Disney's Aladdin in Nasira's Revenge is the Aladdin franchise video game which was developed for the PlayStation and PC by Argonaut Games and distributed by Disney Interactive in 2000.

Plot

The game is set after the events of Return of Jafar and before Aladdin and the King of Thieves.^{[citation needed]}

The legendary city of Agrabah is in trouble again: the evil sorceress Nasira (Jodi Benson) is out to avenge the death of her brother, the nefarious wizard Jafar (Jonathan Freeman). She begins her vengeful plot by taking over the palace with a spell and kidnapping Princess Jasmine (Linda Larkin) and the Sultan; she then commands the guard's captain Razoul (Jim Cummings) to bring Aladdin (Scott Weinger) to her. The treacherous Nasira believes that if she collects a set of ancient relics that are spread all over Agrabah she might be able to revive Jafar and take over the world, and so she uses her captives to force Aladdin into doing this job for her. The story is told in the cut-scenes using the game engine.

• Agrabah: Something terrible has happened at the Sultan’s Palace and Aladdin must get there right away. Unfortunately there are wanted posters with his name on it and guards hot on his tail. With the help of Genie (Dan Castellaneta) and Abu (Frank Welker), Aladdin navigates the streets of Agrabah.
• The Palace: The Sultan’s palace has been taken over by Nasira and her enchanted guards. Aladdin needs to make his way to the throne room to confront the sorceress and find out what has happened to the Sultan and Princess Jasmine.
• The Dungeon: Aladdin has been imprisoned in the dungeon and it is up to Abu to rescue him. Using his agility and skill, Abu has to dodge guards and booby traps in order to set Aladdin free.
• The Oasis: Aladdin follows the advice of a mystic to once again seek out the Cave of Wonders. First, he must find the lost scarab, key to the Cave’s entrance.
• The Cave of Wonders: A vast desert soon will unveil the mythical Cave of Wonders to Aladdin and Abu, who follow paths of gold and gems in search of the banished Genie. They then escape on Carpet before the cave collapses.
• The Pyramid: Aladdin’s quest to rescue his friends leads him to the ancient pyramids. First, he has to find the Book of the Dead to gain entry. Inside the dark tombs Aladdin must contend with mummies, snakes, Sphinx guards, while uncovering mechanical puzzles to make his way through the labyrinth of hallways. Aladdin braves the dangers to rescue Jasmine.
• The Crumbe of Palace: Jasmine returns to find the beloved palace in shambles and ruins after the tyrannical Nasira passed through it. With only a pot to hide in from witch's henchmen, Jasmine sneaks through the darkness of the palace to retrieve a vital road map for Aladdin to lead him onwards to the legendary Ancient City.
• The Ancient City: Aladdin runs at top speed along a mountainous cliff wall upwards towards an ancient, forgotten city searching for Nasira's secret lair. He enters a city in decay at night, populated by thieves and living skeletons.
• Nasira's Lair: The final battle between good and evil begins as Aladdin descends into the fiery depths of the volcano pit where Nasira prepares to bring back Jafar from the Netherworld.
