Disney's Aladdin - SEGA Genesis/Mega Drive - ULTIMATE GUIDE - ALL Levels, ALL Bosses, ALL Secrets

[@Parth1713]

One tip I have for the blocks in the dungeon - as soon as you jump on one, stand still. As you do stand still, after a second or so, Aladdin will bob his head out (the looking around animation when standing still). When he does it the first time, jump on the next block. (just like the guy does in 33:11)

[@louisnemzer6801]

My dentist had this game in the waiting room when I was a kid. So I beat the first level many times, but never go much further

One thing I love about your videos is all the tips and screenshots at the left side of the screen. It reminds me of reading those old gaming magazines that were popular in the 90s. I have so many fond memories of reading and re-reading new and old issues of Nintendo Power, and Electronic Gaming Monthly.

[@KrosanBeast315]

There is another move Aladdin can do. If you are standing still, hold up while standing still and press the Attack Button at once, you will do a multiple upward side to side slash. You can keep tapping the Attack Button while holding up to do many upward side to side slashes in succession. It's excellent for defense when enemies are attacking you on both sides or if things are flying towards you. Finally, if you have to attack enemies in a tight spot, it's a good technique to use.

Loved this game as a kid! You're not collecting 3 halves of the scarab in the desert level, it's the same half 3 times. It flies away when you touch it the first 2 times. The 2nd half is from the first boss of the next stage. If you look close, you can see there's a graphical difference for each half.

I definitely agree! I was so excited when I saw a Turbo Graphic game still hoping to see more games from it

[@wombatkins]

I grew up with this game. The animation looked like a real cartoon to me. And the Genesis's tinny sound chip was used to great effect.

[@alexanderwsm6296]

Why have you never used the sword from the crouch position? When you strike from the crouch your attack has more distance and you avoid some attacks from the enemies (especially that big muscular guard). Also, I think in the desert there aren't three parts of scarab - it's just one half that flies away the first two times you try to grab it.

[@merlinyesreally]

Not the version I had growing up, but I can see what my friends were into a little more clearly now. Thanks UCBVG!

Man i love this channel. I just recently subscribed and ive just been watching him play the games i grew up playing. Almost 4 years of videos is like a months worth of binging. I watch some multiple times as well. I have a request. Theres a game called out of this world. Itd be a shorter video but that game is amazing.

[@Jazzypants2007]

It's funny, for some reason my brain always sorted this game into SIX levels rather than the ten it actually has. I think mainly because I counted levels 2 and 3 as 1-2 and 1-3 and level 7 as 3-2. No idea why I did this. It's a bit sad that Blue Sky didn't get to finish Aladdin, would've been neat to see what they came up with at least, but perhaps this turned out for the best. Blue Sky went on to make one of my favorite action/run and gun games on the Genesis two years later: Vectorman, not to mention the EXCELLENT Jurassic Park sequel: Rampage Edition (another favorite, thanks to UrinatingTree for alerting me to its existence as a separate game from the original so long ago, as I thought it was just an upgraded version of the original until I watched his review of it) a year before that. Also, Virgin's final product is one of my favorite Genesis games. I was one of those kids fortunate enough to have both 16 bit consoles so it was never a matter of having to choose in that regard. I also played the SNES version and while I hated it back then, it's definitely a solid game in its own right and I definitely love it now. I just prefer this Aladdin. I don't know if it's those certain animations (getting the guard's pants to drop cracks me up even today), or the atmosphere, or the soundtrack... but something about this just feels better to me.

I remember a couple times in my childhood that I managed to soft-lock the game during the Jafar fight. If you get up close to him and fire apples at turbo speed, Jafar will sometimes flat-out disappear and his second form won't start. ...It might even happen after his second form. I don't remember which form does this because I haven't played Aladdin in 18 years. But I do remember soft-locking the Jafar fight because I threw apples at him too close and too quickly. ...Also, the Genesis version IMO is still the best. I mean, what is Aladdin if he doesn't swing a weapon? The sound of clanking swords if both you and the enemy swing simultaneously is a nice attention to detail that I think gets overlooked.

[@Blizzard91]

53:57 if you're quick enough you can jump off of carpet and grab the ceiling to save a bit of time. 55:15 if you have enough health then don't worry about taking damage from the spikes here. Your health will refill completely when you enter the boss room. 55:30 It's actually better if you get closer to the boss here. Spam your sword attack to stop the lightning bolts. Once you do spam apples like crazy and when Iago gets caught in the cogs start spamming your sword again. Good guide overall. This is one of my favorite games and they're were things in this video I was not aware of. Such as the super jump and the hidden extra life at the start of level 1. I'd really like to see you do another favorite genesis game of mine; Wonder Boy In Monster World.

[@zekethep1umber]

This game was wonderful. Felt like playing the movie. The animation and large sprites were so good. I owned the snes version too but this one was my personal favorite.

[@SpringOnion567]

I loved this game as a kid. Never got too far into it without a game genie. The animation floored us as kids. 11:53 Chamberpots!?!?! A little bit of an intense description. I thought they were clay pots as a kid because the little I knew about archeology involved studying broken clay pots. 11:15 I always used the camel to get the extra life as a kid. The Abu levels were always fun to get good at clearing as a kid. Forgot so many things till I saw this video. I didn't even Q that there were 3 scarab pieces in the desert. I didn't even know the flutes activated the magic ropes. They were so easy to collect when I was a kid I never made connection. As a kid you just got things you could collect knowing it would help.

[@LongplayMuseum]

I had no idea that this was the third best selling game on the Sega Genesis!

This game was good back in the day & still love the game after figuring out how to avoid the dangerous stuff in the game. Did beat it with Game Genie back in the day but it was still tricky to beat it.

[@enavy04]

I noticed in stage 2, each piece of the scarab is the exact same. Maybe it just means that the first two times you try to collect the scarab piece, it flies away. The scarab piece you get from the first boss of the 3rd level is the other piece of the scarab.

[@bowser254xbox]

[@striderskorpion]

I played this game so much as a kid that I could breeze through the game on the highest difficulty setting. When we learned about the debug mode, we explored all over the levels to find anything we didn't see normally. So, I ended up exploring as much as I could to find it all (fortunately, the game doesn't have a time limit). When I played the SNES version the first time, it was something of a shock seeing it didn't look as good (IMO) and didn't have the sword. It was still fun, but the Genesis version was superior (again, IMO).

[@davidt3563]

I always got frustrated at the carpet level. I made it to Jafar once but couldn't beat him. I would have been in awe watching you breeze through it.

[@striderskorpion]

@davidt3563 We didn't have a lot of games, so we played what we had a lot (i.e., we had a lot of practice). Also, I always stocked up on extra lives and continues whenever I could. I hated that carpet level. It was kind enough to let you skip it after a few failed attempts. If you played it enough, you'd memorize it. But those twitch reactions didn't always work in your favor.

[@davidt3563]

@@striderskorpion I had a paper route around 93 so as a kid I had TONS of free money (about 1k a month) but not a lot of free time. So I bought games constantly and pretty much beat none of them. I wish I could go back and slap myself for that. I didn't correct that habit until 08 when I was an adult. Now I make a conservative effort to get the most out of my game purchases. It's so much more rewarding that way!

[@seewhatwhat2474]

I always thought grabbing three scarab pieces in Level 2 was odd as well. Only recently did I realize the first two times Aladdin touches it, the piece then flies away. But, at the end of the level, it doesn't. I believe the developers were indicating that Aladdin never actually acquired the first scarab piece until the third time the player touches it.

[@UCanBeatVideoGames]

I did collect that 1-Up, but I did it in the earlier part of the video, and then didn't collect it after I cut away. The reason I didn't collect it the second time through was because if you ever have 9 lives, the 1-Ups won't spawn. So, to be able to show where to collect all of the 1-Ups, I had to strategicly drop some lives when I had a chance to cut away. To be fair, though- I'm sure I missed a few on Rug Ride.
