It may have similarities but it's not the same style of gameplay!

Play both of them and see

From what I can see, this is 80% identical. It's still silly to dub this as some long lost Dizzy adventure.

If you ask me, this game never got released because the Oliver Twins left behind the Amiga at the time to focus on consoles, believing they could make their fortune there but in reality, Dizzy was too slow a game for consoles so it kinda failed. After that, they called Dizzy quits and this adventure was most likely a remnant of their previous work which then got made into Magicland Dizzy for the collection they were selling at the time. Seems like Wonderland was the original game they were going for so it's basically Magicland with a few extra screens and characters. Not a "forgotten game" by any stretch of the imagination.
