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.
Ariel the Little Mermaid came out on the Sega Genesis in 1992, developed by BlueSky Software and published by Sega. It was one of many licensed platformers from that era, aiming to capture the charm of the Disney film while fitting into the 16-bit action genre. The game doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, but it offers a straightforward, colorful underwater adventure that feels right at home on the system.
You control Ariel, swimming through side scrolling stages, using bubbles to attack enemies like pufferfish and eels. The main goal is to rescue merfolk who have been turned into dark, polygonal monsters by Ursula's magic. Key mechanics include collecting pearls to open new areas and finding hidden treasures, such as King Triton's trident, to progress. The pacing is relaxed, and the difficulty is fairly gentle, making it accessible for younger players. Navigating the vibrant seascapes and clearing each screen of threats gives the game a light, playful feel.
