* RemadeAndImproved: As classic as the original Genesis game is. Most consider the 2013 remake to be superior, due to the slightly expanded campaign and having more elaborate levels and bosses compared to the original game.

* ItsShortSoItSucks: The most common complaint about the game is how short it is, even by the standards of the time, as a competent player can easily complete it in around 30 minutes to an hour if they know what they're doing. The HD remake, although remake does make the adventure a bit longer, but it also receives this could apply to criticism as well, as the original as well.story mode can be completed in about two hours, with 100% completion taking five, depending on one's abilities.

* SugarWiki/NoProblemWithLicensedGames: One of the most beloved licensed UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis platformers, and considered one of the best Disney tie-in platformers. Sega notably gave it a promotional highlight via their "Genesis Does" ad campaign.

* ThatOneBoss: The Jack-in-the-Box in the remake takes much longer to take out than any other boss prior to the final boss, and has the widest variety of attack moves.
** Said final boss, Mizrabel, is an absolute nightmare, as it's a six-phase battle where all of her attacks require very fast reflexes to avoid, and you need to hold on to as much of your health lest you die and are required to start all over again with the unskippable cutscene that precedes the battle.

* PanderingToTheBase: The HD remake, seemingly confirmed by [[http://www.siliconera.com/2013/07/01/sega-on-maintaining-the-challenge-of-castle-of-illusion-hd/ this Siliconera article]]. It even goes on to brag about how hard it will be and how "it doesn't feel like a kid's game"[[note]]Even though it's technically supposed to be either way.[[/note]]. What's more, it mentions that it won't have an easy mode, despite the fact that there is one in the original version. Regardless, the game itself is nowhere near NintendoHard (except for perhaps the final boss).

** Needing a Rainbow Bridge to reach the tower where the villain is holding a fair maiden captive was utilized in this game, but [[VideoGame/TheLegendOfZeldaOcarinaOfTime not for the last time.]]

** The Rainbow Gems you collect after you beat each boss are eerily similar in concept, not to mention appearance, to a more famous set of magical jewels from [[Franchise/SonicTheHedgehog another iconic Sega Genesis series]] that came out after shortly after this game's release.

* MostAnnoyingSound:
** The squeak noise when Mickey takes damage.
** In the remake, all the A enemies in level 4 will endlessly shout out "A!". It's even their death cry.
