PrinceWatercress plays Barbie: Magic Genie Adventure - Part 1 of 5


Yep, it's another Barbie game. This one is pretty fun, though, even if it's non-violent and the mazes are easy. It's a pretty good time-waster for an hour or two.

Next | End

One day Barbie Genie and her four genie friends, Fiera, Terra, Sylvia and Marid were having a lovely picnic outside the Crystal City Palace. While Barbie was busy getting some water, the evil sultan, Kardal, took the four magic lamps from Barbie Genie's friends, making them powerless! Barbie goes after Kardal, but Kardal is too fast for her and she realizes she needs some help.

From here, you'll be in Crystal City. Use the Control Pad to fly around in any direction, and press A to talk to people and animals when you are close enough to them. The Select button allows you to look in your inventory and also see your map. By pressing Start, you can see your password. To un-pause, press B at the password screen.

By talking to the people here, you'll find out that the Magical Forest is on the other side, that there is a maze in the Crystal Palace, and that one of the people at the market booths is hungry (and that you'll need to get his lunch for him and bring it back to him).

There is a magic carpet above one of the market booths. Touch it to pick it up. You'll find a few items in the game this way. The magic carpet is to be given to a woman looking out of a window, and if you talk to her with it in your inventory, you'll get a Sun Charm in exchange. There are fifteen jewels in the game, and to get them, you'll need to help find things or do things for other people in the places that you travel to. If you can get all fifteen of these trinkets, you'll complete the game 100%. Above her is the Yellow Crystal, one of the four Crystals you're going to need. Two are hidden in the city; the other two are in the palace.

You can talk to animals, but they just run away. They come back when you leave the area where you talked to them in and come back.

There is an old man on top of a flight of stairs who says that he sometimes plays his harp for Queen Aladima, and that he has accidentally left it in the palace. He will ask you to bring it back to him.

The Green Crystal is just to the left of the Crystal Palace entrance.

The woman and child to the right of the Crystal Palace entrance has the lunch. Talk to the woman to get the lunch for the hungry man at the booth, then talk to the hungry man at the booth. You'll get a Diamond as thanks.

There's nothing else to do here, so enter the palace and talk to Queen Aladima. She will tell you to come back with all four magic crystal balls so you can be trained as a genie. (How do you train a genie?) The palace is a maze, but the maze is pretty open and if you know what's in which corner of the area, you'll have an idea of where you should be going. The harp is in the area with the wooden walls above the throne room, the Blue Crystal is in the lowest part of the castle to the east of the throne room, and the Red Crystal is above the flights of stairs in the eastern-most part of the maze.

By talking to Queen Aladima, you'll be able to put the four Crystal Balls in the medallion she has for you. The Green Crystal goes up top, the Yellow Crystal goes to the left, the Blue Crystal goes to the right and the Red Crystal goes to the bottom. A selects and places, while the D-Pad moves the crystals.

From here, you'll play the easiest game of Tetris in the world to prove your abilities. Move the crystals that fall to the block with. The red crystals land on the clouds, the blue crystals land on the flames, the yellow crystals land on the brown rocks and the green crystal lands on the pink rocks. Remember this for later.

You'll now be a fully-trained genie, and you can now go to the Magical Forest. Meanwhile, Kardal hides the four lamps of Barbie's friends to ensure nobody gets their powers, since he cannot seem to get them for his own.
