The final game in the series, it was released for the Super Famicom only in Japan. Released late in the Super NES's life cycle, it was never released overseas until its Game Boy Advance incarnation. In this game, Donald's triplet nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie play a prank on their uncle and hide in the attic in hope that he might calm down. They, however, are caught inside a magical book, which is controlled inside by King Pete. After knowing this, Mickey and Donald enter the book in order to find the duckling brothers and stop the evil Pete once more. According to the ending, Pete renounces his evil ways upon being defeated and becomes good.
Due to the American re-release's mistranslations, the triplets are not referred to by their proper names and colored outfits. (ex. Dewey who wears blue, is mistaken for Huey, who wears red.)
The game is mostly similar to Disney's Magical Quest 2, but some new features are added. One of them is the possibility to play bonus games that are hidden in secret places.
The costumes for Mickey and Donald, this time, are different from each other.
The first costume for Mickey is a knight armor that has a shield and a punch glove that can hit in different directions, but it easily sinks when it falls in the water; Donald uses a wooden barrel as an armor and a Metal Bowl for a Helmet, which can roll, uses a hammer that only attacks in an arc fashion, and can float when touching the water. Both costumes had a bar that fills over time. The strength of the attack (glove or hammer) depends on how much the bar has filled.
The second costume involves using lumberjack climbing gear; both characters use a rope to catch enemies and throw them or latch in certain columns. the only difference is that Mickey lashes the rope in a straight lateral direction while Donald throws from up to bottom.
The third and final costume is more different; Mickey is a magician that attacks with magical birds that fly straight forward. Donald uses a magic lamp that summons a genie's hand that can shoot magic or serve as a platform so that Mickey can step on it.
In the Game Boy Advance version, Mickey's eyebrows are removed during closeups because Mickey had a slightly short face change appearance in the 21st century Mickey Mouse Cartoons.

What we can’t or can
Let’s keep starring man
In the royal role.”
