Inside Mickey's Ultimate Challenge

What it is

Mickey's Ultimate Challenge is a puzzle game for the Super NES, Game Boy, Genesis/Mega Drive, Sega Master System, and Game Gear. The Master System version, released in 1998, was the last game ever released for that console. All other versions were released in 1994. It was rated for all ages, aimed toward younger children, and was designed for only one player. Players move Mickey through the game by making him walk, jump, and go through doors. There are five major challenges, a segue, and a final challenge. It has met with mixed reviews from gaming magazines. It is also the first title developed by WayForward Technologies, under the name Designer Software.
