    Disney's Aladdin, more commonly known as Aladdin (アラジン), is a platform game developed by Virgin Interactive and released for the Sega Mega Drive in 1993. It is based on the 1992 Disney movie of the same name. It is one of the best-selling Mega Drive games with four million copies sold.[12]

    The game is different from other games based on the film, including Disney's Aladdin for the Sega Master System and Sega Game Gear, developed by Sims. Another version was developed by Capcom for the Super NES (and later Game Boy Advance), as they held the rights to develop Disney-licensed games for the Super NES.

    Story

    The game follows the story of the film, which is an adaptation of the story of Aladdin from Arabian Nights. Street urchin Aladdin survives by stealing food from the marketplace in the city of Agrabah. Princess Jasmine, upset at the prospect of an arranged marriage, escapes the palace and meets Aladdin when he saves her from an angry merchant. Meanwhile, Jafar, the Royal Vizier, seeks a magical lamp hidden in the Cave of Wonders. After consulting the Sands of Time, he learns that only Aladdin can enter the cave and retrieve the lamp. Jafar plots to manipulate Aladdin into obtaining the lamp for him.

    Gameplay

    Aladdin MD, Store.png

    The Peddler

    The game is a side-scrolling platformer in which the player controls Aladdin in stages that follow the plot of the Disney film. The goal of each stage varies: some stages involve collecting pieces of the Golden Scarab, some only require reaching the end, and some have a boss fight. Aladdin moves with Left and Right, can duck with Down, and can jump with C. He can attack enemies by slashing them at short range using a scimitar with B or by pelting them with apples at long range with A. Apples are a finite resource but can be collected in abundant amounts throughout the game. Aladdin can grab onto ropes, clotheslines, and poles with Up. He can climb up ropes with Up and descend them with Down. He can use his scimitar and throw apples while ducking, jumping, or on ropes. Aladdin slashes four times around himself by pressing Up+B.

    Aside from apples, Aladdin can collect gems, which are traded with the Peddler in some stages for extra lives and "wishes" (continues) by standing in front of the desired item and pressing Up. Aladdin can also find Abu and Genie Tokens, which allow him to play a bonus game after the current stage ends.

    Aladdin's health is indicated by a trail of smoke emanating from the Genie's lamp on the top-left corner of the screen. The trail shortens whenever Aladdin is harmed by an enemy or a stage hazard. Health can be restored by collecting blue Genie Hearts scattered throughout the stages. If Aladdin runs out of health, the player loses a life. The game ends if the player runs out of lives, but it can be continued if the player has continues remaining. The game has three difficulty levels (Practice, Normal, and Difficult), which affect the amount of lives and apples Aladdin is equipped with at the start of the game.

    Items

    Items can be collected by touching them with Aladdin or hitting them with his scimitar.

    Stages

    Aladdin MD AgrabahMarket.png

    Agrabah Market
    "Street rat" Aladdin makes his way through the streets of Agrabah as the royal vizier Jafar (with his parrot Iago) plots to steal a magical lamp from the Cave of Wonders. Aladdin runs into Princess Jasmine, disguised as a commoner, and develops a bond with her. The music for this stage is "Prince Ali."

    Aladdin MD Desert.png

    The Desert
    Jafar approaches Aladdin disguised as an elderly beggar and convinces him to find a half of the Golden Scarab in the desert, promising him untold riches from the Cave of Wonders. The Scarab is a magical artifact that, when its two pieces are combined, opens the way to the Cave of Wonders. The Scarab piece flies away the first two times that Aladdin touches it, but the stage ends when Aladdin finds it a third time.

    Agrabah Rooftops
    Aladdin searches the streets and rooftops of Agrabah for Gazeem the Thief, who holds the second piece of the golden Scarab. After defeating him, Aladdin fights Razoul, the Captain of the Guards. Aladdin must find floating flutes to cause magic ropes to appear from the pots of the snake charmers. He can hang from these ropes as they carry him into the air. The music for this stage is "One Jump Ahead."

    Aladdin MD SultansDungeon.png

    Sultan's Dungeon
    After collecting both pieces of the Scarab, Aladdin is ambushed by palace guards and thrown into the dungeon, over the protests of Princess Jasmine. The music for this stage is "Arabian Nights."

    Cave of Wonders
    Aladdin escapes from the dungeon and meets with the beggar again. Jafar, as the beggar, uses the Scarab to gain entrance to the Cave of Wonders and sends Aladdin into the cave to retrieve the lamp, where he is warned not to touch anything but the lamp. Destroying the monkey statues holding gems causes platforms to appear or opens new pathways. After fighting the four-armed Shiva Monkey, a magic carpet appears and takes Aladdin to the final ascent to the lamp.

    Aladdin MD Escape.png

    The Escape
    Aladdin's pet monkey Abu touches the forbidden treasure, causing the cave to collapse around them. They must now escape the cave before they are buried alive in it.

    Aladdin MD RugRide.png

    Rug Ride
    Aladdin rides the magic carpet out of the cave as a wave of hot lava chases them. Genie hands point out the safe path to avoid boulders.

    Aladdin MD InsidetheLamp.png

    Inside the Lamp
    Aladdin and Abu are trapped inside the cave before they can escape, when they are sucked into the surreal world of the genie's lamp. The music for this stage is "Friend Like Me."

    Aladdin MD SultansPalace.png

    Sultan's Palace
    The genie helps Aladdin escape from the Cave of Wonders, and they race to the Sultan's Palace. Aladdin must rescue Abu by hitting the bottom of his cage. Aladdin fights Iago, Jafar's parrot and henchman, who is running a storm machine that summons ghosts.

    Jafar's Palace
    Jafar seizes the lamp while Aladdin is distracted by Iago and uses it to take over the palace and become a powerful sorcerer. Aladdin must defeat him and banish him.

    Bonus stages

    Bonus stages are played after the current stage is completed if the player has collected the appropriate tokens.

    Aladdin MD, Bonus Stage, Genie.png

    Genie
    The Genie bonus stage is played by collecting Genie icons in the stage. It is similar to a slot machine and cycles through items. The player can stop it by pressing A, B, or C. If it lands on an item, the player receives it: five apples, a gem, an extra life. If it lands on Jafar, the player loses all remaining spins. Each Genie icon collected gives the player one turn.

    Aladdin MD, Bonus Stage, Abu.png

    • Aladdin MD, Bonus Stage, Abu.png

    • Aladdin MD, Bonus Stage, Abu in Cave.png

    Abu
    Three of the stages (both of the Agrabah stages and the Cave of Wonders) contain an Abu token, which allows the player to play the Abu bonus stage. The player controls Aladdin's pet monkey Abu, who controls similarly to Aladdin: Left and Right move, B swings his scimitar, and C jumps. Abu swings his scimitar in a circle that attacks all around him. Abu can collect apples, gems, and extra lives. Pots or rocks fall and other obstacles and enemies try to harm Abu. If Abu is hit, the bonus stage ends.

    History

    Development

    Main article: Disney's Aladdin/Development.

    Legacy

    In 2019, Aladdin was re-released as part of Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and The Lion King for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Nintendo Switch alongside several versions of The Lion King. The compilation includes the original Mega Drive version, along with the June 27th prototype build (named the "Demo Version"), the Japanese version, and a "Final Cut" version which is a modified version of the Mega Drive game with many bug fixes, camera adjustments and other tweaks to improve gameplay, with the goal of representing "potential changes that the development team may have implemented had they had more time". The Game Boy version is also included in monochrome and "colour" (simulating the game as if it were inserted into a Game Boy Color).

    Versions

    Aside from text translations, the game is identical in all regions from a content's point of view. The PAL version, like most other Virgin Games USA releases, was optimized in terms of music speed but not gameplay speed. Forcing the game into 60 Hz mode makes the music play too fast.

    The game was ported to the Amiga, Game Boy, IBM PC, NES, and Game Boy Color.
