[TAS] NES Mickey Mouse 3: Yume Fuusen by mz in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/1086M
TAS originally published on 2008-04-03
Released as part of the mostly Game Boy Mickey Mouse series, Mickey Mouse III: Dream Balloon was released in September 1992 by Kemco in Japan for the Famicom. Due to copyright issues it was changed into Kid Klown in Night Mayor World ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kid_Klo... ) for its US NES 1993 release. In this run, Mickey uses balloons as weapons, as platforms, and as floatation devices to make quick work of the stages.

I didn't know that Kemco started out in the NES era these guys were behind on my favorite SNES racing game Top Gear.

Mickey Mouse III is the only Mickey Mouse Kemco game with a TAS, but it was not released on the Game Boy. It was also considered part of the Crazy Castle series, which had eight entries. Mickey Mouse and its sequel were released for the Game Boy, and were Bugs Bunny games internationally, but retained Mickey Mouse II with Mickey in Europe titled simply as "Mickey Mouse", and Mickey Mouse IV and V didn't feature Bugs Bunny internationally at all, but we got our own Crazy Castle 3 and 4 which featured Bugs Bunny entirely, but Crazy Castle 5 featured Woody Woodpecker. This game was nothing like Crazy Castle, instead being similar to other non-Kemco Famicom games, like Rockman 2-4 and Super Mario Bros. 3.
The similarities are perfectly replicated in Mickey Mouse III. The swirl lasers from Stage 4 are very similar to the lasers from Quick Man's stage in Rockman 2. The boss graveyard from the final stage is similar, but the stage is like the Wily Stages from Rockman 3. The only way to pass the stage is to defeat the boss like the Rockman games. Another similarity from the Rockman games is a starting weapon, but this time it is a balloon which not only can damage enemies, but is also very similar to Rush Coil from Rockman 3, and can also be used as a tool to slow down your fall. The animated blocks from Stage 2 is similar to the disappearing blocks from the Rockman games. Another similarity is that you cannot exit from the end credits like in Rockman 3 and 4, meaning that you have to reset the game to start again. There is also a password system as well, but it is different from what Rockman had. The only similarity to Rockman 4 is using enemies as platforms, which is immediately apparent in Stage 5. There are also similarities where you cannot jump on enemies, as well as minibosses. The chests in this game are so similar to the ?-Cans from Rockman 3.
Similarities from Super Mario Bros. 3 include running using the B button, and crouching, but unfortunately you cannot slide with it. Another similarity is brick breaking, but the difference is that it is a rock, and it requires the balloon to be broken. The lightning power up from Mickey Mouse III is similar to the Starman from the Mario games. There are also bonus games from mushroom houses in Mario 3, but here the bonus game is all about shooting for power ups that move left and right, and appear in top and bottom sections, and you only get chances from how many "Chips" you have, and you must to shoot the balloons to get a powerup. The "Chips" collectibles are similar to coins from Mario, but here they are for the amount of chances from bonus games.
The similarity from Rockman 2, Rockman 3 and the Mario games is the 1-UP limit, and the maximum amount of lives in 99.
There is only one similarity from neither a Rockman nor a Mario game, which is the health system. You can obtain hearts to increase the maximum amount of lives you have, but taking damage is similar to what Rockman had.

Ah yes, strawberries, my favorite flavor of chips

Megamouse 3, Balloonman edition
(Seriously, the music, stages, stage map, final boss, everything is so megamanish... and is awesome!)

[@JuanCruz-cb1lf]

I was thinking the same. I didn't check, but was this made by Capcom? If so, then it makes sense.

[@hectorh6844]

a sequel of Castle of Illusion

[@adam1984pl]

Ending was like Final Fantasy 8 ballroom scene .

[@Venomex]

*irate* Mickey Mouse…

[@NunofYerbizness]

I'd doubt it, but would this TAS be compatible with both Kid Klown and its unreleased localization as "Mickey Mouse: Dream Balloon", without desync issues?

[@cantaloupeme]

Nope, the last stage in Kid Klown, has a shortcut that isn't in the Famicom version.

[@wohdinhel]

why is the first boss literally sonic the hedgehog

[@JohnDoe-001]

ﾊﾊｯ!

[@tomasuzateguiorchard5190]

Why? An angler fish in a Toy store? Why?

[@lunar-exe433]

Aw damn a Kemco game. You probably have to pay a premium to fill out the rest of the heart bar😑

[@SharkySSharkington]

I remember how this game would slow down to a crawl at certain times. Not very optimised. :D Was an okay game though.

[@stranger271271]
