Disney's The Little Mermaid

This video game adaptation of Disney 's The Little Mermaid is a side-scrolling action game.

Ariel has already met Eric and both plan to wed, when the sea witch Ursula takes control of the ocean! After explaining the situation to her lover, Ariel becomes a mermaid once again and sets off to rescue the sea kingdom.

As Ariel the mermaid, who can not only swim but also occasionally hop around on land, the player traverses various levels, shooting bubbles at her foes to trap them and then throw them at each other. Ariel can also dig through sand to find treasure and pick up sea shells to help her break chests open.

Treasures found in the sand usually only give bonus points, but the treasure chests contain power-ups to increase the bubbles' power and range.
