Between Castle of Illusion starring Mickey Mouse and Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion[]
The castle itself was once in the Toon World but due to being forgotten, it was sent into the Wasteland. Mizrabel was not happy about this and began to scheme a way out of the Wasteland, where she first kidnaps several characters from the Toon World, by stealing the Hearts from said characters to imprison them in Wasteland.
In Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion[]

The castle serves as the main location for the game. Mickey's goal in the game is to save all the kidnapped characters, find Minnie and stop Mizrabel from her wicked plan to escape.
Mickey travels through illusion versions of Neverland, Atlantica and Agrabah, all while rescuing the kidnapped Disney characters, ultimately stopping Mizrabel.
Using the Toon's Heart power, all the normal Toons are sent back home, though the castle begins to fall apart, but Mickey manages to get home, after saying goodbye to Oswald once more. When Mickey returns home, he plans to tell Minnie about what happened, thinking she doesn't remember what occurred. Minnie, however, was still at home after Mickey had left for the adventure, leaving him shocked at the idea that Minnie herself had been nothing more than an illusion in the castle.
