This game was one of many that sapped at my childhood hours. I would play it until My brain bled, and because it was such a sweet, Honeyed game, I could still walk away smiling. It was just one of those games.

I can't really remeber the difficulty curve, But the game had two main gameplay modes: Practice, and main. Pratice had no real value, It's main mission was to find 3 colourful gems, hindden in three themed levels. Forest, Toys and a choclate factory. when you found the gems, you would talk to the game's antagonist, mizrebel the witch, and she would gladly trade them for minnie.
A bit of an anti-climax.
The main adventure is a bit more satisfying. The gems are now held by bosses of each level. You fight a clown, a tree, and a bar of chocolate.


It turns out i was right about the drippily joyous everything about this game. But it turns out you can skip the worst of it.
Okay, bit of a boring skill level choice screen... Practice and normal.
Okay, let's go normal. I'm outside of a caslte. fair enough... I was chasing a witch... But who's the bloke with the beard? he's telling me I need the gems to beat mizrebel... why? no answer. okay. three doors. I'll pick the first one. it's forest. into a cave, generic leaf jumping, killed the big evil tree. back at the doors. one has filled up with stone. wow. picked the middle one. a choclate factory with an atuomatically moving screen. Uh-oh, I don't know what the hell i'm doing. I've fallen off a couple of times. I'm fighting against the bizarre looking bar of chocolate now. killed him. now onto the toy level. I've just mordered a pink clown. (I've so far neglected to mention that Mickey's only form of defence (defence is the best attack, that is...) is to use his booty. he jumps and lands on people with his bum. a bit disturbing, but he's not really allowed to punch people out, is he? )
Okay, a ladder appeared. I assume that I'm meant to climb up it. Okay, fresh twist. two more doors. I'm stopping playing now. I'm ust not enjoying it as much anymore. I loved it whe i was little, though.

It's too colourful for it's own good. It's so up-beat it makes me angry. But it's a mickey mouse game. it has to be. It really should've been part of the metal gear solid series. then it would've been gold.
