History VideoGame / MickeyMania

** Also, in the ''Lonesome Ghosts'' level, a few rolling portraits from TheHauntedMansion appear in the background. Doubles as a MythologyGag since the original concept for the Mansion was a dark ride based on Lonesome Ghosts.

* 5: 1947's ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'', from ''FunAndFancyFree'': Mickey sells a cow for magic beans, and he, Donald and Goofy find themselves face-to-face with Willie the Giant.

* 1: 1928's ''SteamboatWillie'': Mickey's theatrical debut, and one of the earliest synchronized sound cartoons.
* 2: 1933's ''TheMadDoctor'': One of Mickey's more infamous shorts, due to its macabre subject matter. The Mad Doctor from this short has recently gone on to be in ''EpicMickey''.

* 4: 1937's ''LonesomeGhosts'': Mickey, {{Donald|Duck}} and {{Goofy}} get called out to a haunted mansion by some ghosts for some fun. One of the more popular Fab Three cartoons.

* 5.5: 1935's ''TheBandConcert'': The first (publicly available) Mickey short in living color. Considered to be among the best cartoons ever made. The level is a bonus level in the Genesis, Sega CD, and Playstation version.

* AWinnerIsYou: The game has no official ending other than showing all the enemies of the game.

*** Similarly, the music in this particular area contains a snippet of "Grim Grinning Ghosts" in the cartridge versions and [[{{Fantasia}} Toccata and Fugue in D Minor]] in the disc versions.

* BigBoosHaunt: The ''Lonesome Ghosts'' manor, 'natch.

* GoombaStomp: Mickey can defeat most (but not all) enemies this way (see below).
* HeavilyArmoredMook: The weasels' helmets prevent damage from [[GoombaStomp being jumped on]], for the most part.
** Upgraded to Heavily Armored Boss, considering that Pete can't be hit with marbles unlike the Mad Doctor, nor can you jump on him.

* MeetYourEarlyInstallmentWeirdness: Mickey does this throughout the game.

* NintendoHard: Oh yes, you better believe it.

* ShoutOut: Obvious, considering the subject matter. Nevertheless, one example stands out. The hidden Mad Doctor Mickey seems to derive not from ''The Mad Doctor'', but an earlier horror themed short, 1929's ''The Haunted House'' (although ''The Mad Doctor'' does have an instance of Mickey in an area so dark he has to light a match to see where he is, and while he is in the dark, [[ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes only his eyes can be seen]]).

* DemBones: Just like its source cartoon, ''The Mad Doctor'' has humanoid skeletons and [[NightmareFuel giant spider skeletons.]]

** One part of the third section of ''The Prince and the Pauper'' has you dropping through a shaft with the walls closing in on both sides, and you must drop through quickly to avoid getting crushed.

* ItsAllUpstairsFromHere: In the final level, you have to race up a burning tower. Leads to FridgeLogic-- if you're racing up a burning tower, isn't the fire going to catch up anyways?

* MacroZone: ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'', due to it being Willie the Giant's land. Even the beetles and spiders are huge.

* ScrewedByTheLawyers: the mere existence of the PSOne ''alone'' prevents the game from ever seeing a VirtualConsole re-release; because of this, however, the game's PS1 port is now available in the [[PlaystationNetwork Playstation Store.]]

* UpdatedReRelease: The Playstation and Sega CD ports both add a level where Mickey has to collect pencils so that the Mickeys from the previous shorts attack Pete. All versions except the SNES version also feature the bonus stage, ''The Band Concert''. ''The Mad Doctor'' had a spiral staircase section that was not on the SNES. The PS1 port added another running section, this time with Willie the Giant.

* ButtBiter: Pluto gives a bite to Pete's rear end at the beginning of the final boss fight.

* DemBones: Just like its source cartoon, ''The Mad Doctor'' has humonoid skeletons and [[NightmareFuel giant spider skeletons.]]

* SuperDrowningSkills: Mickey takes damage just from touching the water in the ''Lonesome Ghosts'' level, even when it's so shallow he can jump to the surface. It stops hurting him once it's below his head, though.

* BreatherLevel: ''Moose Hunters'' is signifigantly easier than ''the Mad Doctor'' or ''Lonesome Ghosts''.

A platform game for the SegaGenesis, SuperNintendo, Sega CD and the {{Playstation}} first released in 1994, ''Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of MickeyMouse'' (known as ''Mickey's Wild Adventure'' on the [=PS1=]) was originally conceived as a game for Mickey's 65th birthday in 1993. When that release date slipped, Sony Digi Pen dropped that idea for it, but kept the overall theme- a journey through some of Mickey's most memorable cartoons. Throughout the game, you meet up with various Mickeys of the past in order to combat [[BigBad Pete]] in the final level. Well remembered for its breathtaking animation and challenging difficulty.
