The original was a Sega Genesis title.  I remember picking it up
thinking the Mickey Mouse theme would pretty much make it impossible
for me to enjoy, but I was very wrong, it was an excellent and
addictive platformer with great production values throughout.  

I seem to remember it getting spectacular reviews, and I often hear it
come up as one of the top handful of titles people remember when they
think about their old Genesis systems.  It was up there with Sonic the
Hedgehog, and Mario on Nintendo.
