Play Ariel the Little Mermaid (USA, Europe) Online
Swim through coral mazes as Ariel, popping enemies with bubble shots and freeing cursed merfolk—controls feel floaty at first, but weaving past eels and jellyfish clicks after a while. That calypso soundtrack? Pure underwater nostalgia.
Game Overview
Okay, so Ariel the Little Mermaid on Genesis is basically what happens if you take Ecco the Dolphin and give it a Disney makeover. You swim around these underwater mazes as Ariel, shooting bubbles at enemies (weirdly satisfying) and rescuing trapped merfolk from Ursula’s curse. The controls take a second to get used to—turns out mermaids don’t handle like race cars—but once you figure out the momentum, darting between coral and dodging jellyfish feels pretty smooth.
Some levels get surprisingly tricky with hidden paths and those annoying eels that just won’t leave you alone. And yeah, the music’s exactly what you’d hope for: heavy on the calypso vibes, like someone remixed "Under the Sea" for a 16-bit sound chip. It’s short, but for a licensed game from this era, it’s way more playable than it had any right to be.
