The game is a vibrant homage to the rich history of Mickey Mouse, one of the most iconic characters from Disney. Spanning various epochs of Mickey’s animation career, the game features levels that are designed around classic cartoons ranging from "Steamboat Willie" (1928) to "Prince and the Pauper" (1990). Each level not only replicates the aesthetic and feel of the original cartoons but also introduces unique gameplay elements and challenges that reflect the technological and storytelling evolution in Mickey's animated adventures.

"Mickey Mania's" gameplay is notable for its variety and the precise attention to detail in mirroring the original animations.

The game was applauded for its inventive level design, fidelity to Disney’s animations, and its appeal to both younger audiences and longtime Disney fans. Despite some reports on challenging difficulty levels, "Mickey Mania" remains a fondly remembered title for its creative ambition and its respectful tribute to Mickey Mouse's enduring legacy in animation.
