![]() ![]() But of course, the Genesis is going to sound better and look better.Įnchanted Forest: Genesis (MP3 2.04 megs) Enchanted Forest: Master System (MP3 1.13 megs) Although the music where you’re in the castle before eachg level seems to have been omitted from the Game Gear rendition. No levels have different music from each other (except for the level where you are swimming in the tea cup), and even the intro has the same theme. The music and sound effects are entirely shared between the two games. Sound/Music: The songs don’t really become that unrecognizable between the two games. They’ve both got that nice Mickey Mouse cartoony feel to each game, Although the backgrounds in Castle of Illusion for Game Gear are pretty much block colors at times. ![]() Of course Genesis is going to have the better graphics and sound, but it’s a not a really big difference. Graphics: The graphics in each game don’t exactly differ that much, they both create the scene equally. I’m going to have to give this one to the Game Gear here, for giving practice players a sample of all the levels and a choice of which one to go to first. The Genesis one cuts back on levels entirely, whereas the Game Gear cuts out parts of levels instead. Also, the practice modes differ from Genesis and Game Gear games. There are no exit doors or entering from one locale to another inside levels in the Game Gear version. Also, where the levels are split up into parts on the Genesis, the Game Gear version just has one big level, and then a boss. 3, something that isn’t seen AT ALL in the Genesis version. Also, the third level in Game Gear starts off as an automatic scrolling level as seen in Super Mario Bros. ![]() There are different paths to choose from, and there’s not really one set linear path. Also, the levels go in all directions rather than just one. The first three levels are the forest, the toys, and SWEETS. The first three levels on the Game Gear, however, are designed differently. They go in a linear fashion from left to right, or up to down. The first three levels in Castle of Illusion on the Genesis are the forest, the toys, and the canyons/caves. This is one of the key differences between the two that people don’t tend to notice. Presentation: The levels also vary in design greatly between the two games. But what’s different between the two? read on! The Differences You run in, and aside from the music, which is probably the only thing both games share completely, including what levels they appear in and a few enemies, is where the similarities STOP between the two games. You choose your difficulty (hard is absent from the Game Gear version) see the old man in the castle who tells you to get the gems. Mickey and Minnie living happily in Vera City, Mizrabel comes down and swipes Minnie, Mickey runs to the Castle of Illusion. ![]() You start off the game with more or less the same intro and storyline in both games. Come into each castle with me my friend, and take a look inside for yourself. Although Castle of Illusion may look the same on the outside, what’s on the inside is MUCH different in many ways. But when you see that Game Gear title in a list, or on a store shelf, you’re probably thinking “ahh, it’s probably just a crummy 8-bit port of the same game I have for Genesis.” Au contraire my friend! Looks are deceiving. Just about everyone has played Castle of Illusion on Genesis. ![]()
