About Fantasia

In the single-player game, the player controls Mickey Mouse as the Sorcerer's Apprentice through various side-scrolling levels in an attempt to collect musical notes that somehow went missing whilst he was asleep. Each of the four levels were based on amalgamations of the segments of Fantasia, each one around the elements: water (The Sorcerer's Apprentice, Dance of the Reed Flutes and Arabian Dance), earth (The Rite of Spring), air (Russian Dance, Pastoral Symphony and Dance of the Hours) and fire (Night on Bald Mountain, Toccata and Fugue in D Minor). The player defeats various enemies by jumping on them or by collecting magical bubbles that could be used to shoot at enemies as projectiles. In each level, the player collects a certain number of hidden magical notes in order for the song to play once again.

Sega Genesis prices, all games & how to spot a fake

A handsome but frustrating Mickey Mouse platformer that critics treated harshly, and an ordinary-priced cart.

Infogrames developed Fantasia for Sega, loosely basing it on the 1940 Disney film and following the success of Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse. It came out in North America in August 1991, in Japan on 22 November 1991 and in Europe in 1991.

Mean Machines Sega's review was savage: the reviewer blamed annoying gameplay and a grotesque lack of restart points and told readers to forget about it. Its 1992 games guide called the game a keenly anticipated sequel that turned out to be a massive disappointment, with excellent graphics but poor sound and bland, frustrating gameplay. Mega magazine later placed it sixth on its list of the ten worst Mega Drive games.

“What a pleasure to report that Fantasia is not only as good as Castle, it's better—longer and tougher”
— Video Games & Computer Entertainment, September 1991

“I cannot stress how wound up Fantasia made me feel after an hour's play. … Just forget about Fantasia, for the sake of both your bank balance and your mental health.”
— Mean Machines, September 1991

“but turned out to be a massive disappointment. The graphics are excellent, but sadly naff sound and poorly designed, bland and frustrating gameplay result in a game that has very little appeal”
— MegaTech, December 1991

“This sequel to Mickey Mouse was keenly anticipated, but turned out to be a massive disappointment.”
— MegaTech, January 1992

Before you buy

Among US carts it sits about at the middle. The European cart usually costs noticeably less than the US one. The Japanese loose cart usually costs less too, but a complete Japanese copy usually costs more; the Japanese cartridge has a different shape and needs an adapter or two plastic tabs removed from a Western console's slot. A complete US copy means the case, cartridge and manual.
