World of Illusion is a follow-up to Castle of Illusion . Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck are taken to a magic world and have to get back home. In order to do that, they can play magical tricks and interact with each other in a two-player cooperative mode.
The game has cartoon-like graphics and is played as a side-scrolling platformer. Both Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck can run, jump, or attack with their capes. Magic spells are learned after boss battles, and are later used as transportation means.
In single-player mode, Donald Duck must find alternate routes. However, in two-player cooperative mode, Mickey can pull Donald through certain gaps. The two characters can also stand on each other's shoulders and lower ropes to access certain areas.
World of Illusion was released for the Genesis in 1992.
