Disney's Aladdin, Capcom version on the SNES, was directed by Shinji Mikami of Resident Evil fame.

Well, that much might be common knowledge, but there is one level with a huge pit and to clear it, the Genie appears and spawns a bunch of easier to jump on cloud platforms. Then he spawns a ring (which you have to swing on) and a playing card (you can bounce off only once) and the previous objects start despawing rapidly.
If you die enough times in that particular section, the Genie will instead spawn just cloud platforms for all of the level. That was back in 1994, years before Resident Evil 4.
