I know this title sounds sarcastic, but in all honesty, I found this game was actually a lot more enjoyable than I was imagining. Especially after dealing with the previous two games being Girl Zone and Sabrina: The Teenage Witch: A Twitch in Time! Both in one day!
So I was fully expecting another set of uninspiring levels where you do dress-ups, play with makeup or play something just terribly programmed, but the developers behind this game put way more effort in it than they should have!
You play as many of the most popular princesses in the Disney Film series (Snow White, Belle, Jasmin, Ariel, Cinderella and Aurora from Sleeping Beauty) and every set of stages is different depending on the character. Along with mechanics all of their own too. Not to mention fairly entertaining boss battles too.
Snow White's ability to sing allows her to counter evil magic and to stun or put enemies to sleep. The final battle ends up being like a counter-spelling session against her Evil Step-Mother, dressed as the old crone and dodging poisoned apples that she keeps hurling at you like it's going out of fashion.
Belle fights with snowballs on the way to the castle and has to do some quick-thinking and platforming to rescue all of the characters in the castle. The boss fight is dropping books on Gaston as he tries to chase after the many animated ornaments.
Jasmin takes up her scimitar and knocked out enemies (not killing, though since they're under Jaffar's Spells) as you make your way to rescue Aladdin (bit of a Gender-Bend there) and beat him over the head with her blade.
Ariel has the Trident and unlike the other games, you spend it all underwater and can swim around whilst shooting energy bolts at enemies (often copy/pasted Flotsam and Jetsam) whilst you travel around to free all the merfolk and your battle in a final fight with Ursula that comes off more like an arcade shooter.
Cinderella was what I imaged what the entire game would be, running around doing chores like cleaning and such, however, you do this because it's part of the story where she's trying to do every single task whilst she also tries to deal with Lucifer the cat who seems to have it out for her and making a mess. Ending in a dance off against the ugly step-sisters.
Aurora's one was an annoying story as she couldn't do much, but, had to retrieve wands and then use potions she finds to enter her family castle, rescue the parents and then use the magic once again to take out Maleficent.
I couldn't believe that I had such a good time with this game, but it just goes to show you that looks can be deceiving! Not to mention, Retroarch also had achievements for it that referenced the movies the characters were all from!

Fuck it I love this Game
Better than you think, but not so good it's worth recommending. Each princess controls differently, albeit some (Snow White comes to mind) control so slowly. Sprite work is nice.
Absolutely insane how hard this is for what's clearly supposed to be a little girl's first video game - unrelated but this was the first game I ever owned :')
another game that if I played today I would probably think is really lame. but I played it a lot when I was 10 and was one of the first non-Pokemon Game Boy Advance games I played, so whatever
This is the worst game of all time
this was my childhood and i wish this game was longer because it's so fricking cute and the sprite work is absolutely adorable
I was scared of this game as a kid
While it seemed ambitious in that it included several different princess campaigns all in one game, all of the gameplay was painfully redundant with mazelike levels and glacial pacing to the entire experience. While I probably put way more time into this than my sister as a kid it isn't one I'd recommend.
Another game I could never finish as a kid. Let me tell you 7 year old Dalaamclouds... you should be lucky you never did lol.
It goes without saying that the game is clunky and has awful controls - it became fun to me because I was so determined to finish this god damn thing for once in my life and see which princess was hidden behind the ??? section, like a terrible torture device on myself. Well, spoilers - it's NONE; it's just a group MINIGAME. UGH.
At least this game IS a game with different game play options and a variety of story - hence why it's 1 and not 0. Congrats Disney, you win, I guess.

listen i KNOW this game is realistically worthless but i played it RELIGIOUSLY as a small child and I always love it regardless.
