greatly increased the difficulty), and that was both challenging and memorable and overall a positive experience for me.
Quackshot was just a great time as a kid.
Exploring the world as Donald Duck, upgrading that plunger gun, fighting bosses (easy-ish but fun enough), solving puzzles (will never forget that silly death trap puzzle in the ruins).
Lion King was too hard at the time for me to comment on other than that insane wildebeest stage where you need almost pixel perfect positioning to dodge some of the combinations that ran through. Gonna have to revisit that and Battletoads with some liquid courage and friendly encouragement.
And yeah, Toy Story is definitely an odd curiosity that everyone should try once.
Almost all of these games had that Disney quality animation and artwork that signaled immediately that they were worth the experience of trying once (even if some weren't as good as others).
Great video! Haven't missed any of your content in years, often throwing them on in the background, glancing over on occasion, but this one had me glued to it from start to finish. Well done!
Someone probably mentioned but Marsupilami is a European comic from the 50’s, which is why it launched in PAL regions first. I’m sure the Disney adaption was part of what made the game happen, but it’s a much older IP.
Sega made some of the best Disney games on Genesis themselves with the Illusion games and Quackshot.
Unfortunately, Maui Mallard was never released on the Genesis in North America, but an SNES version was. I think there is also a patch that fixes the sudden camera movement, too.
I love the amazing scene in the Pocahontas one, where you run and jump off the cliff to the water
Quack Shot has always been one of my favorite Genesis games, although I've never able to beat it because it gets pretty tough towards the end. Maui Mallard is one of those games I never knew existed because of how late it was released (apparently Genesis didn't even get the game in the US), SNES didn't get the game until 1997 and by then most kids had already moved onto the Playstation and N64.
Great video as always. I love when you make lists and longer videos like this one
And they're making a new Illusion game now!!! It's coming out for the switch this summer (2023), don't know about the other consoles. But yeah it's gonna be called Illusion Island and you can play as mickey or Donald or Minnie or a 4th character I can't remember right now (goofy I think?) and all 4 characters play very differently and have different abilities and can go through different routes through the levels, like how it worked in sonic 3 & knuckles where all 3 characters could go to places in the level that the others could not, and knuckles especially had basically almost entirely new levels for some of the zones, like launch base zone is very very different). I think you'll be able to switch characters on the fly in Illusion Island, but also it's up to 4 players co-op too which sounds fun.
Having grown up with the Illusion games for the mega drive, I'm incredibly excited for a new game in the series. It looks fantastic, it reminds me of the newer raymans (raymen) that are 2D platformers and are brilliant games.
But yeah Sega had some of the best Disney games back in the day. Even the master system ones are brilliant, like they are essentially Ducktales games except you play as mickey. It has the same exact bouncing mechanic, the levels are very very similar in layout and appearance (compare the 1st level of Castle of Illusion for master system to the Amazon level of Ducktales, they're practically identical, it's so close that I'm surprised Nintendo or capcom didn't try to sue them; also little details are the same, like the treasure chests look almost identical to the treasure chests in Ducktales).
For anyone who loves the Ducktales games and wishes there were more of them, well there ARE more of them, and they're all on the master system. They are a blatant rip off by Sega, and I don't care one bit about that. It's the closest thing to new Ducktales games that we've ever gotten. So if you like Ducktales, go play the mickey mouse games for the master system today, because you'll love them. They feel exactly the same as each other. They're unofficial Ducktales games in my eyes. Like how on the NES, Darkwing Duck is a Mega Man game cos it uses the exact same engine and plays and feels exactly the same. And how Twinbee Rainbow Bell Adventure for the SNES is essentially a Parodius version of Rocket Knight Adventures (hence the similar name), made by the same dev team, plays very very similarly, but stars Twinbee.
Excellent video to get me through my hangover, thank you! :)
We need more long videos great job on this one 👍
There’s a reason that “Marsupilami” got a game despite its short run: it’s based on a popular Belgian comic book. That’s probably why the game came out in the PAL region first. I’m less surprised that it got a game than I am said game was released in other regions; the comics were never that popular outside of Europe.
My first console was the Genesis, so I do have fond memories of these games. 👍
As a european, seeing Marsupilami here is surprising, I didn't know that Disney got the rights for that license. It's a pretty well known bande dessinée (comics book) character here. Think Spirou, Tintin or Asterix, that kind of stuff.
This was great!
