Frequently Asked Questions

Which areas have the most hidden items? Look carefully in the first Agrabah Market level—behind certain carpets and pots, and inside hidden nooks near platforms. The Cave of Wonders also conceals many gems and bonuses behind deceptive tile patterns.

Is it possible to defeat guards without attacking them? Yes—some guards can be avoided entirely by staying out of their detection range. Using apples to stun them is a safer option, and Aladdin's leaping acrobatics let you evade confrontation in many situations.

How does the Genie assist Aladdin in the game? The Genie appears at certain transitions between stages or hidden in magic lamps, offering helpful boosts—often awarding extra lives, pointing out shortcuts, and providing humorous encouragement.
