The evil witch Mizrabel has kidnapped Minnie and it is your job as Mickey to rescue her. There are six levels and you can choose the order in which you tackle the first three then the next two. Unlike the Genesis version, you have the ability to pick up, throw, and place items and must use those items to solve puzzles.

9A charming action platformer that looks great and has the right level of challenge and puzzles. It's a light and fun game and one of the best for the Sega Master System.
