Gameplay
Disney's Aladdin is a side-scrolling
The escape from the Cave of Wonders and the carpet ride with Princess Jasmine are both stages in which the player rides the Magic Carpet through self-scrolling stages. While in the Cave of Wonders the player must traverse up and down to avoid dangerous obstacles while outrunning waves of lava, the ride with Jasmine is a free-flying bonus stage (between stages 5 and 6) in which the player can collect gems; the bonus stage ends when the melody to "A Whole New World" ends. Stages 1, 6 and 7 have a boss to defeat, stage 7 being the final stage; stages 2, 3, 4 and 5 require reaching the end to complete.

In the United Kingdom, Aladdin was the top-selling SNES game in December 1993.[18]
Shinji Mikami, the game's designer, said that if he had not made the SNES game, he "would probably buy" the Genesis game because it has a sword and better animation.[3]
The GBA port received mixed reviews.[22] Avi Fryman of GameSpy called the port of Disney's Aladdin "the most monumentally disappointing" of all the ports from SNES to GBA.[23]
