Aladdin , a side-scrolling platformer based on the 1992 animated Disney film, is set in various locations from the movie. The player controls Aladdin as he navigates through the streets and rooftops of Agrabah, the Cave of Wonders, the Sultan's dungeon, and eventually Grand Vizier Jafar's palace.
Aladdin features several gameplay mechanics, including sword fighting with enemies and using apples to defend himself. The player can also collect gems to trade for lives and continues with a traveling trader. Finding Genie or Abu icons enables bonus rounds, which include a game of luck for apples, gems, or extra lives.
The game's humor was added by Walt Disney Feature Animation through its animated sequences.
