How to Play Ariel the Little Mermaid
Quick start
Start Ariel the Little Mermaid and use the opening section to learn the character's movement, jump distance, and main action. Explore above and below the direct route for items, approach enemies one at a time, and avoid rushing into hazards until their timing is clear. Preserve lives and activate checkpoints or passwords whenever they are available.
Controls
Use the D-pad to walk, crouch, or climb where the stage permits. A, B, and C provide jump, attack, and the secondary action used by this version; test the three buttons safely at the start to confirm their order. Start begins play and pauses.
