Mickey Mouse in the first stage - the Fun House.

Mickey Mousecapade's gameplay consists of players controlling Mickey Mouse through 2D platforming, while Minnie Mouse follows Mickey and occasionally gets kidnapped.

The game's plot involves Mickey and Minnie traveling through a fun house, an ocean, a forest, a pirate ship, and a castle to rescue Alice from Alice in Wonderland . In the Japanese version, Alice is prominently featured on the box art and instruction manual, but Alice is vaguely referred to as "a friend" in the American version's advertisements and instruction manual, despite her still appearing in the ending cutscene. Various villains from Disney cartoons and animated films appear throughout the game as bosses. [2]

The Japanese and American versions contain a variety of differences from each other, including: enemies, items, weapons, boss characters, and level names. [2]

Reception

Allgame's Skyler Miller described the visuals as serviceable, but the music as overly repetitive. [3] Miller awarded the game two out of five stars. IGN rated it the 86th greatest NES game of all time. [4]
