The Little Mermaid is an action title that was also released on the Nintendo Game Boy in 1991.
+ Decent level design, and figuring out how to open chests to gain power-ups adds a welcome puzzle element.+ Ability to dash is handy, and your power / bubble range can be incrementally boosted to strengthen your offense.
+ Boss battles house some entertaining ideas that cleverly rely on you using projectiles rather than direct attacks.
+ Cut-scenes are charming and the excellent music is on par with Castle of Illusion (1991, Sega Master System).
- With only six brief stages and a very low difficulty, the credits will unfortunately roll around the 20 minute mark.
- While the animation is good, it takes a while for Ariel to turn around which puts you in danger of incoming enemies.
- Combat is an inconsequential part of the gameplay, as you can easily avoid foes and just head straight to the boss.
