This article has a talk page!Mickey and Minnie investigate a circus mystery. Well, to be clear, only one of the six stages takes place in a circus. And there isn't really much of a mystery. Mickey and Minnie, though? They're definitely in the game.
Anti-Piracy#
Like many of Capcom's later SNES games, this game contains a simple anti-piracy check. On bootup, the game will attempt to write to SRAM at address $306000 and if the write was successful, the game jumps to an infinite loop and thus hangs on a black screen. An original cartridge does not contain any SRAM so the write will do nothing, but cartridge copiers contain a large amount of SRAM, which triggers the anti-piracy check.
