The Lion King (Video Game) | comment |
A Platform Game based on Disney's The Lion King, developed by Westwood Studios and released by Virgin Interactive in 1994. The game has ten levels loosely following the plot (and the soundtrack) of the movie, the first six with Simba as a cub and the other four with the adult Simba.The game appeared on a variety of platforms, including both the Sega Genesis and the Super Nintendo Entertainment System; unlike with Aladdin, the two rival 16-bit consoles got what was essentially the same game, and telling which version was better could be a very close call. Other versions tended to leave stages out. Interestingly enough, this game received a PAL-exclusive port for the Nintendo Entertainment System of all platforms in 1995, with this port being the final game officially licensed and released for the system.On October 29, 2019, Nighthawk Interactive and Digital Eclipse re-released the SNES, Genesis, and Game Boynote with the option for the palette when played through Game Boy Color hardware versions of the game alongside Aladdin (the Genesis and Game Boynote with the option for the palette when played through Game Boy Color hardware versions) as part of an HD compilation called Disney Classic Games: Aladdin and the Lion King for Microsoft Windows (via Steam), PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch. Notably, this was released the same year as two widely successful live-action remakes of both films. Later, on September 23, 2021, Nighthawk Interactive announced that they would be releasing another compilation called Disney Classic Games Collection: Aladdin, The Lion King, and The Jungle Book, which includes all the aforementioned games, as well as Aladdin (the SNES Version), and the SNES, Sega Genesis, and Game Boynote No Game Boy Color palette option, unlike the other games versions of the The Jungle Book video game. (The initial compilation release will also have DLC adding The Jungle Book and Capcom's Aladdin.) This compilation was released on the PS4, Xbox One, Switch, and Windows on November 23, 2021. | |

"Get Back Here!" Boss | |
The Lion King (Video Game) / int_10f5b375 | comment |
"Get Back Here!" Boss: The gorilla in "Hakuna Matata" gradually ascends to higher ground as Simba damages it. Once Simba deals enough damage, the gorilla climbs up to a platform that crumbles beneath it, causing it to fall. The final showdown with Scar. He runs away after Simba deals enough damage the first two times, forcing Simba to chase him through Pride Rock in order to catch up with him and continue the fight. | |

Antepiece | |
The Lion King (Video Game) / int_13dcb20b | comment |
Antepiece: "Can't Wait to be King" has two ostrich riding segments. The first time, arrows will appear shortly before an obstacle to indicate whether to duck, jump or double jump, but there are no arrows to guide you the second time. "The Elephant Graveyard" has three segments where Simba must climb upward by jumping back and forth between ledges jutting out of the wall. There's no pressure the first time. The second time, however, a bottomless pit awaits you if you fall. The third time, you're being chased by geyser eruptions that will spell instant death if you don't haul it. | |

Unexpected Gameplay Change | |
The Lion King (Video Game) / int_1467a30c | comment |
Unexpected Gameplay Change: "The Stampede" is not the traditional platformer, but a race that requires avoiding wildebeests and uneven terrain. The Adult Simba levels count to a lesser extent, as the combat mechanics change from mere pouncing to actual combat with his claws. The pounce still works, it just deals damage over time rather than outright killing the enemy like young Simba's pounce does. In addition, the roar has actual combat use, to stun enemies and make it easier to flip them. | |

Darker and Edgier: Adult Simba's levels when compared to the rest of the game. They lack the lighthearted elements that were in young Simba's levels, and every single one of them involves a lot of Family-Unfriendly Violence where you maul large packs of enemies to death. | |

Adapted Out | |
The Lion King (Video Game) / int_33d5b7f2 | comment |
Adapted Out: Of the main cast, Nala is nowhere to be found in the game. Oddly her and Simba's romantic song "Can You Feel the Love Tonight" is still used in the end credits. note Averted in the DOS and Amiga version which used "Circle of Life" from the main menu instead. Also averted in the Master System and Game Gear versions, as she appears alongside Simba when you beat the game. Even though Timon and Pumbaa appear, Zazu doesn't show up at all. While there are generic hyena mooks as enemies in the game, Shenzi, Banzai and Ed do not actually appear. Banzai only gets his "If you ever come back, we'll kill ya" line in a cutscene. | |

Unintentionally Unwinnable | |
The Lion King (Video Game) / int_3ac5110b | comment |
Unintentionally Unwinnable: It's more than possible to accidentally softlock the game on the Can't Wait to be King level. If Simba doesn't land on the Ostrich pixel-perfectly, both he and the Ostrich run side-by-side together instead of the cub riding his feathery mount. It plays as hilariously as it looks until you reach the end of the riding section. Likewise, after an ostrich tosses you to a giraffe, and you jump backwards you'll be stuck in that spot indefinitely. The ostrich even disappears! This glitch also reveals that the ostrich segments are culled in, and aren't actually part of the main level layout. | |

Years later, one of the developers apologized on Reddit. On the bright side, pressing B+A+R+R+Y and 'Start' on the SNES controller (or Right+A+A+B and 'Start' on the Genesis controller) opens up a hidden menu that allows to toggle invulnerability on (as well as selecting the level). | |

Ledge Bats: These appear in the "Be Prepared" lava level: at one point you have to ride a river of lava on a floating rock. A very small rock. Any wrong move, and you fall in the lava and die. As you float further across the river, several bats awaken and try to hurt you. Being hurt pushes Simba back by about a meter, which is more than enough to make him fall into the lava. | |

One-Hit Kill: Colliding with an obstacle during the ostrich riding section of "Can't Wait to Be King", touching the geysers in the Elephant Graveyard, or getting caught by a boulder during one of the game's many Indy Escape segments will drop Simba in a single blow. On the flip side, Adult Simba's flip attack serves as this for his enemies, which otherwise take several hits to finish off. | |

Feathered Fiend: Besides hyenas, "The Elephant Graveyard" has vultures as enemies. Some stationed on the ground, others flying. | |

Shout-Out | |
The Lion King (Video Game) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The gorilla boss at the end of the "Hakuna Matata" level, climbing higher and higher while throwing coconuts Simba has to dodge, might be a Donkey Kong homage. A developer also said it was based on storyboarded character that was cut from the movie. | |

Poison Mushroom | |
The Lion King (Video Game) / int_cb5cf4a5 | comment |
Poison Mushroom: Some of the bug powerups deal damage when collected. Bombardier beetles deal a small amount of damage, and black widow spiders deal a large amount. Collecting any of these bugs during a bonus stage will also end the stage immediately. Two others are mentioned in the manual, but never appear during actual gameplay outside of bonus stages. | |

Serial Escalation | |
The Lion King (Video Game) / int_ce104b8e | comment |
"The Elephant Graveyard" has three segments where Simba must climb upward by jumping back and forth between ledges jutting out of the wall. There's no pressure the first time. The second time, however, a bottomless pit awaits you if you fall. The third time, you're being chased by geyser eruptions that will spell instant death if you don't haul it. | |

Bonus Stage | |
The Lion King (Video Game) / int_d35365c4 | comment |
Bonus Stage: Two types, featuring Timon, Pumbaa and bugs to collect. In Bug Toss, the player controls Pumbaa and moves left and right to catch bugs being thrown by Timon from a higher tree branch. If the player can last long enough, he might throw them an extra life or continue, but the stage instantly ends if the player accidentally catches a black widow, or if they drop any other bug. In Bug Hunt, the player controls Timon and explores a small platforming stage while collecting as many bugs as possible. Collecting enough will grant the player extra lives and continues. The stage ends when the timer runs out, but can also end early if Timon grabs a black widow. | |

Writing Around Trademarks: The Disney Classic Games collection refers to the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, and Game Boy Color as "Console S", "Console N", "Handheld", and "Handheld Color", respectively, due to the consoles' names being trademarks of their respective manufacturers. Even the Nintendo Switch version doesn't mention the Nintendo systems by name. | |

Tactical Suicide Boss | |
The Lion King (Video Game) / int_d6dee153 | comment |
Tactical Suicide Boss: A way to defeat the gorilla of "Hakuna Matata" is to deflect his coconuts at him by rolling and then jumping over him. Alternatively, time your jump so that you land on top of the coconut (which will deflect you and cause no damage) and then go for the boss mid-jump, which won't hit you if you do that. | |

Lethal Lava Land | |
The Lion King (Video Game) / int_d7d588c8 | comment |
Lethal Lava Land: Level 8, "Be Prepared". Somewhat odd as the level is not based on any scene in the actual movie, although it shares its name with one. Instead, it was apparently based on storyboards for a scene that was cut from the movie (wherein Simba dodged geysers on his way back to the Pridelands), due to the game being developed concurrently with the film. Regardless, it is a tough stage. | |

AmbiguousSpecies | |
The Lion King (Video Game) / int_ea169575 | comment |
Ambiguous Species: The enemy cats in the adult Simba levels. They are based on the cheetah from the beginning of the film, and the manual refers to them as cheetahs, but they are in a jungle instead of the savanna, are not shown to be particularly fast, and due to the color palette of the level they are first introduced in (Simba's Destiny) they are pale to the point of resembling snow leopards. This causes many players to be confused as to whether these enemies are cheetahs or not. | |

Killer Gorilla | |
The Lion King (Video Game) / int_eeb2d092 | comment |
Killer Gorilla: The boss in the "Hakuna Matata" level is a gorilla. He's a downplayed example: he's not actively attacking Simba, only throwing coconuts at Simba and swatting him away when he gets close because apparently he wants to be left alone. It doesn't stop him from being the toughest boss in the game. | |

Never Say "Die" | |
The Lion King (Video Game) / int_f51c5f3c | comment |
Never Say "Die": Notably averted twice; this is even the case in the SNES port, in what is a very rare occurrence for a Nintendo game of that era: A brief cutscene before "Simba's Exile" has Scar ordering Simba's death, like he does in the movie: "Kill him." At the end of the same level, Banzai yells "If you ever come back, we'll kill ya!" in another cutscene. | |
