Mickey Mania on the Genesis is one of those weird, charming platformers that feels like a love letter to Disney's history. You jump through different eras of Mickey's animation—black-and-white Steamboat Willie levels, the spooky Mad Doctor cartoon vibes, even a Prince and the Pauper section—and the art style shifts to match. The controls are a little floaty, but once you get used to it, bouncing off enemies' heads becomes weirdly satisfying.

Fair warning: it's tougher than it looks. Those old-school cartoon gags? Yeah, they'll kill you. Falling anvils, rolling barrels—Mickey’s golden age was brutal. The beta version floating around has some quirks (occasional slowdown, a few unfinished sprites), but it’s a neat peek at what could’ve been. If you’re into retro Disney or just want a platformer that doesn’t play it safe, give it a shot.
