Play Ariel the Little Mermaid (World edition · English) Online

Press Start until the Options screen, choose Ariel or Triton, and use Easy difficulty for the first attempt. In each underwater level, pause to check the map: every small twinkling dot marks a merperson still trapped by Ursula. Swim over a polyp or hit it with the normal weapon to free its captive, search for keys and treasure, and rescue everyone before tackling the boss. Save limited super weapons for clustered enemies or the boss, and call the Fish Friend whose ability fits the obstacle.

Press any D-pad direction to turn and swim forward, tapping repeatedly for a burst of speed. With the default layout, A fires Ariel’s star shower or Triton’s thunderbolt, B fires the normal note sparkle or fireball, and C calls a Fish Friend; these three functions can be rearranged in Options. Start pauses and opens the level map. On the map, any action button opens Fish Friend selection; use Left or Right to highlight a helper and A, B, or C to choose.
