Released in December 1994, "The Lion King" proved to be a surprisingly good movie tie-in. The game features excellent stage variety and closely follows the movie plot. Simba is a dream to control, but this game is no pushover, featuring such obstacles as a ridiculously difficult monkey puzzle, a never ending chase scene, and an incredibly trying climb up a mile high waterfall.

Of all version that were realeased I chose to run the SNES version of the game. The reason is because I found a cheap cartridge for my american SNES.
This was one of the few games I had for my Mega drive (europen version of Genesis) Back in the days. Its a great disney game with just a few annoying parts.
I thought this would be a short but very hard run to do but I was wrong. Specially after I made the decision to take the red bugg thing so I can take one more hit. It's not more then a few seconds wasted there.
The first fight against two hyenas went well. Its hard to do it fast. My strategy were just to take damage and kill em fast. Also to get them togheter but thats hard here and I didn't succed immediately.
The worst I did in this stage were that I missed a life-filler-bugg. I spended some time trying to take it. Looks very bad, I know.
I hate this stones that cames falling now and then. They always comming down in different positions. I think their random but I'm not sure. One of the stones hit me when I hanged. I lost 5 seconds because of that =/ I also missed the little thing I should hang on after the second stone rush. I also failed when I should roll over two porcupines/Hedgehoges. So this wasn't very beutiful.
If you noticed, I punched in the air here and there. Sometimes I can prevent hanging off a cliff this way because your jumps will be a little higher when you punch.
It looks bad but take a lots of damage is the easiest and fastet way trough the first part of this stage.
I don't know what to say here. I killed scar pretty fast on the top too. But Its possible to kill him quicker =P
Special thanks goes to the TAS for some tricks. The current one by Danny "dan_" Fowler and Ouzo who did the first one. Also if there was other people behind the two movies.
