Overview and Gameplay
Aladdin races across Agrabah with a scimitar and a limited supply of apples. This 1993 action-platformer follows the film’s broad story as he escapes guards, explores the Cave of Wonders, survives the Genie’s lamp, and confronts Jafar.
Ten principal stages mix side-scrolling combat and platforming with lava escapes, a magic-carpet obstacle course, boss encounters, checkpoints, and bonus rounds. Gems buy extra Tries or Wishes, Genie Tokens open a chance game, and Abu Tokens unlock collection challenges.

Health appears as smoke from the Genie’s lamp. Blue vases serve as checkpoints, while Practice, Normal, and Difficult settings change starting resources and challenge.
