The game isn’t all platforming as there are some puzzle solving elements as well. You can also participate in bonus levels playing as Timon and Pumba to gain extra lives.

Be careful, not all bugs offer positive effects. Simba can collect bugs that do everything from heal him to give him permanent power-ups.

Simba starts out able to jump and roar, but as he grows he learns more skills and combat moves. Little Simba needs to grow up fast and become stronger to one day come back and retake his rightful throne and marry his cousin (yes, Nala is his cousin). Scar winds up killing Mufasa (I still cry every time I watch the movie) and casts little Simba out from his home. Simba’s uncle Scar is jealous of his brother ascending instead of him, so he plots to usurp his brother’s kingdom. Just like in the movie, Simba starts out as a cub, the son of the King Mufasa. You play through the plot of the movie as Simba from cub to king. It was released for multiple platforms including the Amiga and DOS. The Lion King is the video game adaptation of the Disney movie with the same title and was developed by Westwood Studios and published by Virgin Interactive Entertainment in 1994.
