Play Adventures in the Magic Kingdom Online

So Adventures in the Magic Kingdom on NES is this weird little gem where Mickey's parade is about to start, but of course, someone misplaced all six keys to the castle. Typical. You've gotta run around Disneyland's attractions playing these totally different mini-games to find them.

The Haunted Mansion part is actually kinda creepy for an 8-bit game – you're tossing candles at ghosts while jumping over floating chairs. Big Thunder Mountain has you frantically switching minecart tracks before you crash. Pirates of the Caribbean? That's all about barrel-rolling pirates like some weird Donkey Kong tribute. Autopia's this janky racing bit where cars come at you sideways, Space Mountain makes you memorize rollercoaster turns (I crashed so many times), and then there's this random Disney trivia quiz that'll make you realize how little you actually know about 1930s cartoons.

It's charmingly janky – the controls are stiff by today's standards, but there's something fun about how each area feels like a completely different game. Just don't expect the trivia questions to be fair if you weren't alive during Walt's era.
