Pirates swarm all over the floors and tear Mickey apart with projectiles while smashing into him at every opportunity. The pirate ship is literally only four screens long, and is by far one of the cheapest stages ever made. It’s one of the few areas that provide a challenge, but it’s still annoying. If you enter the wrong door at any point, you’re thrown back to the very beginning of the maze. Entering correct door changes the season of the stage, giving you a vague clue that you’re on the right track.

The forest maze is full of doors that Mickey and Minnie have to pass through to reach the end of the stage. Levels three and four, a forest maze and a pirate ship respectively, are a pain however. Most of the levels aren’t difficult, barring the annoyances Minnie causes. The game is extremely short, with only five levels. It’s a nice touch if you’re a Disney aficionado. Many of the bosses are Disney staples like Pete and Maleficent, whereas some of the minor enemies have been taken from The Jungle Book. The music and graphics aren’t annoying, but they won’t impress you either. Many of the stages are colorful, and the music is chirpy and has that trademark jazzy vibe that most Hudson games had. It’s an early NES game, so the graphics and sound aren’t top of the line. The overall presentation of Mickey Mousecapade is passable. This is especially important considering some of the later levels have extremely cheap enemy placement and attack patterns. Since Minnie can’t take damage, it’s possible to position her so that she does all the fighting while Mickey stays out of harms way. Again, this is a headache that players could do without.Īs bad as she is, it’s also fairly easy to abuse her. If you touch the wrong one, you’ll be forced to leave the room and find it all over again. If you’re lucky, you’ll touch the right one and have Minnie returned to you. Once the room has been located, Mickey has to touch one of several creepy statues. Minnie’s absence makes life much easier, but you can’t leave the stage until she’s been found. Some enemies even kidnap Minnie, forcing Mickey to find a hidden room in the stage to reclaim her. It’s another poor design choice that could have been easily avoided. When this happens, you have to hop down, grab Minnie, and repeat the process all over again.

It’s likely to jump on a series of platforms, only to have Minnie miss a jump right before the exit of the screen and fall underneath Mickey.
It’s also impossible to move to another screen in the level unless Minnie is right behind Mickey. What’s worse, if Minnie dies, it instantly kills Mickey, even though he’s better off without her. She can’t be hurt by monsters, but she can die to pitfalls. Minnie mirrors everything Mickey does, from movement to attacking.
It’s not game-breaking, but it’s a foolish decision no matter how it’s looked at.
Additionally, it’s possible to skip the second one, rendering Minnie completely useless. The player never has to find another star powerup after they’ve been collected, even upon death. It really makes no sense why the developers decided to force you to find these items, rather than just giving you the ability to do so from the very beginning. The first one only allows Mickey to throw a single star across the screen, while the second one enables Minnie to shoot simultaneously with Mickey. Initially, Mickey and Minnie cannot attack until they find a star item hidden in the first stage. Mickey and Minnie explore five different stages while avoiding a variety of enemies pulled from the Disney universe. Mickey Mousecapade is a very simplistic platformer. The Japanese name, Mickey Mouse, still appears on the title screen, though it’s missing its subtitle, which translates to “Adventure in the Mysterious Kingdom”. Hudson developed and published the game in Japan, while Capcom later published it in America. Mickey Mousecapade is Capcom’s first entry in the Disney NES series, though it had absolutely nothing to do with the development of the game.
