Magical Quest 3 Starring Mickey & Donald tells the story of Huey, Dewy, and Louie being kidnapped by hand from their mysterious book in Storybook Land. Donald Duck and his friend Mickey Mouse must team up to save them by defeating the evil King Pete. The game is designed for one or two players and allows you to choose between playing as either Mickey Mouse or Donald Duck . You can also adjust the difficulty level of the game.
The gameplay follows a similar pattern to previous Magical Quest games, with a focus on jumping on enemies, collecting coins, and using special abilities. As you progress through the game, both Mickey and Donald will receive costumes that grant them unique powers. Mickey will get full knight's armor with a lance and shield, while Donald will have a barrel and hammer due to his larger size.
Each stage has hidden doors that lead to Bonus Games, shops, and areas filled with coins and treasures. In these Bonus Games, you can choose from three cards and win prizes unless the card features King Pete's picture. The shops allow you to purchase upgrades for your costumes, lives, and health meter.
