When that release date slipped, Sony Digi Pen dropped that idea for it, but kept the overall theme- a journey through some of Mickey's most memorable cartoons. Throughout the game, you meet up with various Mickeys of the past in order to combat [[Big Bad\|Pete]] in the final level. Well remembered for its breathtaking animation and challenging difficulty. The cartoons, in order are: * 1: 1928's ''[[Steamboat Willie]]'': Mickey's theatrical debut, and one of the earliest synchronized sound cartoons. * 2: 1933's ''[[The Mad Doctor]]'': One of Mickey's more infamous shorts, due to its macabre subject matter. The Mad Doctor from this short has recently gone on to be in ''[[Epic Mickey]]''. * 3: 1937's ''Moose Hunters'': [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin\|Mickey, Donald and Goofy go moose hunting.]] * 4: 1937's ''[[Lonesome Ghosts]]'': Mickey, [[Donald Duck]] and [[Goofy]] get called out to a haunted mansion by some ghosts for some fun. One of the more popular Fab Three cartoons. * 5: 1947's ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'', from ''[[Fun and Fancy Free]]'': Mickey sells a cow for magic beans, and he, Donald and Goofy find themselves face-to-face with Willie the Giant. * 5.5: 1935's ''[[The Band Concert]]'': The first (publicly available) Mickey short in living color. Considered to be among the best cartoons ever made. The level is a bonus level in the Genesis, Sega CD, and Playstation version. * 6: 1990's ''[[The Prince and ~~The~~the Pauper (Disney film)\|The Prince and The Pauper]]'': The final cartoon of the game, and at the time, the most recent theatrical short. By far the longest cartoon in the game- both in terms of level length and length of source material. Not to be confused with ''[[Mike Jittlov\|Mouse Mania]]'', even if Mickey appears in that, too. ~~------------------------------~~ ~~=== Tropes Used By This game: ===~~ {{tropelist}} * [[Advancing Wall of Doom]]: In ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'', you have to get away from a giant spider. Subverted in that you can't actually run away from it-- you have to jump on a ladybug and ride it away. [[Guide Dang It\|Made difficult thanks to the ladybug looking like an enemy.]] ** The last section of ''Moose Hunters'' has you running away from the moose in a run-towards-the-screen section. The [[PS 1]] port added a similar section with Willie the Giant. * [[A Winner Is You]] * ~[[Big Boo's Haunt~]]: The ''Lonesome Ghosts'' manor, 'natch. * [[Breather Level]]: ''Moose Hunters'' is signifigantly easier than ''the Mad Doctor'' or ''Lonesome Ghosts''. * [[Dem Bones]]: Just like its source cartoon, ''The Mad Doctor'' has humonoid skeletons and [[Nightmare Fuel\|giant spider skeletons.]] Line 39 ⟶ 41: * [[Port Town]]: The ''Steamboat Willie'' level proceeds from the steamboat onto a port side town. * [[Secret Level]]: As mentioned previously, ''The Band Concert''. The whole level takes place on flying crates inside a tornado, so it's also unlike any other level in the game. * [[Shout -Out]]: Obvious, considering the subject matter. Nevertheless, one example stands out. The hidden Mad Doctor Mickey seems to derive not from ''the Mad Doctor'', but an earlier horror themed short, 1929's ''The Haunted House''.▼ * [[Screwed By the Lawyers]]: the mere existence of the [[PS One]] ''alone'' prevents the game from ever seeing a [[Virtual Console]] re-release; because of this, however, the game's [[PS 1]] port is now available in the [[Playstation Network\|Playstation Store.]] ▲* [[Shout Out]]: Obvious, considering the subject matter. Nevertheless, one example stands out. The hidden Mad Doctor Mickey seems to derive not from ''the Mad Doctor'', but an earlier horror themed short, 1929's ''The Haunted House''. Also, in the ''Lonesome Ghosts'' level, a few rolling portraits from [[The Haunted Mansion]] appear in the background. Doubles as a [[Mythology Gag]] since the original concept for the Mansion was a dark ride based on Lonesome Ghosts. While not definite, Mickey has thrown marbles as weapons [[Castle of Illusion\|before.]] Line 46 ⟶ 47: {{reflist}} [[Category:~~Play Station~~PlayStation]] [[Category:Sega Genesis]] [[Category:Platform Game]] Line 52 ⟶ 53: [[Category:Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] [[Category:index]] [[Category:~~Mickey Mania~~{{PAGENAME}}]] [[Category:Video Game]]
