Play Aladdin (Germany) Online

Swing a curved sword through Agrabah’s rooftops, tossing apples at guards while dodging their spears—just watch out for those oddly placed lava pits. The animation’s slick, the tunes slap, and yeah, that cave escape still gets your palms sweaty.

Game Overview

This SNES version of Aladdin is the one I grew up with—the one where you actually get to swing that sweet curved sword. You start off jumping across Agrabah rooftops, dodging guards and collecting apples to chuck at enemies (weird choice, but it works). The animation’s surprisingly smooth for a 16-bit game, especially when Aladdin does that little flip after jumping.

Some levels stick close to the movie, like escaping the Cave of Wonders before it collapses, while others go wild—like that weird lava stage that definitely wasn’t in the film. The music’s all bangers though, especially the marketplace theme. Just don’t expect Genie to break the fourth wall like in the Genesis version.

It’s short, but those last few platforming sections over the lava pits will test your patience. Still one of the better Disney-to-game adaptations from that era.
