Play Aladdin (Beta) Online

Swing your scimitar through Agrabah’s bustling streets, vaulting over guards and bouncing on magic carpets—the animation’s so smooth it feels like playing the movie. Watch out for those sneaky monkeys in the Cave of Wonders though.

Game Overview

Disney’s Aladdin on SNES is one of those licensed games that actually holds up. You jump, slash with a scimitar, and dodge guards through Agrabah’s rooftops—though the real star is the animation. Every frame feels ripped straight from the movie, especially when you’re bouncing on carpets or dodging those annoying monkeys in the Cave of Wonders.

The levels are surprisingly varied—one minute you’re sneaking past palace guards, the next you’re riding a magic carpet through lava. The controls take a second to get used to (why does jumping feel so floaty?), but once it clicks, it’s a solid platformer. Just don’t expect Genie to bail you out when you miss a ledge.

It’s a short ride, but the art style and music make it worth revisiting. I still hum the marketplace theme sometimes.
