Play Disney's Aladdin (J)(Eurasia) Online

Disney's Aladdin for the Game Boy Advance, released in 2003 by developer/publisher Disney Interactive, arrived late in the handheld's life. It was one of many platformers vying for attention in a library already rich with action and adventure titles. The game adapts the film's story into a side scrolling journey, with players stepping into Aladdin's sandals to navigate the bustling streets and perilous caverns of Agrabah.

You control Aladdin directly, running, jumping, and slashing with his scimitar through a series of linear stages. The main goal is to rescue Princess Jasmine from Jafar's clutches, which involves overcoming enemies, avoiding environmental hazards like spikes and collapsing floors, and collecting gems for extra lives. Signature mechanics include poking suspicious walls to reveal hidden passages and carefully timing leaps across moving platforms or over bottomless pits. The pacing is brisk, though some sections demand precise jumps and can feel unforgiving. It captures the energetic, sometimes frantic feel of classic platforming, where every successful dodge or discovered secret brings a small but genuine sense of accomplishment.
