About This Game
The game features colorful underwater levels with various sea creatures as both friends and foes. Ariel can attack enemies by flipping her tail to create shockwaves or by throwing collected shells.
Unlike typical platformers, swimming mechanics allow for full 360-degree movement. The game stays faithful to the movie's storyline while adding original gameplay elements.
The Little Mermaid was part of Capcom's successful line of Disney-licensed games during the late 80s and early 90s, known for their accessible gameplay and faithful adaptations.
