1) What's New
========================================================================

One of the great things about the Game Boy Advance is that all of the companies
are re-releasing classic Super Nintendo games for the system. One of Capcom's
classic SNES games, Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse, has gotten the
remake treatment.

The first change that comes to mind is the addition of Minnie. There is no
difference between Mickey and Minnie as far as gameplay is concerned.

There is also four new mini games that have been added so you can play against
your friends. The first one is a race on foot and the other three are contests
with the costumes to see who can collect the most coins.

Magical Quest also works with the Magical Mirror Starring Mickey Mouse for
the Gamecube. In each of the stores in Magical Quest, there is now an item
you can buy that is in the shape of a block. You can use the GBA Link to the
Gamecube to use the items in Magical Mirror. They were sold out of Links when
I rented Magical Mirror, so I'll update this guide when I find out what the
items do.

That's all that's new, onto the guide!

========================================================================
2) Story
========================================================================
Mickey and his friends are playing catch in the park.

Goofy: Here comes the pitch Mickey.

The ball bounces off of Mickey's head and Pluto chases after it.

Mickey: Watch out Pluto. Stop!

Goofy: Don't worry Mickey. I'll find Pluto for ya'.

Mickey: Worried? Who's worried? If Goofy said he'll find him, he'll
definitely...........he'll probably........Oh Pluuutooo! Heeere Pluto!
I'll find ya' pal!

Mickey then runs and slides off a cliff. This is where the game begins.

========================================================================
3) Items

6) Walkthrough
========================================================================
Stage 1: Treetops

1-1: Walk to the right and grab the first tomato. Use it to fly up to the
higher platform. On it you will find a bird. Go all the way to the right and
drop. Take care of the bug and open the door to the house. Walk to the right
and a wizard will appear.

Mickey: Hi ya! I'm lookin' for my dog, Pluto. Have you seen him?

Wizard: Yes. Your dog was captured by the evil ruler of this world, Emperor
Pete. He will never give him back to you.

Mickey: Emperor Pete!?

Wizard: He will put an evil spell on Pluto as he does all his prisoners. I
warn you, his powerful magic has never been defeated. Do not attempt to rescue
your dog. Save yourself.

Mickey: No!! Pluto's my pal. I won't give up. Can you tell me where I can
find this Emperor Pete?

Wizard: If you insist on going, follow the emperor's statues one after
another. These will lead you to his castle.

Mickey: Gosh, thanks! So long!

Wizard: I will scatter magical boxes throughout the land. They will help you
whenever you find trouble along your journey. Good luck, and beware the
Emperor's magic.

The wizard disappears allowing you to continue on. Exit the house and you
will see magic blocks fall from the sky. Hop up and climb up to the top of
the house. Walk to the left and destroy the magic blocks to find a secret
door. Enter it and you will find two birds and a Golden Box. Open the box
to find a bunch of apples. Exit through the door to the right and you will
reappear in the house. Exit again and head to the right. Take care of the
guard and grab a tomato. Fly up to the high platform and get rid of the bug.
Jump up to the Golden Box and open it to get a bunch of coins. Drop back down
and grab another tomato. Use it to fly higher and drop onto a cloud. Jump
across all of the clouds to find a platform with a Golden Box above. Jump
and open it to get coins. Now jump across the rest of the clouds. When you
reach the last one, just let it disappear and fall straight down. You'll fall
to the right of a spiky vine. Now jump across the clouds to your left and
grab a tomato. Go left a little and then head back right so the clouds are
regenerated. Jump back across. When you're back where you fell, walk right
and use the tomato to fly to the higher platform. Open the Golden Box to get
a Heart Container. Walk to the right and at the end of the vine, fall straight
down to land on some blocks. Below you is a long spiky vine, so jump across
the clouds and blocks to the right. Jump over the pit and go right to finish
this part of the level.

1-2: Jump across the blocks at the beginning and then onto the top of the
Golden Box. Fall down and grab the ring to get some coins. Run down the hill
to find a very large tomato. Jump on it and it will start to roll. This part
isn't too hard. You can jump from the tomatoes onto boxes to take a high road.
Try not to fall off onto the spikes. When you reach the third tomato, try
to stay on it. When it flies through the air, jump to the single block. Jump
up to the top of the trees and you find that you can walk on the treetops.
Walk to the right watching out for the bugs and open the Golden Box to get
some apples. Keep walking to the right and you'll see a bunch of boxes. Destroy
them to find a door that leads to the store. The only thing available to me
was the Extra Hearts. When you exit, you'll appear right to the left of the
boss.

Boss: I don't know what to call this thing. It's looks like a dog, but has
bat wings and is wearing suspenders. I don't know what they were thinking.
This fight is a joke. First, he will fly around the screen. Hop on his head
when he's low enough. When he hangs upside down and drops bats, stomp on one
and throw it back at him. I killed him in five hits, three hops and two bats.
Walk to the right and into the cave that looks like Pete.

1-3: Start by hopping on the blocks across the water. Be careful if you fall
in because if you are in for too long, you drown. In the next little puddle
are two blocks with a Golden Box overhead. Jump on a block and open it to
get a bunch of apples. On the other side is a bee. Just jump on it and continue.
Next are six frogs with a couple blocks in the middle. Jump across them and
you will come to a Golden Box. Open it to get a bunch of hearts. Continue
on and you will see a beaver swimming around below. Jump across the logs onto
the dam. Continue jumping across the logs trying not to fall when they roll.
When you reach the other side, there are a block and two stars in the water.
The stars are starfish and try to attack when you enter the water. Just jump
on the block and avoid them. There are three starfish in the next little lake
of water. Just quickly jump across. To the right is a deep lake with a block
over it. Jump on the block and avoid the bug. Jump down and further right
is a guard and a bunch of blocks. Deal with the guard and the exit cave is
to the right.

1-4: You will now have to fight a snake boss. Each time you hit it, part of
its tail comes off and you can use it as a weapon. There are two replenishing
blocks on each side. Quickly nail him in the head with a block and he will
get angry and fly at you. Try to jump on his head when he does. Keep it up
and he will start hopping around after five hits. Dodge him and hit him two
more times to score a victory.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stage 2: Dark Forest

When the level starts, you are confronted once again by the wizard.

Wizard: You have been doing very well against the emperor's magic, I see.

Mickey: Oh, hiya wizard! What are you doin' here?

Wizard: I have come to give you this magic turban.

Mickey: Gee, thanks! But what's it do?

Wizard: With this turban, you will have the power to perform magic and to
remain underwater for a very long while. Use it wisely, and be careful.

Walk to the right to put the turban on.

2-1: Start by jumping up to the first platform and then to the right. Destroy
the blocks and then take a careful jump to the sloping platform and jump to
the right. Destroy the blocks and drop into the hole to find a secret room.
Enter and open the Golden Box to get another Heart Container. When  you exit,
you will be back at the start of the level. Jump up two platforms and head
right watching out for the plant that drops spikes. Jump up to the next
platform and stomp on the leaf. Pick it up and throw it at the Golden Box
to the left of the plant. Get the coins and go back to the platform to the
right of the plant. Destroy the leaf again and walk to the right. You will
come to two plants with a platform to the right with a magic lamp on it. You
must make a tricky jump onto a plant and over to get it. Go right further
and swim through the water. On the other side, open the Golden Box to get
some coins. Now walk right and bounce up the three spring branches up to the
left. Power up a magic shot and destroy the three worms. Jump up to the next
platform and walk all the way to the right. Bounce up to the block. Jump all
the way up and go right avoiding the leaves. Now you must jump across big
leaves that are falling. Time your jumps for when they are falling towards
you. On the other side is the level exit.

2-2: Get the magic lamp and enter the tree. Shoot the wall and it will open.
Now destroy the two crabs and get the magic lamp. Swim up watching out for
the green worms. At the top, destroy the crab and swim right. Shoot another
wall, take care of the crab, and get the magic lamp to your right. Swim up,
deal with the crabs, and swim to the left. Get the magic lamp and swim up.
Watch out for the four green worms and deal with the crab at the top. Shoot
the wall and crab to the fight and exit the tree. Instead of jumping up on
the branch, jump over it and straight down to a door. Inside is the store
with more items available. You will now be teleported to the area right before
the boss, which is another
dog like creature. He shoots his grass skirt at you and jumps back and forth
to each side of the screen. Four fully powered magic shots takes him down,
I didn't even get hit. To the right is the exit.

2-3: Go right and use the branch to jump up to the higher ground. There are
totem poles that try to smash you with clubs. When they strike, jump on top
and over them. Continue and you'll find more totems. Jump on top of the second
one and jump to the platform to get a magic lamp. Further right is some totems
over the water. Time your jumps and try not to fall in. After that, the short
level is over, the exit is near.

2-4: Hop up on the branches while avoiding the worms. Towards the top, you
can get a magic lamp. Walk to the right and you will see a falling leave.
Jump on it and take it all the way down. Jump on the branch and across the
pit. Go right and jump on the blocks, it's boss time again!! You now have
to face a huge spider. Quickly get the magic lamp. Use the turban and fire
fully charged shots at his chin. Avoid him by staying on the low blocks and
dodge his webs when he fires. It took me five fully powered magic shots, and
two jumps on his chin to win.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 3: Fire Grotto

Enter the cave and a ghost will appear.

Ghost: Going down!

3-1: You will be in a small elevator with spikes at the top. When it goes
down, blocks will try to push you into the ceiling. Avoid them and shoot the
bats that appear. The first Golden Box contains coins. After a minute, ledges
appear and you need to stand over the holes. First go, right, then left, then
a small hole in the middle, and when you see the blocks, quickly destroy them
so you can get to the hole. Now quickly run right destroying any blocks in
your way and get the magic lamps. Now you must face another boss and this
one is red and shoots fireballs. When it hits the ground with its hammer,
lava shoots part of the ground up and into the spikes. Try not to be on it
when it does. I took him out with about five or six fully charged magic shots.
Head right to leave the level.

3-2: When the level starts, you see a glass casing with a firefighter uniform
inside. A block falls, busts it open, and you get your next costume. Go right
and use the hose to defeat the fire enemies. When you see a very large stone
block. Jump up and use your hose to shoot it off the ledge. Jump onto it and
then onto the blocks. You will see stone totems moving around. Jump on the
one moving up and down and then to the left to get a hydrant. Jump back on,
and when it's at the top, jump to the right on the blocks. Destroy the gold
blocks to find a secret room. Inside, open the Golden Box to get some coins.
Exit, and destroy the fire guy that appears. Jump over to the stone totem,
and then to the next area of ground. Destroy the fire guy and get the hydrant.
Jump up, get the next fire guy and run to the right. When you get to a higher
platform, you'll see several gray boxes. Shoot at the single one to move it,
and then jump up to them. You will now see totems on fire, shoot them out
and you have to quickly jump before they turn back on. In the lower left of
this part of the level is a Golden Box with a 1-up inside. Now go back to
the totems and spray the totem. Quickly get on it and go up to the next one.
Spray it and jump up to the high platform. Walk up the slope and you will
see totems moving up and down over a fire pit. Spray one and jump to the blocks.
Do the same to the next one and then over to the ground. Kill the fire guy
and get the fire hydrant. Now you have to deal with more totems over a fire
pit. Deal with them the same way until you see one that doesn't catch on fire.
Jump on it and stay on till it rises high and you see a Golden Box. Open it
to get some coins and then take the totem back down. Extinguish the last totem
and then jump over to the exit.

3-3: Start by heading right and when any falling blocks get in your way, spray
them with water to get rid of them. At the start, spray the first block, and
drop down to where you see a bunch of golden blocks. Destroy the blocks and
then use you hose to shoot the bottom stone block into it. Jump up to the
higher level and then walk right. When you get to a part where you see a tunnel
that falls and there are blocks on the bottom, spray the block to the right,
get on it, and get rid of the blocks. On the other side is a Golden Box full
of coins. Jump up to the higher level and go right. You will see the fire
ceiling go up and down. When it comes down, you need to get in the water and
duck. Put on your turban and continue right. When you find a part of the water
that goes down, you'll find a Golden Box. Open it to get another Heart
Container. Go back up and finish going to the right. Totems will catch on
fire because of the ceiling, so avoid them. At the end is a bunch of gray
blocks and a fire hydrant. Fire at the blocks to move them. You will see a
Golden Box. Open it to get a 1-up and then fall down and left to get another
hydrant. Shoot the blocks to the left and jump back up. Blow away some blocks
to the right and jump to the ground. Jump over the little volcanoes and watch
out for the fire bats that appear out of thin air. Jump over the fire pit
to the right and walk to the exit.

3-4: Walk to the right and jump on the platform. It will move to the right
and stop at a bunch of other platforms. See that big face in the middle? It's
boss time again. The platforms will rotate around the face while it shoots
fire at the platforms. Keep a steady stream of water on the face. Shoot it
enough and it will change colors and the platforms will move faster and in
a reverse direction. Keep shooting at it and the fire it shoots at you and
it should change one more time. Keep it up and the face will go down. Also,
shoot some of the platforms on fire and hydrants will appear.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 4: Pete's Peak

4-1: Hey, guess who shows up? It's Goofy! My he's been missing for a while.

Goofy: Gawrsh Mickey, I still can't find Pluto, and I've looked every which
way but up. Hey! Maybe you should look up this mountain. You can even use
these snazzy climbin' britches and this rope. Looks like you're gonna need
all the help you can get!

Now walk to Goofy to get the third and final costume. Now go to the right
and use the hook to climb up to the high ledge. Watch out for the egg and
hop up. Walk to the right and take care of the two eggs. Swing across the
gap and use your hook to steal the guards shield. Now grab the block and knock
him out. Trick the eggs on the platform above to run off and then use your
hook to climb up. Swing to the right and continue to the gray blocks. Use
your hook to climb up to the next ones and to the high platform. Dodge the
eggs and use your hook to grab the flying blocks. Jump up and grab the high
level with your hook. Go to the left and grab onto the floating blocks to
the left. Jump over to the block platform and open the Golden Box to get a
1-up. Swing back over and use your hook to climb all the way to the top. Deal
with the guard and walk all the way right. Jump, hook the platform, and swing
to the next one. Jump over to the non moving platform, hook the circle, and
swing to the exit.

4-2: You see that pit at the beginning? Jump on in =). Use your hook to keep
swinging across the bottom and watch out for gusts of wind. You should reach
a platform with blocks and two Golden Boxes. One has coins, the other, a Heart
Container. Now, swing the rest of the way across making sure you don't get
knocked down by the wind. Make sure you're hooked to something and you'll
swing right through it. At the end, swing to the flying blocks. Jump to the
one going up and down, and then to the next one. Jump up and hook the ground
and climb up to the exit.

4-3: Jump to the blocks and then to the nests. IT'S BOSS TIME!!!!! When you
see the screen start to rumble, quickly hook one of the circles. The easiest
way to defeat him is to use your hooks to grab his eggs and hit him with them.
If he drops one, little birds will walk back and forth on the nest, so try
to get the eggs first. First, hook yourself to stop from getting blown away.
Now the bird will come down in the middle. Steal his egg and hit him. Now
hook yourself again. He now comes down on the left, the right, and then the
middle. He will now change colors. Hook yourself again. Now he drops left,
and then center. If you hit him each time, he falls with this hit.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 5: Snowy Valley

5-1: Get the fire hydrant and change into your firefighter costume. There
are pink flowers in this level that will bounce you away from them if you
run into them, so watch out. Fight off the furballs until you see a couple
green gems. Spray your hose at them to make an ice platform. Make one and
jump up to the higher platforms. Open the Golden Box to get some coins. Now
drop back down and climb up the platforms to your right. At the top is a fire
hydrant. Go right and you will see a bunch of gems. Take care of the furballs
and if you have some skill, use the gems to climb up to a Golden Box with
a 1-up inside. You will see a leaf. If you jump in it will slide across the
snow. Instead, use the gem to make a platform and open the Golden Box to get
some grapes. Deal with the furballs and keep heading to the right. Watch out
for the pink flowers and continue on. Jump into the leaf and jump out when
it hits the flower. Now go to the bottom and keep running to the right jumping
from platform to platform. You should reach the end shortly.

5-2: You will need to run as fast as you can from the start and jump over
to the leaf. Ride it and jump to the next one. When you see the flower, jump
over it and then into the next leaf. When you see the platforms going up,
jump out and climb up. Watch out for the pink flowers and jump into the leaf
on the top. Ride it down and jump to the next one. Ride it and jump to the
last one. Ride it until you see the exit cave and jump to it.

5-3: Get the fire hydrant and go to the right. It's boss time again. The boss
screen is a ramp with flat ground on each side. The boss is a skating
dog/walrus. The best costume to use is the turban. Fully power your shots
and hit him in the head. Jump over the snowballs and try to watch where he
will go so you can hit him on the head. About ten hits should do it here.

------------------------------------------------------------------------
Level 6: Pete's Castle

Mickey walks up to the castle.

Mickey: Gee. S-sure is d-d-dark in there. Maybe this isn't the emperor's
castle after all...

Pluto: Arf arf.

Mickey: Why, that's Pluto barking! This must be Emperor Pete's castle. I'll
save ya Pluto-don't worry! (I'm doin' enough worryin' for the both of us...)

The door to the castle rises.

6-1: See that shadow in the water? It's a fish. Avoid it at all costs because
if it bites you, it's instant death. Run across the platform avoiding it and
jump over. Deal with the shield guard and open the Golden Box to get some
grapes. Watch out for the guard with the bow and arrows and use your hiking
gear to climb up to him. Defeat him and walk right to see another arrow guard.
Climb up and deal with him the same way and open the Golden Box to get some
hearts. Keep going right until you see the fire hydrant. Get it and jump to
the right watching out for the helmet heads. Keep going until you get to solid
ground. Walk further right and jump across the gray blocks and the circle
platforms. Do not jump on them holding a block or you will fall through. The
same will happen if you stand on it too long. At the far right is a Golden
Box with coins inside. Now put your turban on and jump into the water while
avoiding the fish and swim down and left to find a bunch of blocks. Destroy
them to find a door to the store. When you leave, switch to your hiking gear
and climb up to the higher ground while avoiding the fish. Now go back to
where you saw the arrow blocks and grab one. Go to the right until you get
to the platform before the gray blocks and let the arrow block go. Jump on
it and it will rise. Jump to the ground high in the air and go right to find
the exit.

6-2: Start this level by putting on the turban and shooting the magic carpet
with magic to open it. You must fly on the carpet downwards while avoiding
the spikes and blocks. If you fall try to land on a block because there is
usually another carpet nearby. This level is pretty short and the exit is
at the bottom.

6-3: Run past the arrow blocks and the torches. To the far right is a cannon
guard. Duck under his shot and jump on him. Climb up and dodge more of the
cannon guards. If you need to get a better jump, use your hose to move the
gray blocks closer. At the top are two cannon guards, so be careful. At the
top, use your hose to shoot the stone blocks so you can ride them higher.
There are a lot of exits here. Most of them are minibosses from earlier. The
one I got to is very high. Get up so you can jump on top of the exit to the
far right but don't. Wait for the stone block to come down and hit it with
your hose. Now jump over and get on it. At the top jump on the guard and go
left to the two exits. Take the left one to battle Emperor Pete. Pete will
throw everything at you. When he makes bolts appear one of these will happen:
blocks will come out of the right wall, the torches will come alive, or a
block will come out of each side and bounce across the room. Keep firing fully
powered magic shots until he turns red. If you get low on energy, shoot the
torches and more ammo will appear. When red, instead of these attacks, Pete
will make fire shoot out of the ground. Avoid it and keep firing. It shouldn't
take too many hits.

AND NOW, ENJOY THE ENDING!!!!!!!!
