Mickey Mousecapade (Mickey Mouse in Japan) is a Nintendo game where the Mickey Mouse character travels through the Fun House, the Ocean, the Forest, the Pirate Ship, and the Castle. Minnie Mouse follows the character around, and occasionally gets kidnapped. Various villains from Disney cartoons make an appearance as bosses. It was developed and published by Hudson Soft in Japan and published by Capcom in the United States.

The game was Capcom's first venture into what became a successful trademark of making Nintendo games based on popular Disney characters. Since Capcom did not actually develop this game, it lacks the overall quality of later Capcom/Disney titles such as DuckTales. The level design is rather lackluster and the game contains several sprites lifted from other Hudson Soft games.

Mickey Mousecapade is also noteworthy for its rather dubious choice to equip Mickey and Minnie with throwing stars. This game is sometimes incorrectly identified as Mickey Mousecapades. The title screen of the US version refers to the game by its Japanese title, which is simply Mickey Mouse.

According to the US instruction manual, the plot is that Mickey and Minnie are trying to rescue a "mystery friend", who turns out to be Alice from Alice in Wonderland. In the Japanese version, Alice is prominently featured on the box art. Also, in addition to Alice, numerous other Disney characters make appearances as well, including, but not limited to:

*Peg-Leg Pete
*The brooms from Fantasia.
*Tick-Tock, the crocodile from Peter Pan.
*Kaa, the python from The Jungle Book.
*Bears from Disney's Country Bear Jamboree theme park attraction.
*Maleficent from Sleeping Beauty

Oddly enough, the Cheshire Cat does not appear in the game, even though he is on the Japanese box art.
