The beginning

A guard is about to shish kabob me

I died

Intro

I must reach that potion

Looks like I have taken a wrong step

Fighting a guard

Falling down

Hey, that's me!

I've jumped through the mirror

A very large hall

Confronting with a skeleton

That trap looks dangerous!

A tutorial level

Fighting a guard in a palace level.

A duel with an Amazon guard.

Sometimes there are brief outdoor areas, like this nice moonlit bridge that connects two palace towers.

This guard is excellent at fencing.

The Prince's shadow blocks the way.

In the SNES version, the Prince finds himself in some kind of an underworld after the encounter with the shadow.

The underworld levels have appropriately styled flame traps.

The halls of the palace are exquisitely decorated.

The Princess' mouse comes to the rescue.

This is not a door to the next level, it's a teleporter...

...that will take you to an otherwise unreachable part of the level.

Another part of the palace, another style of decoration. The red carpet doesn't exactly mask the spike traps here.

These heavily armoured guards are either high-ranking officers or some sort of Jaffar's personal elite guard.
