Play Little Mermaid, The on gb Online
Ariel swims through coral reefs, shooting bubbles at sea creatures to reclaim stolen treasures—floaty controls at first, but blasting jellyfish never gets old. Tiny sprites, chiptune Disney tunes, and that classic Capcom magic make it weirdly addictive.
I picked up The Little Mermaid for the Game Boy back in 1991, a time when licensed games were a real mixed bag. Developed by Capcom and published by Nintendo, it was one of those portable titles that felt like a genuine effort to adapt the film into something playable, not just a quick cash-in. The hardware limitations were obvious, but it had a certain charm that made it stand out among other Disney games on the system.
You control Ariel as she swims through side-scrolling underwater stages, using bubbles to attack enemies and recover stolen treasures. The main goal is to defeat Ursula by progressing screen by screen, fighting off crabs and jellyfish while avoiding hazards. The bubble shooting mechanic is simple but satisfying; you can trap foes and then pop them for items. The pacing is brisk, though some sections demand careful timing. It feels light and fluid, like a quick dip in familiar waters.
