Mickey's Circus is a Classic Kingdom mini-game in Kingdom Hearts III. In this game, Sora passes balls to a seal.

Game Help[edit]

Bounce the balls over to the seal!

Use Square and Circle to adjust the angle of your pole and change the direction the balls bounce.

The seal will change positions, so stay on your toes.
(Wheel? Whatever.)

Mechanics[edit]

The objective of this mini-game is to hit the balls in the direction of the seal. The "CONTROLLER" buttons can be used to move Sora left and right, and the "ACTION" buttons to change the angle of the pole he is holding.

At the start of the game, Mickey will throw a ball from the upper-right corner. Sora has to hit the ball towards the seal by moving and angling the pole. When the ball reaches the seal, it will hit it back.

Occassionally, Donald will ride his unicycle over a tightrope, juggling a ball. Hitting Donald with the ball causes Donald's ball to join the game.

Each time the seal hits the ball, the score increases by 30. If Donald is hit by the ball, the score increases by 20. When enough points are obtained, the stage ends and the next one starts, while keeping the current score.

In later stages, Mickey will throw more than one ball at the start, and multiple seals may appear.

The game ends when all balls touch the ground.

Origin[edit]

Mickey's Circus is based on the Mickey Mouse short of the same name from 1936. In the short, Mickey hosts a circus. During the performance, Donald and three seals juggle. Later, Donald ends up on a bicycle on a tightrope, while Mickey holds a pole.
