Released in 1994, Mickey Mania wasn't just another cash grab platformer from Disney. Without a property to tie it to, the game is both a standalone title and celebration of the squeaky-voiced mouse and his - then - sixty-five years on the main stage.

Smartly etching a story around some of Mickey's most famous cartoon shorts and movies, the game is really an excuse for new and old audiences to fling Mickey across a familiar vessel (Steamboat Mickey), fight some spooks (Lonesome Ghosts) and ascend a certain beanstalk (Mickey And The Beanstalk), to cite just a few advenures. With a few more moves added to his repertoire since he last graced a videogame, this is an addictive and only occasinoally challenging experience.

Fourteen years after its release Disney attempted to replicate the success of this game with Epic Mickey, to a less emphatic response.
