Disney's Aladdin (アラジン) is a Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear action platform game developed by SIMS and published by Sega. Based on the titular 1992 film Aladdin, it was first released in Europe in February 1994, and is most notable for both its relative faithfulness to its source material and its extensive use of vivid color palettes and advanced graphical effects.

Gameplay

The game is split into nine stages, split into three types of gameplay. Stages 1, 2, and 8 are auto-scrolling stages where Aladdin continually runs forward, jumping over obstacles and pits. Stages 5 and 7 are flight stages, where Aladdin must fly the carpet while avoiding enemies, hazards, and getting caught against the walls.

The rest of the stages are platformer stages, where Aladdin must explore an area, collect keys to open locked gates, and avoid or defeat enemies by throwing rocks at them.

He can descend stairs with or and ascend them with or . These stages play very similarly to Prince of Persia, but the puzzles are not as difficult.

Between each stage, subtitled cutscenes relate a simplified version of the film's script.
