Mickey Mouse may be the single-most recognizable character in the Disney library, but he doesn't have many games featuring him. Most of the games on this list aren't all about the mouse, which seems odd, seeing as he's the character people most often think of when someone says "Disney."

That said, he has had a few decent games, and the best one to feature the famous mouse is arguably Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse. The game was released in 1994 for a number of systems, including the SNES, Genesis, and Sega CD. The PlayStation got a port for release in Europe in 1996.

The game is a platformer, and it stars none other than Mickey Mouse as he time travels across his cinematic history. This include stops in places familiar to anyone who has seen Steamboat Willie and The Prince and the Pauper.

Mickey had the ability to attack his enemies, but he did so in the most "Disney" way possible: he threw marbles at them. He could also stomp on them Mario-style when he ran out of marbles. The game was widely beloved, and while it's an excellent Mickey game, it's also one of the best puzzle platformers released for the Genesis, which is saying something.
