Overview

World of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck (known in the Japanese box art as World of Illusion: I Love Mickey & Donald - Fushigi na Magic Box, the sub-title loosely translated to "The Mysterious Magic Box") is a side-scrolling platformer developed and published by Sega for the Sega Genesis on December 14, 1992 (in Europe), December 18, 1992 (in Japan), and March 1993 (in North America).

Starring Disney mascots Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck, the game is a successor to two Sega-developed games: Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse and QuackShot starring Donald Duck. While preparing for a magic show, both Mickey and Donald encounter a mysterious magic box and enter it, which transports them into a mysterious magical world ruled by a powerful magician.

While players can progress through the game solo as either Mickey or Donald, with Mickey having access to alternate routes by crawling through small passageways, the game supports two-player co-operative multiplayer with one as Mickey and one as Donald. In two-player games, both players can reach new areas by stacking on top of each other and calling down a rope.

The game was later included in the North American and European versions of the 2019 Sega Genesis Mini microconsole.
