Surf Swell Island is a web game, and a remake of/sequel to the earlier game of the same name. It features Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, Daisy Duck, the Great Tiki, and the Viruses.
Plot[]
Mickey and his friends return to beautiful Surf Swell Island - but instead of having a relaxing vacation, the gang is sent off on a treasure-hunting quest, running into perilous locations, computer-corrupting creatures, and ancient secrets along the way!

Behind the scenes[]
Surf Swell Island, an updated remake of/sequel to the earlier game by the same name with improved Flash graphics, was released on the main Disney website in 2002. It was later added to the Australian version of the site in 2009. The game was removed from the original site in the late 2000s or mid-2010s, and it was removed from the Australian site around 2015, making it officially defunct. Despite this, the game, unlike the one which it is a remake of, is not lost, and can still be played in full on the Internet Archive, here.
