Unlike the intrusive story of Duck Tales Remastered though, CoI’s plays behind the action rather than constantly interrupting it, and the narrator shuts up when returning to levels to sweep for collectibles. And, well, that’s about it, with the added detail in this remake limited to little more than a narrator on hand to constantly add comments like “Mickey bravely continued through the castle.” This narration can get irritating after a failed jump too many on a specific section, and contributes little.

Mickey of course races to rescue her, content from the title of this game that at least he knows exactly which castle his princess will be in. Coincidentally, the Castle of Illusion remake's soundtrack was composed by Grant Kirkhope, who also composed that of Banjo-Kazooie.The premise (“plot” would be a little strong), is that Minnie gets captured by the witch Mizrabel – the Queen from Snow White working under a different name – to have her youth and beauty siphoned off. Mizrabel's scheme, in which she abducts a maiden and attempts to steal her youth, is similar to that of Gruntilda.Much like the Evil Queen, Mizrabel desires to be the fairest of them all, as she states in the remake.In the remake, her youthful form also bears resemblance to Maleficent. Mizrabel's appearance is similar to that of the Evil Queen, both in her hag and youthful forms.When Mizrabel is defeated in the remake, she shifts into a second witch form that resembles a recolored version of Witch Hazel.When Mizrabel appears before Mickey in Power of Illusion, she takes on the forms of villains who are never found in the castle.Oddly enough, the place in the Castle of Illusion where the player confronts Mizrabel is the Forbidden Mountain, Maleficent's home.This may either be by her choice or that taking on Maleficent's form may have influenced her. When she faces Mickey in Power of Illusion, Mizrabel quotes Maleficent's lines to Flora, Fauna and Merryweather and near-quotes Maleficent's lines to Prince Phillip.Mizrabel's name is or may be a pun on "miserable".Also, her dark magic allows her to fly, create curses, illusions and summon and control ghosts. She can also assume the appearances of various Disney villains, mostly Maleficent (Disney)|Maleficent. Mizrabel's shapeshifting powers are very strong and powerful, being able to turn her into almost anything. In this game, Mizrabel primarily uses the appearance of Maleficent, complete with assuming Maleficent's dragon form for the final battle, though she is seen taking on the forms of various Disney villains before settling on Maleficent's form.
