IIRC the sega version was the superior one, is that true?

I think it's arguable. Laser Time did a video with them playing both side by side. It's a fun watch: https://youtu.be/_GpBHA5_bd0

It was one of the rare games where the Genesis version bested the SNES one. I had a genesis and always felt the sting of having the lesser-than version of everything and could only jealously read about the better SNES versions in gaming magazines.

I played the hell out of my genesis Aladdin cartridge though. Fantastic gameplay.

People say this, sometimes to the point of asserting that the SNES version is just a bad game.

It's not. They're both really good games.

I think it's debatable. Most people I know say it's the other way around.

Absolutely true.
