Part four of a complete playthrough of Adventures in the Magic Kingdom for the NES by Capcom. Adventures in the Magic Kingdom is an early mini-game collection game in which the player must aid Mickey and friends by obtaining 6 silver keys to unlock the gates to the castle and release the parade. To get each key, the player must visit five of the most popular rides in the park and participate in a minigame (or platforming level) based upon the ride. The sixth key is obtained by answering Disney trivia asked by the various visitors in the park.

The Haunted Mansion, in New Orleans Square, is the first of the two standard platform stages in the game. The level begins in a graveyard outside Gracey Manor reminiscent of Capcom's own Ghosts and Goblins game. Once inside the mansion, the player must leap from chandeliers and floating chairs to reach the stage's end boss (and the game's only boss fight). The B Button tosses candle projectiles which are the weapon for this stage, additional ammunition can be found scattered throughout the stage.

The level also features a couple of Easter Eggs as well. While walking through the first part of the mansion's interior, one of the mirrors displays a ghost following you instead of your own reflection. There is also a minot graphical mistake in this section as your reflection can jump slightly above the top boundary of the mirror. The other Easter Egg is found right at the beginnng of the level, in which if the player is quick enough to jump into the ghost at the beginning of the level, the level will end with a unique "death" screen featuring a larger image of the ghost asking the player to try again, but does not actually cost the player a life.
