Disney's Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse is a point-and-click adventure game that was originally going to be a platformer when it was announced at Nintendo SpaceWorld 2001. In the end, it was completely different to what was first announced.

One night, a mischievous ghost traps Mickey's spirit in a trippy mansion/castle, complete with magic portals and a dungeon! Only by gathering mirror shards will Mickey be able to return to the Twilight Realm of his world.
