* NintendoHard: The game is [[SurpriseDifficulty surprisingly difficult to play]], even on easy.

* AWinnerIsYou: The game has no official ending other than showing all the enemies of the game...It did, however, tease of an [[WesternAnimation/RunawayBrain upcoming theatrical Mickey cartoon]], and at the time of game's release, [[{{Advertising}} it wasn't lying]], as Runaway Brain would be released a year the game's release.

* AdvancingWallOfDoom: The giant spider in ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'', which is the only enemy in the game that will outright kill you on contact even if you have full health. Subverted in that you can't actually run away from it -- you have to jump on a ladybug and ride it away. [[GuideDangIt Made difficult thanks to the ladybug looking like an enemy.]]
** The last section of ''Moose Hunters'' has you running away from the moose in a run-towards-the-screen section. The UsefulNotes/PlayStation port added a similar section with Willie the Giant.

A platform game developed by Creator/TravellersTales, published by Creator/SonyImagesoft and released for the UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis, UsefulNotes/SuperNES, UsefulNotes/SegaCD and the UsefulNotes/{{PlayStation}}, ''Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of WesternAnimation/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.

* 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?

* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: Featured in every version of the game with the sole exception of the Sega Genesis version, where Mickey stares at his watch for a few seconds or read a newspaper before the start of each level. This feature is infamous on the SNES version, as unlike the Sega cd and the [=PlayStation=] versions, who had the excuse of using a cd to read the levels, the snes version uses a cartridge similar to the Sega genesis version, who don't feature these.

* EscortMission: Inverted in ''Moose Hunters'', where Pluto follows you. Instead of you protecting him, however, he points out the oncoming moose.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfLoading: Despite being on a cartridge, the SNES version has screens showing Mickey staring at his watch for a few seconds before the start of each level. However, this does not happen in the Genesis version.

* BeanstalkParody: The fifth level, ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'', is based on [[WesternAnimation/FunAndFancyFree the animated short of the same name from 1947]]. Mickey travels up the beanstalk and into Willie the Giant's Castle, where [[MeetYourEarlyInstallmentWeirdness he meets his 1947 counterpart at the end of the stage]] (followed by, in the case of the PlayStation version, a chase sequence with Willie).

* 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, as the last level of ''Mickey and the Beanstalk''.

* MercyMode: If you're playing either the Genesis version or the Sega CD version, the gurney segment from ''The Mad Doctor'' can be skipped if you fail on your second-to-last life. Averted in the [=SNES=] version and ''Mickey's Wild Adventure''.

Mickey travels up the beanstalk and into Willie the Giant's Castle, where [[MeetYourEarlyInstallmentWeirdness he meets his 1947 counterpart at the end of the stage]].

* AllianceOfAlternates: The Sega CD and PlayStation versions feature an additional battle against Pete, in which the alternate forms of Mickey that the present Mickey has met all take turns attacking Pete in some fashion or another.

* NintendoHard: The game is [[SurpriseDifficulty suprisingly difficult to play]], even on easy.

* AdvancingWallOfDoom: The giant spider in ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'', which is the only enemy in the game that will outright kill you on contact even if you have full health. Subverted in that you can't actually run away from it-- you have to jump on a ladybug and ride it away. [[GuideDangIt Made difficult thanks to the ladybug looking like an enemy.]]

* ChandelierSwing: Player has to gain momentum on these by swinging them side to side.
* DemBones: Just like its source cartoon, ''The Mad Doctor'' has humanoid skeletons and giant spider skeletons.

* EasyModeMockery: The [=PS1=] version ends gameplay after Mickey and The Beanstalk with a message telling the player to play on a higher difficulty to see the full game.

* 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.

* MinecartMadness: The gurney section in ''the Mad Doctor'', wherein you ride a gurney while avoiding acid pits and buzz saws.

* VineSwing: ''The Mad Doctor'' and ''The Prince and the Pauper'' feature sections where the player has to use swinging chains for transport. In the case of latter, Mickey even lets out a Franchise/{{Tarzan}} yell.

* DevelopersForesight: The Japanese version normally doesn't work in a non-Japanese console but if you do run it on a non-Japanese system and then managed to set the region of the system to Japan ''while'' the game's running (easier to do in an emulator), then the game will say ''"Oh...This machine has somehow become an NTSC Mega Drive System."''

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

* 4: 1937's ''Disney/LonesomeGhosts'': Mickey, WesternAnimation/{{Donald|Duck}} and WesternAnimation/{{Goofy}} get called out to a haunted mansion by some ghosts for some fun. One of the more popular Fab Three cartoons.
* 5: 1947's ''Mickey and the Beanstalk'', from ''Disney/FunAndFancyFree'': Mickey sells a cow for magic beans, and he, Donald and Goofy find themselves face-to-face with Willie the Giant.

* 6: 1990's ''Disney/ThePrinceAndThePauper'': The final cartoon of the game. It is by far the longest cartoon in the game- both in terms of level length and length of source material.
