Disney's The Little Mermaid

A side-scrolling platformer where you play as Ariel swimming through ocean environments to stop Ursula. You fire bubbles to trap enemies, then throw them at other threats. Levels mix underwater zones with occasional beach segments. Ariel digs through sand to find buried items and collects seashells that open chests containing power-ups or extras. The game follows a loose story thread about saving the ocean before Ariel's wedding, but it's mostly an excuse to swim left-to-right through coral reefs and shipwrecks. Combat's simple—bubble, grab, toss. Exploration involves checking corners for shells and digging spots. If you want a straightforward NES-era platformer with a Disney coat of paint, this delivers exactly that.
