Gameplay[edit]

The player takes the role of either Mickey Mouse or his girlfriend Minnie.[3] On the way to deliver a present, Pete came along and stole it.[3] Gameplay wise, it is similar to Capcom's previous Disney game, Chip 'n Dale Rescue Rangers, and similar to the said game, the player can destroy enemies with throwing them boxes or blocks.

There are items that grant temporary invincibility along with a 1-up and boosts to the player's health.[3] Players have to navigate a lake, the summit of a mountain, through a vast forest, and even stroll through the shopping center while avoiding insects, small mammals, and snowballs.[3] All of these enemies appear in their appropriate levels (i.e., no ghosts in the town level, no flying squirrels in the haunted house level.[4]

Reception[edit]

Nintendo Power magazine gave the game a 68% in their March 1991 issue.[3]
