An alternate version of Aladdin appears in a simulation of Agrabah created by the Book of Prophecies. After a succesful robery, he and Abu return home and learn that Agrabah is under attack. Rushing on to the scene, Aladdin and Abu confront the Wily Bandit, which manages to defeat Aladdin.

He is found by, and suggests that Player turn back due to the danger in Agrabah. Ignoring Aladdin's warning, Player battles Heartless in the city, and is eventually confronted by the Wily Bandit. Aladdin jumps into the fray, but the Wily Bandit disappears again. After Aladdin explains what had happened to Abu, Player offers their assistance. However, Aladdin rejects their offer, as he is unwilling to endanger Player's life, but promises to contact them if he needs any help.

Depressed after failing to find Abu in the Starless Sands, Aladdin reunites with Player and voices his lack of faith in ever finding Abu. Admitting that he had hoped a set of mystic rubies would lead him to his missing friend, Aladdin gives in to his doubt. After Player provides Aladdin with a much needed pep talk, Aladdin's hope is restored and he accepts Player's help in searching for Abu. While investigating the local bulletin board, Player learns that there had been monkeys seen terrorizing the oasis, and the pair go to the oasis to see if Abu is with them. Although they do not find Abu, Aladdin decides to check another location, but he grows concerned because it is so far from town that it would be dark by the time they got there and they would get lost.

When Aladdin and Player return to town to try and figure out how to navigate the Starless Sands, they find a group of Red Bandits stealing Aladdin's rubies. The pair track down the Red Bandits and retrieve the rubies, but Aladdin is discouraged because he still does not know how to use them to find Abu. Clutching the rubies, Aladdin wishes that he knew how to find Abu, activating the rubies, which fly from his hands and light a path through the Starless Sands to the Wily Bandit's hideout. Here, Aladdin and Player fight through hordes of Heartless until they reach the Wily Bandit. After they defeat the Wily Bandit, Abu revealing himself to administer the final blow. Aladdin and Abu reunite, but Abu feels jealous when he notices that Player is with Aladdin, who assures Abu that Player is not a threat and that no one could replace him as his best friend.

Returning to Agrabah, Aladdin thanks Player their help and welcomes them to come back to the city before the two part ways.

Aladdin encounters a disguised Jasmine being attacked by Bandits. Aladdin and Abu save Jasmine, but the Bandits keep pursuing her and force them to retreat. Meanwhile, Jafar and Iago utilize the Sands of Time to discern the identity of the "diamond in the rough", which is revealed to be Aladdin. Once safe, Aladdin brings Jasmine to his home and shows her his view of the palace. When Jasmine seems disinterested, he asks where Jasmine comes from, but she evades the question and tells him that her father is forcing her to get married. Just then, the Guards find Aladdin and apprehend him, prompting Jasmine to reveal herself as the princess and order for Aladdin's release. However, the Guards inform her that their orders come from Jafar, and Jasmine must speak with him about Aladdin's release.

Arriving in the city, Player learns of Aladdin's arrest and makes their way to the dungeons to rescue him. With Abu's help, Aladdin is freed from his chains, who mulls over how he would never see Jasmine again because of the law stating that she must marry a prince. A disguised Jafar emerges and convinces him to strike a bargain: retrieve the lamp from the Cave of Wonders in exchange for his own freedom and treasures beyond his wildest dreams. Knowing that the Cave of Wonders is dangerous, Player chases after Aladdin, only to be attacked by the Ferry Reaper.

At the Cave of Wonders, Aladdin is allowed entry, but is advised to touch nothing but the lamp. Player arrives in time and volunteers to venture into the Cave of Wonders with Aladdin. Making their way through the chambers of treasure, Player and co. meet Carpet, who offers to lead them to the lamp. The Blizzard Lord and Volcanic Lord appear to block the way, forcing Aladdin and Abu to fight them back in order to proceed toward the lamp. Within the chamber, Aladdin goes to retrieve the lamp alone, but as he does so, Abu is enticed by the forbidden treasure and touches it, incurring the wrath of the Cave of Wonders Guardian. With Carpet's help, Aladdin manages to reach the entrance and gives the lamp to Jafar. Jafar attempts to kill him, only to be stopped by Abu. The Cave of Wonders then collapses and sends Aladdin and Abu to the depths. As Jafar prepares to celebrate, he realizes that the lamp is now gone.

When Player finds Aladdin, Abu, and Carpet, Abu reveals that he had stolen the lamp back from Jafar before they fell. Aladdin ends up rubbing the lamp, unknowingly summoning the Genie. After the Genie explains his wish-fulfilling powers and the limitations that go along with them, Aladdin tricks the Genie into helping them escape the Cave of Wonders without technically wishing for it.

Once they reach the Oasis, Aladdin reveals his trick to the Genie, who Genies then asks what Aladdin's first wish will be. When Aladdin asks what Genie would wish for, Genie tells Aladdin his desire for freedom since he has been a servant for thousands of years. Aladdin promises to give Genie his third wish and then wishes for Genie to make him into a prince so that he could impress and marry Jasmine.

They arrive in Agrabah just as Jafar is attempting to hypnotize the Sultan. Aladdin, under the guise of "Prince Ali Ababwa", meets the two and they discuss Jasmine's future. Later that night, as Jasmine has refused to speak with Aladdin, Genie tries to just get him to tell Jasmine the truth, though Aladdin rejects the idea and tries to reach out to Jasmine his own way. Using Carpet to reach Jasmine's balcony, Aladdin attempts to speak with her, but she brushes him off. After revealing Carpet's presence to Jasmine by pretending to jump off the balcony, Aladdin takes Jasmine on a romantic carpet ride, where Jasmine realizes Aladdin's identity. Aladdin covers this up by claiming to disguise himself as a commoner in order to get away from his oppressing royal lifestyle, just as Jasmine had done.

When the night is over, Jasmine kisses Aladdin and they part ways, but before Aladdin can relish his success, he is apprehended by the Jafar and the Guards, with Jafar ordering them to get rid of Aladdin. The Guards take Aladdin to the coast, tying a weight around his ankle and throwing him into the water. Genie uses Aladdin's second wish in order to save him. After Player reunites with the two, they head back to the palace in order to expose Jafar's treachery.

With Aladdin out of the way, Jafar hypnotizes the Sultan and forces him to order Jasmine to marry Jafar. Jasmine refuses to marry Jafar out of her love for "Prince Ali". Just as Jafar claims that "Prince Ali" had left, Aladdin reveals himself and how Jafar had attempted to have him killed. Realizing that the Sultan's strange behavior is the result of Jafar's staff, Aladdin breaks it and frees the Sultan, who orders Jafar's arrest. Jafar sees the lamp in Aladdin's possession and summons a Heartless so he can escape.

With Jasmine set to marry him, Aladdin has everything he wanted. However, he resolves that he cannot wish Genie free, or else risk losing Jasmine if she should ever discover the truth. Mimicking Jasmine's voice, Iago draws Aladdin away so that he can steal the lamp, thus allowing Jafar to claim Genie and make his first wish: to become sultan. As darkness covers the sky, Player rushes to Aladdin's side, only to find that Jafar has Aladdin, Jasmine, and the Sultan under his control. Jafar reveals Aladdin's farce to Jasmine just as Player attempts to intervene, and Jafar casts both Aladdin and Player out of the kingdom with his magic.

Player and Aladdin wake up to find themselves in a snowy wasteland. After locating Carpet, they fly back to Agrabah in order to stop Jafar. In Agrabah, Jafar asks Jasmine to become his queen. When she denies him, Jafar attempts to use Genie to force Jasmine to fall madly in love with him. Seeing Aladdin sneak into the throne room, Jasmine pretends that Jafar's wish worked to buy Aladdin time to steal back the lamp, but Iago sees spots them and warns Jafar. Jafar transforms himself into a giant cobra in order to finish Aladdin off once and for all, with Player joining the latter in battle. Jafar manages to get the upper hand and constricts Aladdin and Player, only to be tricked by Aladdin into wishing to become a genie himself, as Genie's power still outweighed his own. Jafar falls for the trick and battles Aladdin and Player after becoming a Genie, only to be imprisoned within his own lamp afterwards.

Aladdin apologizes to Jasmine for lying, though she understands, and Genie encourages him to use his third wish to become a prince again. Instead, Aladdin wishes for Genie's freedom, as he had originally promised. Despite having given up his chance to be with Jasmine, the Sultan abolishes the law stating that Jasmine must marry a prince, allowing Jasmine to choose Aladdin.
