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^[10], and is notable for both its relative faithfulness to its source material and its extensive use of vivid color palettes and advanced graphical effects.

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

The game is an action platformer whose stages are split between three different gameplay styles: chase stages where Aladdin continually runs forward, jumping over obstacles and pits; flying stages where Aladdin rides a magic carpet while avoiding enemies and hazards; and platforming stages that resemble Prince of Persia and emphasize exploration.

In the chase stages, Aladdin runs forward automatically. He slows down with or speeds up with , and he jumps with . In the flying stages, the screen again scrolls forward automatically. Aladdin moves the magic carpet in any direction with the D-Pad.

In the platforming stages, Aladdin must explore an area, collect keys to open locked gates, and avoid enemies or defeat them by throwing rocks at them. Aladdin walks with or and dashes with or . He crouches with and jumps with . He can find rocks, which he picks up with and throws with . Aladdin can pull himself up onto ledges with after jumping onto a ledge. He can slide under low ceilings with while dashing. He can tip-toeing through spiked floors with + to avoid damage. He descends stairs with or and ascends them with or .

Aladdin has a health meter, depicted as three red jewels. He loses half of a jewel when he is hit by an enemy or a hazard. The stage ends if Aladdin loses all of his health jewels or falls into a pit (or in the first stage, if he is caught by his pursuer), and the game asks if the player wants to try again. If the player chooses no, the game ends but provides a password for continuing from that stage at a later time.

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