A blue bonus bug sits atop a tree in the upper-left comer of the Pridelands.

The easiest path is leaping to the right, then grabbing the left ledge, which gives you a head start for your climb.

Move quickly when you reach the cliff with the rising green water in the Elephant Graveyard.

Take the far-right cave in the first cave room in Simba's Return.

After you touch it, leap clear to avoid damage.

When you touch a small blue bug in the Pridelands, it'll explode.

In Simba's Exile, the biggest danger you encounter is falling rocks.

Jump the hippo, then immediately jump again. You must double jump whenever you run into an obstacle with a hippo and nests.

The ostrich ride's double jumps are tricky.

Munching blue bugs enables Simba to go to special bug bonus rounds that star Timon and Pumba, and I-ups and continues are abundant as well. Fortunately, bug-shaped power-ups are everywhere, and the feisty feline can use them to up his Life and Roar strength. Once he's used it, though, he must wait for it to replenish. Simba must monitor both his Life Bar and his Roar Meter since, in a very clever touch Simba uses his roar to scare off other critters.

The moves are fairly easy to pull off with the three-button Genesis control pad, though occasional glitches and imprecise jumps will make you snarl. Simba defends himself with an authentic repertoire of moves, including pounces, rolls, and snarls as a cub, and clawing, mauling, and a gigantic roar as an adult. In addition to Uncle Scar, Simba battles the hyena crew from the movie, as well as buzzards, assorted reptiles and bugs, cheetahs, and other jungle flora and fauna. The gorgeous scenery reflects the movie's animations, and each level is fraught with perilous and very creative obstacles - such as the animal stack in Can't Wait to Be King and the bone-breaking Elephant Graveyard. Climb up and across and avoid all that tail-swingin' stuff.Įach level mirrors a scene from the movie, including the race through the Elephant Graveyard, Simba's exile away from home, and the final battle with Scar.

At the left-hand edge of the stack, leap and grab the blue hippo's face. ProTip: In this version of Lion King, you can skip across the animal stack the easy way.
