Source-derived summary

Land of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse, known in Japan as Mickey Mouse no Mahō no Crystal (ミッキーマウスの魔法のクリスタル), is a 1993 platform game developed and published by Sega for the Game Gear and Master System.

Gameplay

Land of Illusion is a side-scrolling platform game, with the player traversing through 14 levels, trying to retrieve the crystal to the villagers. Mickey can attack his enemies by picking up an item (such as a stone block) and throwing it at his enemies, or he can jump at them in a sitting pose. The stages consist of the Forest, Lake, Blacksmith's Castle, Castle Ruins, Tiny Cavern, Flower Field, Toy Workshop, Palace Ruins, Craggy Cliff, Desert, Good Princess's Castle, Sand Castle, Island, and the Phantom's Castle.

Throughout the game, the player can pick up items that imbue Mickey with new abilities, such as a rope for climbing up walls or a potion that can make Mickey shrink in size. Furthermore, the player can then return to previous levels and utilize these items to gain access to previously inaccessible areas.

Mickey begins the game with two power stars indicating how many hits he can take by enemies. Power stars can be collected throughout the game to give Mickey more health to a maximum of 5. However, there is one power star on every level making 14 in total. Each star collected after collecting 5 gives full health and an extra try.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

“Land of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse” is worth following because a concise public description often conceals a longer documentary argument. Here, Land, Illusion and Starring provides the most credible route into that argument.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Jul 13, 2026.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
