I learned that data was on the top side at a very young age. I put a sticker on top of a CD and a couple years later peeled it off and the image came off too. I tried to play the CD and realized my mistake. I think I was around 7. Luckily it was just kid’s Christmas songs and nothing important lol.
Some cutesy games that I found.
GBA:
MegaDrive:
SNES:
The Great Circus Mystery game was one of my favorites to play with my younger brother. It has an amazing 2 player mode where a second player can join at any time, which probably doesn’t help in this case, but it’s a great game to play together. Similar mechanics and style: The Magical Quest Starring Mickey Mouse. These 2 games (and the third game) are also on the GBA and listed above as Disney’s Magical Quest 1, 2, and 3.
I’ve only personally played Ariel the Little Mermaid and Great Circus Mystery, all of the others I just now opened to get an idea of how they play to see if they’re cute. If many of these don’t fit the bill, I at least highly recommend the Magical Quest ones on either system. I hope this helps your search.
