In ''Castle of Illusion'', the player controls Mickey Mouse through six levels, known as the "worlds of illusion." Mickey moves with {{left}} or {{right}}. He ducks with {{down}} and jumps with {{2}}. While in the air, Mickey can perform a bounce attack by pressing {{1}} in the Master System version and {{2}} in the Game Gear version, allowing him to defeat foes that he lands on and bounce up to reach higher places. Mickey can slide down slopes if he lands on them while doing his bounce attack. Mickey can grab an item by holding the D-Pad in the direction of the item while standing next to it and pick up the item by pressing {{1}}. The item can be thrown with {{left}}+{{1}} or {{right}}+{{1}}; he sets the item down next to him with {{1}}. Items can be thrown at enemies to defeat them. Items can also be used as steps to reach higher places. Mickey can swim underwater with {{repeat|{{2}}}}. He enters doorways or climbs ladders with {{up}}; he descends ladders with {{down}}.
  
−
Three levels, containing a gem each, are available in the beginning and can be joined at any order: "The Enchanted Forest", "Toyland" and "The Dessert Factory". Once the first three levels are finished, another two are unlocked, with two gems each and no sequential restriction again: "The Library" and "The Clock Tower". After collecting all seven gems, the final level is unlocked: "The Castle".
+
Mickey begins the game with three stars on his Power Gauge, indicating how many hits he can take by enemies. If he is carrying an item, he drops it when he takes damage. He loses a try if he loses all of the stars in his Power Gauge. The game ends if Mickey runs out of tries, but it can be continued from the beginning of the current level as long as the player has continues remaining. There are two Power Stars hidden in the game that extend his Power Gauge by two stars.

    Castle of Illusion

    		„

    — Opening sequence [17]


    Castle of Illusion follows Mickey Mouse as he attempts to defeat the witch Mizrabel who has kidnapped Minnie. As he approaches the entrance of Mizrabel's castle, a mysterious old man appears and offers him assistance. Mickey must defeat Mizrabel's henchmen in each level and obtain a crystal which, if all of them obtained, will open up the route to witch's throne room.

    Gameplay

    Castle of Illusion SMS, Stage Select.png

    Castle

    In Castle of Illusion, the player controls Mickey Mouse through six levels, known as the "worlds of illusion." Mickey moves with Left or Right. He ducks with Down and jumps with 2. While in the air, Mickey can perform a bounce attack by pressing 1 in the Master System version and 2 in the Game Gear version, allowing him to defeat foes that he lands on and bounce up to reach higher places. Mickey can slide down slopes if he lands on them while doing his bounce attack. Mickey can grab an item by holding the D-Pad in the direction of the item while standing next to it and pick up the item by pressing 1. The item can be thrown with Left+1 or Right+1; he sets the item down next to him with 1. Items can be thrown at enemies to defeat them. Items can also be used as steps to reach higher places. Mickey can swim underwater with 22222. He enters doorways or climbs ladders with Up; he descends ladders with Down.

    Mickey begins the game with three stars on his Power Gauge, indicating how many hits he can take by enemies. If he is carrying an item, he drops it when he takes damage. He loses a try if he loses all of the stars in his Power Gauge. The game ends if Mickey runs out of tries, but it can be continued from the beginning of the current level as long as the player has continues remaining. There are two Power Stars hidden in the game that extend his Power Gauge by two stars.
