One of my sisters got this game for her birthday. I was forced to watch her play it for a few hours (it was her birthday after all) before I could give it a go. It has great music and is one of the best platformers on the system in my opinion.
The difficulty level progressively gets harder and without cheating it is a reasonable challenge. Give it a go!

Castle of Illusion - Starring Mickey Mouse Trivia
Are emulators like RetroCopy breaking the law?
No! The cold hard facts are there are numerous laws in place that make emulators 100% legal - as they should be! In the past a few companies have unsuccessfully threatened and taken other companies that have made emulators to court , trying to bully them out of their way. They have always lost because it is illegal to force a monopoly.
The only gray area in regards to emulators are when people pirate the games to use in emulators.
However in this day and age you can cheaply and easily buy the original games online (EBAY) or at markets and legally use them in emulators.
Not only that but there are also plenty of 100% free software/games (homebrew) available.
Some companies may want you to believe you have to keep buying the same game over and over again to legally play it but this is not true. These companies are laughing all the way to the bank as they slug their loyal fans multiple times for the exact same product.
How do I play this game in RetroCopy?
If you already own the original cartridge/disk/etc then you can look to Download Castle of Illusion - Starring Mickey Mouse
If you purchase it on Wii Virtual Console (VC) or XBOX Live Arcade (XBLA) you can still legally download it. The reason for this is due to laws which allow you to backup software that you purchase.
Is this game available on Wii Virtual Console?
If you want to play classic games you should choose the most accurate emulator available to ensure you get an authentic experience.
