Ariel doesn't get to marry Eric, in fact Eric married another woman, Ariel was given a dagger to kill Eric with to turn back into a mermaid.

Quotes
Narrator: Ariel, princess of the sea, fell in love with Eric at first sight. She asked Ursula to make her human so she could meet him. He fell in love with her too and planned to marry her.
Narrator: Then one day, Sebastian, Flounder and Scuttle came to see Ariel in a big hurry. They explained that Ursula had cast a spell over the fish of the sea so they would have to do what she wanted. If she wasn't stopped, she would probably take over the whole sea.
Narrator: Ariel decided to go to Ursula's castle to try and release the fish from Ursula's spell. She explained to Eric that she was a mermaid and a princess of the sea and that she must try to save her friends. Eric tried to convince her not to go but she turned back into a mermaid, dove into the sea and began to swim towards Ursula's castle.

The best on the platform?

I was thinking about how PlayStation is the first console to be actually good today, so by the evening i came to a thought to see if Famicom / Nes even had any games worth playing. So i googled "easy nes games" and this is one of the recommended titles.

Well, i wouldn't say this is an easy game, but this is definitely a not-scammy game. It's as short as most of the releases for the platform, the controls are not very responsive and there are many aggressive enemies. You always run at 3/5 health with no way to fill it (because all of the health pickups are in the secrets). There are attack and range upgrades but those are hidden behind puzzles with a possibility to chose an empty chest.

But this game has infinite continues instead of demanding more coins. And while you have lives there is a checkpoint before the bosses. Which are easy to be fair.

Sportsmen who want to 146% the game and get the perfect score can do just that, and everyone else can beat this game in a day. I wish i had it in my childhood. It's not "good" good with such controls, but so far it's probably the best game on the platform. And there are power-point cutscenes too.
