As mentioned earlier, the game features a remastered soundtrack composed by Grant Kirkhope, a well-known Brit composer who has also written music for Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning and other games.
The music is another strong point of the game and contributes to the nostalgia effect. His experience comes from high-profile titles such as the Uncharted series, Metal Gear Solid 3, Just Cause and The Incredible Hulk. McGonagle is one of the most experienced voice actors that also “starred” in video games. SEGA employed the services of Richard McGonagle as narrator in Castle of Illusion and he has done a marvelous job. What I really loved about Castle of Illusion besides the nice graphics is the voice acting. However, if you wish to unlock special stuff, like various outfits for Mickey, you will have to be a bit more thorough as each level has hidden objects like chili peppers and playing cards. Players will have to gather enough diamonds to unlock the next level, but even if you don't get all diamonds spread along the three stages of a level, you will still be able to gather enough in order to unlock the next one.
At the end of each level, Mickey will face a boss who drops a special gem that he needs for the rainbow bridge. The game is divided into multiple levels, each with 3 stages. In order to fight Mizrabel and save Minnie, Mickey Mouse needs to build a rainbow bridge using special gems that can be found at the end of each level. Players take control of one of the most popular characters starring in Disney's cartoons, Mickey Mouse, who is on a quest to save his sweetheart, Minnie Mouse, from the clutches of the evil witch Mizrabel who wants to steal her beauty.
