A remake of the 1990 original, Castle of Illusion was full of colour and whimsy. Each set of levels were split into three parts and unlocked through collecting diamonds, with varying themes and bosses. Everything was visually stunning and the controls were responsive; it felt great to move through levels, the platforming satisfying if a little challenging for the inexperienced (me). There were even a few cute outfits for Mickey, and I do like myself some outfits.

I’m pretty indifferent to anything Disney these days, but I can’t deny it played a big part in my childhood. It's not the powerhouse it used to be and obviously isn't a good company, but by goodness there's still a spark of magic.
