Disney's Ariel the Little Mermaid, usually shorted to simply Ariel the Little Mermaid, is a 1992 video game developed by BlueSky Software for the Sega Genesis, Game Gear and Master System, based on the 1989 film The Little Mermaid.




In Ariel the Little Mermaid, the players controls either Ariel or King Triton in a similar way to Ecco the Dolphin (1992). In the game, their mission is to rid Ursula's spell on the Atlantica kingdom, which has turned the mermaid population into polyps. Depending on which character is chosen, Ariel will also have to save Triton from Ursula, or Triton vice versa. There are four stages, each requiring the player to collect polyps before fighting a boss. The first level is a reef maze with sharks, clams and eels as foes. The second is a sunken ship with sharks, ghosts and skeleton pirates inside and around it. The third is the remains of Atlantis where sentient statues shoot arrows and frisbees, and the last is a series of volcanic caves. Ariel kills enemies and ends the polyp spells by singing, whereas Triton shoots lightning balls to do so.
