ALAKAZAM!
-------------------
Mickey Mouse and Donald Duck were standing on the stage of a performance hall, practicing their magic act for a big magic show.
"I don't know..." Donald was saying. "We need some new magic. Something flashy.
"Hmm..." Mickey thought for a moment, then brightened. "Hey, Donald, what about this?" Mickey waved his wand, and POW! a flash and a huge puff of smoke burst from his magic hat. "That should end our performance with a bang, right, Donald? Donald? Are you all right?
In the middle of a pile of background scenery, Mickey saw something move. Donald got up from where he had fallen, and pushed away a fake tree. "That was flashy, all right," he grumbled.

Donald turned around to see an unusual wooden box, carved to look like a face with a velvet curtain in its mouth. "A magic box! Oh, boy! This would be perfect for our act!"
But Mickey noticed something unusual - an ominous glow behind the curtain. "Uh, i don't know if that's such a good idea..."
"Aw c'mon, what are you afraid off?" Donald hopped into the box, and POOF! he was gone!
"Donald?" Mickey pulled the curtain aside. "Where are you?" He stepped into the box, and POOF! Mickey vanished as well!

As Mickey and Donald fell through darkness, an evil, booming laugh echoed all around them. "Welcome to my World of Magic!" a voice said mockingly . "You may be good magicians in your world, but you still have a lot to learn! If you don't learn quickly, you'll never leave this place! I can show you the way to go home, but only if you find me and defeat me in a magic duel. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!"
The two would - be magicians are transported to a strange, fantastic world where dreams are reality, and the unexpected is sure to happen! Only magic will protect them in times of danger. Will they find the way home?
Can you help them?

YOUR ADVENTURE BEGINS
------------------------------------------

Fierce Soldiers Ants rush you with their spears, and Leaf Creatures flutter in your path. Press Button B (Magic) to pass your Magic Cape over your attackers and make the danger disappear. Sometimes it takes more than one pass with your cape, so you'd better be quick!

IT TAKES TEAMWORK!
------------------------------------
You and a friend, as Mickey and Donald, can explore the World of Illusion together in a special adventure! There are also certain items that you will only be able to reach by helping each other. Be sure to share your goodies and watch out for each other - only by working together will you be able to find the way home.
18
The two of you start with 6 Tries that you share. Each time a character's Health Points run out, or he takes a fall, one Try is deducted from the counter. When there is one Try remaining, the computer will ask the surviving player if he would like to continue with a one-player game, or share the final Try. Make your selection with the D-Button, and press any button to choose.
You won't be able to go far without your partner, and when a character loses a Try, and there are Tries remaining; the other character will have to touch him to revive him.
19
You can let your partner bounce you to high places or ...
...balance your partner on your shoulders so he can jump up.
Walk to the edge, the press Button A (Run Button) to lower him a line.
Mickey might be able to crawl through small places more easily than Donald. If Donald gets stuck, have Mickey go through the tight spot first. Then have Donald give it a try. As Donald is squeezing, walk up to him and press Button A (Run Button), to pull him through.
Operate a Mining Cart by pressing the D-Button DOWN. Timing is very important, and you may need to practice.
20
As Mickey and Donald set out in search of powerful Magic and the way home, they'll pass through five Stages. Mickey's adventure will be a little different than Donald's.
At the end of each Stage, the master of that realm will challenge you to a duel. If you win, you'll receive a treasure chest whose contents will help you along in future Stages. Pay attention to the screens that follow, and remember their instructions: you'll need the new knowledge to proceed.

25
STAGE 5 : THE MAGIC BOX
------------------------------------------
You've found the home of the Magic Master, and the biggest challenge of all! It will take special Magic and wise choices to make your way through the mazes that lead to the Magic Master and your final duel. Will you beat him and make it back home in time for your big magic show?

27

ADVICE FROM THE MASTER
---------------------------------------------
Explore! There are lots of goodies hidden in unexpected places!
When you are riding the Magic Carpet, floating in a Bubble or riding on a Cork, you won't be able to use your Magic, so be sure to dodge those enemies that try to attack you.
Don't stay in one place for too long, especially when walking on clouds or spider webs.
Watch the demonstration at the beginning of the game for extra hints on how to play.
