The Lion King (ライオンキング) is a platform game developed by Westwood Studios, Virgin Interactive, and Dark Technologies, and published by Virgin Interactive, Walt Disney Computer Software, and Sega for the Sega Mega Drive, Sega Game Gear, Sega Master System, and several other consoles.

It is based on the 1994 Disney film of the same name and follows a similar story. Due to this, it was one of the first games that featured a protagonist that gets older during the game's progress. The gameplay also changes from mainly platforming to a more action oriented approach.

Although intended for children, the game was often criticized for its difficulty even with easier settings. Despite the difficulty, it was rated positively by reviewers and gamers alike.

Story

Simba, a young lion, is to succeed his father, Mufasa, as King of the Pride Lands. However, after Simba's paternal uncle Scar murders Mufasa to seize the throne, Simba is manipulated into thinking he was responsible and flees into exile. Simba must return to the Pride Lands and challenge Scar to end his tyranny and take his place in the Circle of Life as the rightful King.

Gameplay

Mega Drive version

The game is a platformer in which the player guides Simba through a series of stages representing scenes from the movie. Simba moves with and and jumps with . He automatically grabs ledges and pulls himself up them, and he can grab protruding rocks, bones, and other hooks and swing from them. He roars with . He has a roar meter that expends when he roars. When the meter is full, his roar damages enemies, but otherwise, it stuns them. The roar gauge replenishes when it is not used but empties when Simba takes damage. Simba defeats enemies by jumping on top of them. Some enemies (such as porcupines) hurt Simba if he jumps on them, but they can be flipped over by roaring at them. Simba can also perform a short rolling attack by pressing or while running, which can be used to attack enemies and to traverse certain obstacles.

Simba grows into an adult lion in the stage Simba's Destiny, which makes him lose the ability to roll but gives other extra abilities. Simba can now perform a slash attack with . He mauls an enemy by jumping on it and quickly tapping . He can also flip enemies by pressing and then in quick succession. If a Six Button Control Pad is connected, he can flip enemies with , , or .

Simba has a health meter that goes down as he takes damage from enemies or hazards. He loses a chance when he loses all of his health. The game ends if he runs out of chances but can be continued as long as the player has continues remaining.

The game has three difficulty levels (Easy, Normal, and Difficult).

Items

	Plain Beetle
	Restores half of Simba's health.
	Patterned Beetle
	Restores all of Simba's health.
	African Red Beetle
	Extends Simba's maximum health.
	Blue Beetle
	Extends Simba's roar gauge.
	Bombardier Beetle
	Causes a small amount damage to Simba. Also ends bonus levels.
	Dragonfly
	Causes moderate damage to Simba. Also ends bonus levels.
	Spider
	Causes a large amount of damage to Simba. Also ends bonus levels.
	Fly
	Makes Simba lose the ability to roar for a short time. Also ends bonus levels.
	Continue Marker
	Checkpoint where Simba is revived after losing a chance.
	1 Up
	Awards an extra chance, up to a maximum of 9.
	Circle of Life
	Awards a continue.

Levels

	The Pridelands

	Can't Wait to be King
	The second level in The Lion King is one of the hardest the game has to offer, specifically designed to appease management at Disney who wanted a longer game. This call came too late in development for the team to add new levels, so this stage saw its difficulty increase significantly, meaning it would take longer to complete. The reasoning is thought to be behind Disney's approach to the rental market. Disney had set specific metrics regarding how far an average player should have progressed in a set period of time; if a game was too easy, the user would be less likely to buy the full retail product.
	The Elephant Graveyard

	The Stampede

	Simba's Exile

	Hakuna Matata

	Simba's Destiny
	Simba's return to the Pridelands was cut from the final draft of the film. However, as the game was made in conjunction with the script, these levels were produced before the decision was made. Reportedly, Virgin Games had to fight to keep them in the final product, as Disney wanted the game to be as true to the film as possible.
	Be Prepared

	Simba's Return

	Pride Rock

Bonus levels

After each level, the player is given the opportunity to play a bonus mini-game featuring Timon and Pumbaa to earn bonus items. There are two types of bonus levels to play, which alternate between levels:

	Bug Toss
	The player controls Pumbaa, who must catch the bugs dropped by Timon. He moves with or . If Pumbaa eats a bad bug or lets a good bug or special item fall to the ground, the level ends. If the player is in a pinch, Pumbaa can belch with , which clears all on-screen bugs, though this can only be done once per bonus level.
	Bug Hunt
	The player controls Timon, who must navigate a short platforming level to collect as many good bugs and special items as possible while avoiding the bad bugs. Timon can move with or and jump with . Running out of time or collecting a bad bug ends the bonus level.

Master System and Game Gear versions

The game is a platformer where the player controls Simba, initially as a lion cub and later as an adult. Simba moves with and and jumps with . Simba defeats enemies by jumping on top of them. He automatically pulls himself up ledges and grabs protruding rocks to swing from them. He roars with , which initially stuns enemies but can be upgraded to damage them. Young Simba can also perform a short rolling attack by pressing or while running. Adult Simba loses his ability to roll but can slash at enemies by holding the D-Pad in a direction while pressing or by pressing in midair.

Simba's health is depicted by three "Circles of Life" in the corner of the screen. He loses a chance when he loses all of his health. The game ends if he runs out of chances but can be continued as long as the player has continues remaining.

The game has three difficulty levels (Cub, Lion Prince, and Lion King).
