Gameplay

Abu can jump, roll, and climb on walls to a certain degree. Jasmine's character is hiding in a pot for her level therefore the player can hide and hop.
The player collects gold coins throughout each level and fights a variety of villains. The game's environments also vary and allow much interaction. There are minigames at the end of each level: pie throwing, surfing, skateboarding, and cloud jumping.

Plot

Disney's Aladdin in Nasira's Revenge is set after the events of The Return of Jafar, during the television series and before Aladdin and the King of Thieves. The legendary city of Agrabah is in peril again, this time threatened by the evil sorceress Nasira.
The evil witch Nasira begins her plot by taking over the palace with a spell and kidnapping Jasmine and the Sultan. She then commands the guard's captain Razoul to bring Aladdin to her dead or alive. Nasira believes that if she collects a set of ancient relics that are spread all over Agrabah she might be able to revive her brother Jafar and take over the world, and so she uses her captives to force Aladdin into doing this job for her. The game ends with Nasira resurrecting Jafar in her volcanic lair, but Aladdin manages to smash the artifacts and destroy him once again while Nasira herself flees and apparently survives.
