Passagem Secreta Presents

00:00:08.701 --> 00:00:10.780
>>Rafael Fernandes: From the best games released for the Mega Drive,

00:00:10.781 --> 00:00:15.280
always enters in the list at least one of these two classics released in the early life of the console:

00:00:15.281 --> 00:00:17.200
Castle of Illusion, with Mickey,

00:00:17.201 --> 00:00:18.960
and QuackShot, with Donald Duck.

00:00:18.961 --> 00:00:23.230
These games are not only examples of how to do a good platform game,

00:00:23.231 --> 00:00:26.070
but also of how to use a license in a decent manner,

00:00:26.071 --> 00:00:28.330
which at that time was not a very common thing.

00:00:28.950 --> 00:00:32.955
However, there is another little known game that is also as good as these two,

00:00:32.956 --> 00:00:37.145
called World of Illusion, starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck.

00:00:51.010 --> 00:00:52.690
Developed by AM7,

00:00:52.691 --> 00:00:56.400
that is the subdivision of SEGA that made Streets of Rage, Golden Axe,

00:00:56.401 --> 00:00:59.101
the Shinobi series and these games from Disney,

00:00:59.102 --> 00:01:03.170
the game is a platform game that puts you in control of Donald or Mickey,

00:01:03.601 --> 00:01:05.175
and the story is roughly like this:

00:01:05.176 --> 00:01:07.500
while they were training for a magic show,

00:01:07.501 --> 00:01:09.845
Donald finds a mysterious curtain.

00:01:09.846 --> 00:01:11.921
While entering it to mess around,

00:01:11.922 --> 00:01:13.865
he ends up falling inside of it and disappearing.

00:01:14.066 --> 00:01:16.340
Mickey then goes right behind his friend,

00:01:16.341 --> 00:01:18.615
and so the two end up getting into another dimension.

00:01:18.616 --> 00:01:23.280
And then a mysterious voice challenges them to leave this place using their magical powers,

00:01:23.281 --> 00:01:24.930
then it is when the challenge begins.

00:01:29.831 --> 00:01:33.111
The game gives you the possibility to choose between Mickey or Donald,

00:01:33.112 --> 00:01:34.540
in single player mode.

00:01:34.541 --> 00:01:37.300
While the stages of both adventures are similar,

00:01:37.301 --> 00:01:40.901
there are some differences between them, such as this one in the third stage:

00:01:40.902 --> 00:01:43.572
Donald can not pass because he have a very large tail,

00:01:43.573 --> 00:01:47.250
then he has to go back and go over the place where Mickey went.

00:01:48.251 --> 00:01:50.670
The stages of Donald Duck are much harder,

00:01:50.671 --> 00:01:55.270
and the enemies are smarter and extra stages require a little more agility from the player,

00:01:55.271 --> 00:01:56.625
as you are seeing there.

00:02:04.210 --> 00:02:07.971
Even so, you can finish it with at least half an hour with each character,

00:02:07.972 --> 00:02:09.610
if you are very skilled.

00:02:13.225 --> 00:02:15.730
The controls are very simple: C jumps,

00:02:15.731 --> 00:02:18.120
B casts the magic spell, and A runs,

00:02:18.121 --> 00:02:22.905
an essential command for stages that sometimes get a little longer if you walk at normal speed.

00:02:23.006 --> 00:02:25.306
But there is no use in running like a maniac,

00:02:25.307 --> 00:02:28.750
since there are multiple enemies and platforms to jump over the stage.

00:02:34.751 --> 00:02:35.901
>>Donald Duck: Wow!

00:02:39.072 --> 00:02:40.512
>>Rafael Fernandes: Although it seems very short,

00:02:40.513 --> 00:02:42.510
I still need to talk about the two-player mode.

00:02:42.611 --> 00:02:45.110
When playing with a friend, the game expands,

00:02:45.111 --> 00:02:49.760
and there are a greater number of stages, which increases the difficulty to favour the exploration.

00:02:49.761 --> 00:02:51.960
Furthermore, the design of these stages change,

00:02:51.961 --> 00:02:54.761
so the players can help each other in a cooperative manner,

00:02:54.762 --> 00:02:57.925
like in this part where Mickey has to throw the rope to Donald climb,

00:02:59.206 --> 00:03:02.582
or in this one, when you have to pull Donald because of his fat tail.

00:03:02.983 --> 00:03:06.773
The experience becomes very fun and ideal for playing on the emulator online,

00:03:06.774 --> 00:03:11.750
since the game has a slower pace that favors the exploration and reasoning instead of action.

00:03:19.000 --> 00:03:22.315
The graphics are fantastic, in the level of previous games from SEGA.

00:03:22.816 --> 00:03:26.175
All sprites are well animated, and with an excellent level of detail.

00:03:26.576 --> 00:03:30.260
The only setback is that some scenarios seem to have the colors a bit washed out,

00:03:30.261 --> 00:03:34.621
but this can be easily compensated by the high level of detail that they have.

00:03:35.222 --> 00:03:38.760
Unfortunately, the slowdown is present at some times during the game,

00:03:38.761 --> 00:03:40.425
especially for two players,

00:03:40.426 --> 00:03:42.090
but it's nothing that comes to bother.

00:03:42.701 --> 00:03:45.701
The sound is also very good; There are only two voices in the game,

00:03:45.702 --> 00:03:47.810
when Mickey and Donald use their magic tricks.

00:03:48.241 --> 00:03:49.511
>>Mickey: Alakazam!

00:03:49.512 --> 00:03:51.462
>>Donald: Alakazam!

00:03:53.280 --> 00:03:57.170
>>Rafael Fernandes: The sound effects are quite common, and the songs are very inspired,

00:03:57.171 --> 00:03:59.650
easy to go around whistling the themes.

00:04:41.901 --> 00:04:47.580
Furthermore, World of Illusion could be considered a classic as much as QuackShot or Castle of Illusion,

00:04:47.581 --> 00:04:52.601
but unfortunately turned out to be overshadowed by other Mega Drive games that were released in the same year,

00:04:52.602 --> 00:04:54.752
like Sonic 2 and Streets of Rage.

00:04:55.453 --> 00:04:56.960
Despite being a bit short,

00:04:56.961 --> 00:05:00.280
the game entertains for several plays, even after finishing it.

00:05:00.281 --> 00:05:02.720
It is a game mostly recommended for children,

00:05:02.721 --> 00:05:05.141
because of its difficulty and the cooperative mode.

00:05:05.450 --> 00:05:10.100
