me too but for different reason. Mine was a demo version and I was super young so didn't get the concept of 'demo' so I thought that's the whole game and it end at stage 1

*the sun touches Simba's penis* Simba: Hey Dad is this our kingdom? Mufasa: Um...erm… *the sun then goes to touch Nala's happy place* Simba: How about that? Is THAT our kingdom? *Mufasa facepaws and walks away*
I don't get how anyone made this game, knowing it was going to be targeted towards kids, and said "You know, instead of fun, let's just CRUSH THEIR SPIRITS!!"
Because when we were kids we weren't mollycoddled by things that gave us instant satisfaction with very little challenge. Games weren't released in the hundreds like today, a major release was maybe, twice, three times a year and those things had to last. If parents bought games that kids were bored of in a week or so they'd complain about being ripped off.
I didn't think this game was particularly hard, I remember it was one I could beat, so that sets it apart. Once you learned the tricks it was all about execution, which was still somewhat difficult and required practice. That's why kids who grew up playing these games are pretty good at about any game they pick up. My only gripe was that the geyser room had no intuitive progression or indicator that you need to knock down the rocks hanging from the ceiling to continue. I honestly thought I had a broken cartridge for a long long time and was stuck in that Geyser room for years until I learned the secret. If you want soul crushing, go play Donkey Kong Country 2 or Super Star Wars. Or go play some other broken ass game that there were no shortage of in the 16bit era. Sure this game had some choke points, almost every game back then did, but even little 6-8 year olds became good gamers because there was typically no way to cheat your way past those challenges, save for game genie. Kids today wouldn't have the patience, they need autosave points everywhere or they'll just cheat code or quit.

@ You're complete shit then, mate. I beat this game when I was 9. Took me about a week all in all. And I wasn't even that good at video games. lol In fact I had only 3 games for my SNES back then: this one, Super Mario World and Desert Strike and this was the very first game I beat out of the three.

kosmosyche you’re a fucking turd bud. I guarantee you that you didn’t get past level 1 and that’s a fact
This game was so hard. I found out there was an invincible code you could put in and it was the only way I could beat it haha level ones music is so relaxing and nostalgic, I love it. ❤️ I remember my mom used to let me rent this game from Blockbuster. Oh, how I miss the ‘90s.
Okay but can we talk about how outrunning that boulder at 38:36 is near on impossible? Gets me every single time. The fact I completed this game once when I was a child was one of my greatest achievements - I’m thinking of putting it in my resumè... Disney games were soul crushing.
I remember how disappointed I was because of the ending. It was a hard game and all you get in the end is Simba looking around and roaring three times. I thought there would be a scene with his friends and family. Something more...
lol. Scar and his evil was just scary as hell. I often listened to the soundtrack at night and "be prepared" was a scary song to me, yup scared of music on a cassette tape lol. Oh to be 6. The scar connotations stuck us deep apparently.

I couldn’t get past the 2nd level when I was I think 8 years old. It’s nice to see the game in its entirety. The graphics reminds me of the game Warlock especially the Elephant Graveyard and Be Prepared levels.
Man! I remember being able to pass level 2 back when I was a kid, but years later as an adult, I couldn’t even get pass level 2 when I came back to play this game all over again.

Before Virgin and Westwood had to develop the game, Capcom (who was at that time, the exclusive licensee for Disney's games on Nintendo consoles) was originally planning on to do a game based on Disney's "The Lion King" for SNES, but because Capcom was not interested in the concept, and losing the rights to publish a Disney game for Nintendo consoles, it was scrapped, and hired Virgin to replace Capcom, in order to start a game from scratch, and hired Westwood Studios, fresh off "Young Merlin" to develop "The Lion King", and the end result is this game, who was released in 1994.
Me and my family stayed up on a Thursday, school the next day in which they agreed we can have a day off, we ordered pizza and stayed up until like 4am playing this, furthest we got was the level after the one where you run from the animals I'm the canyon, my brothers were the ones who mostly did that, but I was just amazed at seeing it, knowing I'd never see that level again on my own hahaha good times
It may be one of the hardest games ever made, but you can't deny how good it is for a licensed tie-in. The graphics are very colorful, the sprite work and character animations look amazing and the soundtrack sounds *_very_* close to the movie.
I think the difficulty is a little overrated. The second level has that obnoxious jump, but when you know to jump right before the pig on the ground then you can do it every time without fail. The third level is very difficult and the sixth level has that incredibly obnoxious waterfall, but there are tricks that you can repeat each time to beat them. The final level is impossible until you know what to do and then it's very easy. You have to "pounce" on Scar and you can kill him without fail every time. I think the problem is that the game never had a proper guide to explain the mechanics, like for example the waterfall on level 6 has a trick where you can jump in a specific pattern and get up there in ten seconds, but nobody knows what it is except maybe me and a few other people who bothered to figure it out.
The logs have a pattern where you can jump up one of them straight up, then jump to a slow moving log, then back to the one where you can double up. It took me an hour to figure out but I can do it everytime now.
Man how I miss these days. It's better than what's going on today. I felt like I was in Paradise during those times, even when I think about it now #2020
I remember renting this game on SNES a long time ago and playing it. Never got farther than the “Simba’s Exile” level. And this is just my opinion, but the music and sounds in the SNES version isn’t bad. Nice sampling of the chant vocals (hear “Circle Of Life,” from the game’s title screens, as an example).
My brother and I beat this game in 95 after I was recovering from a surgery on my little black and white tv in my room. First time I saw this, and all my Super NES games, in color I was floored. The SNES graphics are some of the most colorful and beautifully astounding graphics I've seen in games. Sega, too, but not like this.
Fun fact: Westwood Studios also made the Command and Conquer series. The former staff of Westwood is also remastering the first 2 Command and Conquer games.
I never beat Level 8. Using a level select code, I tried Level 9, Simba's return, but I got hopelessly lost. Level 10 isn't that hard though, and I managed to beat it. To be honest, I would love to have a full-fledged remake of this game, preferably with these things: - A save file system, meaning unlimited continues. - Being able to carry more than just nine lives. - Highly detailed graphics while staying true to the original animation style. - Scenes from the actual movie inbetween levels, as well as some cutscenes in the levels themselves like when you find the first hyena. - Level 8 "Be Prepared" being removed, because nowhere in the movie was Simba in a lava cave. I guess Virgin made a stupidly hard level just to challenge the player to their absolute limits. - Sound effects when Simba jumps. - A cool quick-time event in the final moments, when you finish Scar off. Great work on that longplay. I would never try to beat the game on Hard, because you start with zero extra lives, and enemies you face as young Simba take three hits to defeat. Speaking of which, young Simba is just so cute. It's such a bummer that he had such an awful uncle who tried to wipe him out of existence. I always get heart pain when I watch that movie scene with the stampede... 😢
at about 24:00 I used to love that when you paused the console, the waterfall kept moving, lol. I don't know if the Genesis version did the same, but man, I was, like, 6 playing this and remember I had my first headache from playing this way too long, lol. Good ol' times gone too soon.
FINALLY!! I made it. I beat the game! I bought a snes like 3 months ago. It didnt really take 3 months because i started trying to beat more games at the same time. But i invested many hours for sure! Its all about the grind like many other things, you will get better.. I struggled with level 2 in the start. But now im so much better until the very end. Remember to grab the suns and extra lives nut most importantlyso you have alot to practice with. I remember before each level i thought to myself "Ok, im never gonna make this level" And after a while i got it like nothing. And then i remember thinking the same at the next level. Now its time for the jungle book (Which is equally hard according to other people). Good luck
I thought somewhere at 25:10 or after Simba should have turned into an adult since this is the end of the level and Simba became an adult at the end of the Hakuna Matata song.
Thank you to take me back when i was 9 years old. I didnt get it to the end, just failed about 1 level before. But now i know how it ends and that makes me happy! So the good will win over the evil in this world. Tashi Delek!
That darn waterfall with the logs is FREAKING IMPOSSIBLE! Last time I spent almost a day on it and still couldn't get all the way up. Not even the infinite lives trainer will help there.
The Ps4 Xbox One and Switch version ad a rewind button. I used that button an insane amount of times playing through this game. It was designed to absolutely murder you. It took me 6 minutes to get up the waterfall, and that's with the rewind button.
There is a log near the left center that lets you jump straight up to another log. Go from that one, to other logs until you see that one again, and use it and you will get up every time.
I'm gonna say it: the Genesis version's sound design and music is LEAGUES ahead of the SNES'. The drum sound they used for jumping on an enemy and the enemy-death "poof" don't sound nearly as clean or punchy, and the "meow" sound for Cub-Simba's roar just doesn't fit at all. There also seem to be a lot of sounds missing, like entire segments of the ostrich running in level 2 - with no footsteps. Now I know that a lot of it is just due to the limitations of the hardware, but it really does make it stand out that for how finicky the Sega Genesis' sound chip could be - it really did _shine_ when someone knew how to use it.
I'm usually taking Genesis side in "Genesis vs. SNES" war, but this game looks fantastic on SNES. It's not that it doesn't look cool on Genesis, but this version has better sound and animation is really smooth. I wonder how it felt, to play a Disney cartoon on your TV back in 90's.
defo doesn't have better sound are you mad! Normally snes hardware is better but the whole thing sounds weak on here, never seen it on snes til now but man the mega drive (genesis) killed it for this game
My family and I worked so hard to get through this game, but we always got stuck at the waterfall. But I finally managed to pass it after figuring out its sequence. After that, I finished it multiple times. I had moments where I would holler, "Scar!" when I saw him at the end of Elephant Graveyard and the hyenas yelling, "If you ever come back, we'll kill ya!" Plus, I would always yell, "I beat Scar!" at the end every time. The Stampede level and the Waterfall were usually the hardest, though Simba's Return with all the caverns annoyed me too. The Stampede level seemed to go with the beat of the music, my mother said. But I could never get past the Timone and Pumbaa levels. 😂 I miss this game so much. ❤️
Snes have a more sample - based sound engine. Sega have a more fm-based engine that sounds more full and powerful but not as "realistic" as snes. I perfer sega as a whole. I love how they used snes sound engine in super mario world and kirbys dream course. Not so much in super star wars etc
For anyone who finds this hard: 1. Play the genesis version where your screen isnt shifting all over the place. and 2. play on easy mode(9 lives). This will take away 60% of the cruelty. From then on its a basic exercise in trial and error slowly improving your skills.
At the end when Simba threw Scar off the ledge, I thought it was supposed to show Scar landing without being injured and then the hyenas killed and/or ate him since that's what happened in the movie.
As a 7 year old I played through this game over and over. I never knew people found it so hard. The only problem I ever had was not understanding how the Scar battle actually works. Eventually I just managed to throw him off the cliff.
Why does the double jumping part in level 2 hard you might ask? Well, it’s because when jump the second when you get out of the ostrich you fall to your doom (One small mistake can *i n s t a n t l y* kill you).
This is one of, if not the hardest game for SNES!!! Great game though. This one is super hard but so is toy story, and pitfall and some donkeykong levels and aladdin. Dennis the menace is really hard too? Beethoven gets really hard after level 4.
I will say that this was a very good run of the game, but it is not quite 100%. You missed a blue bug that extends simbas roar bar in the elephant graveyard. at 12:42 there is a ledge that you can jump to on the upper right, there you have to roll through the wall and it takes you to a hidden path where the bug and a vulture are. You can see the exit of this path at 13:03
I noticed this too, but I think he capped out everything with the last health increase on Hakuna Matata, blue bugs are basically worthless unless you miss them all. But you're right, there were a few misses.
This is the story of a little penguin named Mumble who has a terrible singing voice and later discovers he has no Heartsong. However, Mumble has an astute talent for something that none of the penguins had ever seen before: tap dancing. Though Mumble's mom, Norma Jean, thinks this little habit is cute, his dad, Memphis, says it "just ain't penguin." Besides, they both know that, without a Heartsong, Mumble may never find true love. As fate would have it, his one friend, Gloria, happens to be the best singer around. Mumble and Gloria have a connection from the moment they hatch, but she struggles with his strange "hippity- hoppity" ways. Mumble is just too different--especially for Noah the Elder, the stern leader of Emperor Land, who ultimately casts him out of the community. Away from home for the first time, Mumble meets a posse of decidedly un-Emperor-like penguins--the Adelie Amigos. Led by Ramon, the Adelies instantly embrace Mumble's cool dance moves and invite him to party with them. In Adelie Land, Mumble seeks the counsel of Lovelace the Guru, a crazy-feathered Rockhopper penguin who will answer any of life's questions for the price of a pebble. Together with Lovelace and the Amigos, Mumble sets out across vast landscapes and, after some epic encounters, proves that by being true to yourself, you can make all the difference in the world.
*Spoilers do not read this if you haven't watched The Lion King yet!!* In the movie, I wonder why Pride Rock became a wasteland when Scar became king. (After murdering his brother Mufasa that is.) Was it because the hyenas ate waaaay too much? In the "Be Prepared" song when Scar tells the hyenas that he's going to kill Mufasa and Simba and when Scar is going to become king he tells the hyenas that they'll never become hungry again. Scar is deceitful and that's why the hyenas killed him in the climax when he lied to Simba that the hyenas made up that plan to murder Mufasa.
Yes, the hyenas ate way too much. Also, they didn't attack Scar because they started starving, they were still loyal until the idiot scrapegoated them for his wrongdoings.
I showed my daughter this and told her, this was my first ever game i played when i was 7 and it was on a super nintendo. The first console my parents bought me.. damn that was ages ago
***** If you look at the actual specs, the SNES is superior (unless you take into account the 32x, which brings it up to better than the SNES in specs... although not too many games had 32x support... and then the Sega CD, which makes it over twice as good but has very few games) The SNES also has better music and supports voices as a general rule, typically using compressed WAV files instead of the Genesis' "Midi" approach. Also, it has 8 sound channels where the genesis has 6... another reason for the "midi" approach. The 32x evens this out to 8, and adding the Sega CD adds another 8 for a total of 16. Very, very few genesis games take advantage of the 8 channels, let alone the full 16 with both peripherals on the Genesis... Though, the ones that do also take advantages of the superior graphics the 32x and / or CD provides. As a result, for most games, the SNES is superior in every way for potential. This doesn't mean that I prefer many games on it, just that 90% or more games developed cross-platform had superior graphics and sound quality on the SNES. Take Aladdin for example: The games are different cross platform, and I personally much prefer the Genesis one... this doesn't mean the graphics and sound in the SNES one aren't better.
One thing that the Genesis has is a faster processor. Why Nintendo didn't out do Sega on this I don't know, because the SNES came out later. Having a faster processor goes a long way.
***** But not when the graphics processor is worse (I think it was something like 16 on screen at a time from a 512 color pallet on the genesis, something like twice that on snes) and the sound is forced to be lower quality through less available sound channels on a shorter response frequency. it CAN help, but in this particular case it doesn't.

I think the difficulty is a little overrated. The second level has that obnoxious jump, but when you know to jump right before the pig on the ground then you can do it every time without fail. The third level is very difficult and the sixth level has that incredibly obnoxious waterfall, but there are tricks that you can repeat each time to beat them. The final level is impossible until you know what to do and then it's very easy. You have to "pounce" on Scar and you can kill him without fail every time. I think the problem is that the game never had a proper guide to explain the mechanics, like for example the waterfall on level 6 has a trick where you can jump in a specific pattern and get up there in ten seconds, but nobody knows what it is except maybe me and a few other people who bothered to figure it out.
The ending was epic. "Every thing the light touches is our kingdom ". Then the thunder. Then "can you feel" plays.
the second level was nightmare for me. i couldn't finish it so i sold the game
I like the part where Simba goes "Cool!"
B. Lonewolf that's because he is.
Oh wow the memories. I don't think I've ever made it past the logs in the Hakuna Matata level.
The logs have a pattern where you can jump up one of them straight up, then jump to a slow moving log, then back to the one where you can double up. It took me an hour to figure out but I can do it everytime now.
Man how I miss these days. It's better than what's going on today. I felt like I was in Paradise during those times, even when I think about it now #2020
Anyone got any idea on how to catch the bug at 13:03?
Edit: Drop down the left ledge at 14:00 and roll through the wall to get a blue roar-bug.

What The Roar Of Simba Is The Voice As The Cat Meow
When you spend like an hour on level 2 until you realize that meowing at the pink monkies makes them turn.
26:12
You can actually roll the rock back at the gorilla and hits it too. But it's risky as you roll too near to it and it will bitchslap you.
I remember renting this game on SNES a long time ago and playing it. Never got farther than the “Simba’s Exile” level.
And this is just my opinion, but the music and sounds in the SNES version isn’t bad. Nice sampling of the chant vocals (hear “Circle Of Life,” from the game’s title screens, as an example).
I was so happy when I first learned how to beat level two.
My brother and I beat this game in 95 after I was recovering from a surgery on my little black and white tv in my room. First time I saw this, and all my Super NES games, in color I was floored. The SNES graphics are some of the most colorful and beautifully astounding graphics I've seen in games. Sega, too, but not like this.
Fun fact: Westwood Studios also made the Command and Conquer series. The former staff of Westwood is also remastering the first 2 Command and Conquer games.
I never beat Level 8. Using a level select code, I tried Level 9, Simba's return, but I got hopelessly lost. Level 10 isn't that hard though, and I managed to beat it.
To be honest, I would love to have a full-fledged remake of this game, preferably with these things:
- A save file system, meaning unlimited continues.
- Being able to carry more than just nine lives.
- Highly detailed graphics while staying true to the original animation style.
- Scenes from the actual movie inbetween levels, as well as some cutscenes in the levels themselves like when you find the first hyena.
- Level 8 "Be Prepared" being removed, because nowhere in the movie was Simba in a lava cave. I guess Virgin made a stupidly hard level just to challenge the player to their absolute limits.
- Sound effects when Simba jumps.
- A cool quick-time event in the final moments, when you finish Scar off.
Great work on that longplay. I would never try to beat the game on Hard, because you start with zero extra lives, and enemies you face as young Simba take three hits to defeat.
Speaking of which, young Simba is just so cute. It's such a bummer that he had such an awful uncle who tried to wipe him out of existence. I always get heart pain when I watch that movie scene with the stampede... 😢
Got you something!!! TM!!!! 🎮... 🎁
I wouldn't want a remake of this game, it's a product of its time
at about 24:00 I used to love that when you paused the console, the waterfall kept moving, lol. I don't know if the Genesis version did the same, but man, I was, like, 6 playing this and remember I had my first headache from playing this way too long, lol. Good ol' times gone too soon.
That fucking waterfall and logs.
There's a set of logs in the center that come in pairs, if you stick to those you can reliably climb up.
Stuck there right now lol
My favorite game when i was 13
FINALLY!! I made it. I beat the game! I bought a snes like 3 months ago. It didnt really take 3 months because i started trying to beat more games at the same time. But i invested many hours for sure! Its all about the grind like many other things, you will get better.. I struggled with level 2 in the start. But now im so much better until the very end. Remember to grab the suns and extra lives nut most importantlyso you have alot to practice with. I remember before each level i thought to myself "Ok, im never gonna make this level" And after a while i got it like nothing. And then i remember thinking the same at the next level. Now its time for the jungle book (Which is equally hard according to other people). Good luck
Wonderful Game!! My childhood!! Thank you for Uploading!!
I thought somewhere at 25:10 or after Simba should have turned into an adult since this is the end of the level and Simba became an adult at the end of the Hakuna Matata song.
Thank you to take me back when i was 9 years old. I didnt get it to the end, just failed about 1 level before. But now i know how it ends and that makes me happy! So the good will win over the evil in this world. Tashi Delek!
Got you something!!! TM!!!! 🎮... 🎁
I used to play this on the Genesis and I have to say that the sounds on the Genesis are much better than those for the SNES.
That darn waterfall with the logs is FREAKING IMPOSSIBLE! Last time I spent almost a day on it and still couldn't get all the way up. Not even the infinite lives trainer will help there.
The Ps4 Xbox One and Switch version ad a rewind button. I used that button an insane amount of times playing through this game. It was designed to absolutely murder you. It took me 6 minutes to get up the waterfall, and that's with the rewind button.
There is a log near the left center that lets you jump straight up to another log. Go from that one, to other logs until you see that one again, and use it and you will get up every time.
Memories! What a beautiful game based off of the movie!
I'm gonna say it: the Genesis version's sound design and music is LEAGUES ahead of the SNES'. The drum sound they used for jumping on an enemy and the enemy-death "poof" don't sound nearly as clean or punchy, and the "meow" sound for Cub-Simba's roar just doesn't fit at all. There also seem to be a lot of sounds missing, like entire segments of the ostrich running in level 2 - with no footsteps.
Now I know that a lot of it is just due to the limitations of the hardware, but it really does make it stand out that for how finicky the Sega Genesis' sound chip could be - it really did _shine_ when someone knew how to use it.
Used to play when I was 11 tough never got past level 2
Found it again and I am 24 now it's been a long journey old friend.❤
I'm usually taking Genesis side in "Genesis vs. SNES" war, but this game looks fantastic on SNES. It's not that it doesn't look cool on Genesis, but this version has better sound and animation is really smooth. I wonder how it felt, to play a Disney cartoon on your TV back in 90's.
defo doesn't have better sound are you mad! Normally snes hardware is better but the whole thing sounds weak on here, never seen it on snes til now but man the mega drive (genesis) killed it for this game
Felt great
Genesis version is way better bro
My family and I worked so hard to get through this game, but we always got stuck at the waterfall. But I finally managed to pass it after figuring out its sequence. After that, I finished it multiple times. I had moments where I would holler, "Scar!" when I saw him at the end of Elephant Graveyard and the hyenas yelling, "If you ever come back, we'll kill ya!" Plus, I would always yell, "I beat Scar!" at the end every time. The Stampede level and the Waterfall were usually the hardest, though Simba's Return with all the caverns annoyed me too. The Stampede level seemed to go with the beat of the music, my mother said. But I could never get past the Timone and Pumbaa levels. 😂 I miss this game so much. ❤️
Man this was one of the best sega games made. Took forever to beat lol
You mean nintendo? This is a SNES game...
No I mean Sega Genesis! This is also a Sega game...
But you comment this on a SNES video when the Genesis video exists??
+Nik Geekdom No Is Snes Version of the game
Look it doesnt matter if the video exist or not,,, I had it for Sega Genesis! Why do you even care???Google it!!!
the music is something i enjoyed thoroughly
2020 who stills plays this game in 2020 it’s almost brand new year ?
Oh man the PC version msdos I used to have was one of the first PC games I had!
I have never made it past the second stage.
This video has literally made justice for my 5 years old self
I was watching the Genesis version and the music and sound effects are terrible. The SNES version is where it's at. So much nostalgia watching this.
crazy bc I feel the exact opposite hah. Subjective I spose, snes sounds weak to me
Snes have a more sample - based sound engine. Sega have a more fm-based engine that sounds more full and powerful but not as "realistic" as snes. I perfer sega as a whole. I love how they used snes sound engine in super mario world and kirbys dream course. Not so much in super star wars etc
For anyone who finds this hard: 1. Play the genesis version where your screen isnt shifting all over the place. and 2. play on easy mode(9 lives). This will take away 60% of the cruelty. From then on its a basic exercise in trial and error slowly improving your skills.
I could never make it passed that damn ostrich riding part
Got you something!!! TM!!!! 🎮... 🎁
Did you pickup all the health and roar upgrades in this play through?
At the end when Simba threw Scar off the ledge, I thought it was supposed to show Scar landing without being injured and then the hyenas killed and/or ate him since that's what happened in the movie.
As a 7 year old I played through this game over and over. I never knew people found it so hard. The only problem I ever had was not understanding how the Scar battle actually works. Eventually I just managed to throw him off the cliff.
Same got stuck there for a long time then by accident I threw him off !
Why does the double jumping part in level 2 hard you might ask? Well, it’s because when jump the second when you get out of the ostrich you fall to your doom (One small mistake can *i n s t a n t l y* kill you).
This game made me cry so much when I was little

This is one of, if not the hardest game for SNES!!! Great game though. This one is super hard but so is toy story, and pitfall and some donkeykong levels and aladdin. Dennis the menace is really hard too? Beethoven gets really hard after level 4.
I think Aladdin was harder
0:11 stage 1
4:43 stage 2
9:21 stage 3
17:10 stage 4
18:42 stage 5
21:36 stage 6
28:37 stage 7
35:14 stage 8
45:45 stage 9
I will say that this was a very good run of the game, but it is not quite 100%. You missed a blue bug that extends simbas roar bar in the elephant graveyard. at 12:42 there is a ledge that you can jump to on the upper right, there you have to roll through the wall and it takes you to a hidden path where the bug and a vulture are. You can see the exit of this path at 13:03
I noticed this too, but I think he capped out everything with the last health increase on Hakuna Matata, blue bugs are basically worthless unless you miss them all. But you're right, there were a few misses.
the sound effects are much better than sega genisis
So are the graphics.

Nice to see what’s past level 4
Thank you for letting me finally see past level 2. XD

I played this game and could NEVER EVER see whats behind the level 3
This is the story of a little penguin named Mumble who has a terrible singing voice and later discovers he has no Heartsong. However, Mumble has an astute talent for something that none of the penguins had ever seen before: tap dancing. Though Mumble's mom, Norma Jean, thinks this little habit is cute, his dad, Memphis, says it "just ain't penguin." Besides, they both know that, without a Heartsong, Mumble may never find true love. As fate would have it, his one friend, Gloria, happens to be the best singer around. Mumble and Gloria have a connection from the moment they hatch, but she struggles with his strange "hippity- hoppity" ways. Mumble is just too different--especially for Noah the Elder, the stern leader of Emperor Land, who ultimately casts him out of the community. Away from home for the first time, Mumble meets a posse of decidedly un-Emperor-like penguins--the Adelie Amigos. Led by Ramon, the Adelies instantly embrace Mumble's cool dance moves and invite him to party with them. In Adelie Land, Mumble seeks the counsel of Lovelace the Guru, a crazy-feathered Rockhopper penguin who will answer any of life's questions for the price of a pebble. Together with Lovelace and the Amigos, Mumble sets out across vast landscapes and, after some epic encounters, proves that by being true to yourself, you can make all the difference in the world.
Hey Timom, what happens when you push the power button on the SNES?

*Spoilers do not read this if you haven't watched The Lion King yet!!*
In the movie, I wonder why Pride Rock became a wasteland when Scar became king. (After murdering his brother Mufasa that is.) Was it because the hyenas ate waaaay too much?
In the "Be Prepared" song when Scar tells the hyenas that he's going to kill Mufasa and Simba and when Scar is going to become king he tells the hyenas that they'll never become hungry again. Scar is deceitful and that's why the hyenas killed him in the climax when he lied to Simba that the hyenas made up that plan to murder Mufasa.
trickery got him nowhere in the last duel, at least.
Yeah basically they over-hunted & the remaining herds left which messed up the balance of the ecosystem. I guess Scar failed biology!
Hence the reason betrayal cannot be forgiven; he is now nothing but ash and bone.
who hadn't watch that movie? ._.
Yes, the hyenas ate way too much. Also, they didn't attack Scar because they started starving, they were still loyal until the idiot scrapegoated them for his wrongdoings.
Incredible audio quality
Wow just wow 😭😭😭😭😭 my childhood is real omg
That slap sound still gets me
what heck that lava stage has to do with the movie?
there no vulcan scene in the movie.
Filler.
Miss playing this march 2023❤
Back to the time when videos games was simple
Level 6 was too hard for me 😥 never passed out that round
I just realized I haven't even passed the first level 😭
I showed my daughter this and told her, this was my first ever game i played when i was 7 and it was on a super nintendo. The first console my parents bought me.. damn that was ages ago
This game was so much fun and so stressful at the same time!’ My anxiety stems from this game and Earthworm Jim 😂😂
Ils ont enfin sorti ce bijou sur Xone. Bientôt sur Ps4.
C'est vraiment chaud !
Le platine est assez Hard ^^
En tout cas, super performance 👍👏
How long did you have to practice this to beat it with no damage?

Music here isn't as good as the Genesis.
It doesn't have the octave change for "Can't Wait to be King", like the Genesis one did.
The SNES and Genesis are very similar. Both are 16 bit consoles.
*****
If you look at the actual specs, the SNES is superior (unless you take into account the 32x, which brings it up to better than the SNES in specs... although not too many games had 32x support... and then the Sega CD, which makes it over twice as good but has very few games)
The SNES also has better music and supports voices as a general rule, typically using compressed WAV files instead of the Genesis' "Midi" approach.
Also, it has 8 sound channels where the genesis has 6... another reason for the "midi" approach. The 32x evens this out to 8, and adding the Sega CD adds another 8 for a total of 16.
Very, very few genesis games take advantage of the 8 channels, let alone the full 16 with both peripherals on the Genesis...
Though, the ones that do also take advantages of the superior graphics the 32x and / or CD provides.
As a result, for most games, the SNES is superior in every way for potential.
This doesn't mean that I prefer many games on it, just that 90% or more games developed cross-platform had superior graphics and sound quality on the SNES.
Take Aladdin for example: The games are different cross platform, and I personally much prefer the Genesis one... this doesn't mean the graphics and sound in the SNES one aren't better.
One thing that the Genesis has is a faster processor. Why Nintendo didn't out do Sega on this I don't know, because the SNES came out later. Having a faster processor goes a long way.
*****
But not when the graphics processor is worse (I think it was something like 16 on screen at a time from a 512 color pallet on the genesis, something like twice that on snes) and the sound is forced to be lower quality through less available sound channels on a shorter response frequency.
it CAN help, but in this particular case it doesn't.
Michael Piziak "having a faster processor goes a long way" long way for who? Last I checked, Sega makes games for Nintendo now
