Disney's Aladdin

Disney's Aladdin for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) was released in 1993 and was developed by Capcom - not to be confused with the significantly different version of the same name for the Sega Mega Drive. Based on the Disney animated film of the same name, Disney's Aladdin takes players on an adventure full of magic, music and action in the colorful world of Agrabah.

In Disney's Aladdin, you take on the role of Aladdin, a clever street urchin who wants to win the heart of Princess Jasmine - and defeat the evil wizard Jafar - with the help of the flying carpet, his monkey Abu and, of course, the djinn. You follow the plot of the movie very closely: from the alleyways of Agrabah to the Cave of Wonders and the final battle in the palace.

In terms of gameplay, Disney's Aladdin is a classic 2D jump 'n' run with precise controls and a varied level design. Aladdin can jump, hold on to ledges, throw apples at enemies and dodge enemies with a header or bypass them directly with acrobatic movements. The levels are dynamically designed, often with interactive elements and small puzzles that provide variety.

Graphically, Disney's Aladdin impresses with detailed sprites, smooth animations and a style that is closely based on the look of the film. Particularly noteworthy is the beautiful soundtrack, which picks up on well-known melodies from the film and has been atmospherically arranged - a real earworm for Disney fans.

Disney's Aladdin for the SNES is a successful, lovingly realized platform game with charm, heart and a high recognition value. It scores with a successful presentation, precise gameplay and a dense atmosphere that captures the magic of the movie well. For fans of Disney and classic platformers, it is a real highlight among SNES titles.
