Mickey Mouse IV on Game Boy is one of those classic platformers that just feels right—like slipping into a comfy pair of old sneakers. You start off bouncing between platforms, dodging weird little enemies (some of them look like walking apples?), and grabbing those classic Mickey power-ups. The controls are simple—just run, jump, and occasionally throw something—but the level design keeps it interesting.

What surprised me was how much personality they squeezed into those tiny sprites. Mickey’s got this goofy little hop when he jumps, and some of the backgrounds have these weird, charming details you’d miss if you were rushing through. It’s not the hardest game out there, but there’s something satisfying about nailing a tricky jump or finally figuring out where that one hidden collectible was hiding.

If you’ve got a soft spot for old-school Disney or just want a no-fuss platformer, this one’s a solid pick. Just don’t expect it to reinvent the wheel—it’s pure, simple fun from the ‘90s.
