John 'Turbo' Finlay revisits a true SEGA classic in this full playthrough of the SEGA Master System version of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse. Taking control of Mickey on a quest to rescue Minnie from the evil witch Mizrabel, Turbo journeys through enchanted forests, toylands, haunted libraries, and surreal dreamscapes in one of the Master System’s most beloved platformers.
While often overshadowed by its Mega Drive counterpart, the 8-bit version of Castle of Illusion carved out its own identity with unique level design, charming visuals, and surprisingly challenging gameplay. Across this complete longplay, Turbo experiences the full adventure as one of Disney and SEGA’s most celebrated collaborations.
About the Game:
Released for the SEGA Master System and Game Gear in 1990, Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse is a side-scrolling platformer developed by SEGA. The game follows Mickey Mouse as he ventures into the Castle of Illusion to save Minnie Mouse from the jealous witch Mizrabel. Featuring colourful visuals, imaginative stage themes, and tight platforming mechanics, the title became one of the standout Disney games of the 8-bit era and remains fondly remembered by retro gaming fans.
“Castle of Illusion showed just how magical Disney games could be in the 16-bit and 8-bit eras alike.” – Retro Gamer
This video is an unedited VOD of a Turbo Drive Live Twitch stream.
