The Little Mermaid came out for the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1991, developed by Capcom. It was one of many licensed Disney games from that period, a time when movie tie-ins were common on the console. You play as Ariel, the mermaid, and your goal is to stop the sea witch Ursula from taking over the ocean.

You control Ariel as she swims through side scrolling levels, using a bubble attack to stun or defeat enemies like crabs and eels. The main objective involves navigating these underwater stages, defeating bosses, and rescuing your animal friends. A key mechanic is finding and using special sea creatures; a seahorse lets you dash quickly, and a blowfish allows you to break certain blocks. The game is generally considered short and not particularly difficult, which makes it accessible. It feels like a light, breezy swim through a familiar story.
