World of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, known in Japan as I Love Mickey & Donald: The Mysterious Magic Box (アイラブ ミッキー＆ドナルド ふしぎなマジックボックス Ai Rabu Mikki ando Donarudo: Fushigi na Majikku Bokkusu?) is a 1992 platformer video game developed by Sega AM7 and produced by Sega for the Sega Genesis. The game was released in North America on December 17, 1992, in Japan on December 18, 1992 and in Europe on December 19, 1992. It is part of Sega's Illusion series of Mickey Mouse games.
Players can either play solo as either Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck, or co-operatively with two players controlling Mickey and Donald whilst sharing from the same pool of lives. Mickey and Donald can run, jump, or attack by flourishing their capes. Enemies defeated in this way turn into doves, cards, or other harmless objects depending on the enemy. After defeating the boss of each level, a new magic spell is learned, allowing the pair to traverse the next level; i.e. flying on a magic carpet or going underwater in an air bubble. The gameplay changes significantly depending on the characters chosen. For example, Mickey can squeeze through certain gaps, while Donald must find a different route, leading him to entirely different realms. When playing in two player mode, the players can stand on each other's shoulders and use ropes to help each other out, and Mickey can pull Donald through gaps his (evidently very stiff) tail feathers prevent him from fitting through.
The game's music, artwork and animation shows influences from classic Disney animated films (similar to the Kingdom Hearts series), including; Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Pinocchio, Fantasia, Alice in Wonderland, Sleeping Beauty, The Sword in the Stone, and The Little Mermaid.
