One of the greatest Sega releases we've seen for a long while. Go get it as soon as possible!

JAZ: Not only are the sprites excellent, the backgrounds are also superb, with bright and colourful cartoon-style landscapes. Mickey Mouse is the best Sega game seen in a long time - make it a priority purchase.
MATT: For graphical variety, addictive nature and brilliance of gameplay, Mickey Mouse is the best Sega release for a long while. Buy it now!

JAZ: This was the first brilliant platform game to appear on Megadrive, and while it's still a great game, it now has rivals like Sonic, Donald Duck and Taz. Graphics down to 88%, sound down to 83%, playability 88%, lastability 82% and 86% overall.
RICH: This is still a brilliant platform game, but carts like Sonic, Sonic II, Asterix and Donald Duck have stretched the Master System even further. I take all the ratings down to the mid to high eighties. It's still fab, but has aged ever-so-slightly.
