same, everytime i would rent this game at the store, i would convince myself that it wasnt so bad....and then die all weekend in the monkey sections to ultimately return the game and feel like i wasted my whole weekend for nothing lol...good times! And just to add salt to the wound, there were some previews of the gameplay at the beginning if you don't touch the controller for a while, and you would see that you can grow old and attack, so of course as a kid u wanted to reach that point but nope! It was just mpossible.
second level was tricky. The ostrich part I gave me the most trouble. The monkey part was just a bit of trial and error to work out which ones you needed to trigger
I would be so fascinated to have somebody who's never seen or heard of the lion king sit down, play this game through, and then have them explain their understanding of the story.
I had way more difficulty with Toy Story for the SNES than this. Don't get me wrong this game is ballbustingly difficult, but I can still pick it up after a few years and casually beat it. Took me years to beat Toy Story, I beat this over the course of a summer. Wish I had a way of recording me playing it. I'm not as good at this guy but I'm pretty good at it
@@Telcontar86 Toy Story is more about patience. If you take your time, most levels aren't too hard. The ones that will really destroy you are the RC and auto scrolling ones.
@@benjamincrew1949 I agree, although I'd add determination to that patience. The only reason I eventually beat it was because I sat down and said to myself that no other 2D platformer has beaten me long term but this so I'm beating it now LOL. The escape from Sids room level is practically satanic. It makes Roar at the Monkey's ostrich challenges look like a cakewalk.
@@Telcontar86 Yes, I actually just commented not too long ago that escaping from Scud is absolutely the most difficult section in the game. It's all memorization because there's no way to react in time to the things coming at you.
@@mekverseedits How did you learn the monkey part? Once I figured that out after years of playing on and off, the game was pretty easy yeah. But it was hundreds of attempts at the monkeys before I got it
I never played this game never owned it never had the things for it cuz i was born in the 2000 nds and e few years later i was born and im 11 so its obius that i never had played this
I can't beat the log jump in Hakuna Matata.After more than 2 decades, this is the first time i'm seeing then orangutan boss. You can't see that even when you input the BARRY cheat.
Instant nostalgia! I used love running home from the bus and playing this game as a kid. By my estimate, it’s been about 26 years since the last time I played. Watching this video brings back instant memories of my childhood. Amazing! PS - never made it to pride rock but I was a lot closer to beating the game than I thought
I played this on the PC with my lil' bro in the early 90s. I had no idea this game was so short, took me a while to beat it! I remeber some parts were beyond frustrating, like the one where you jump on logs travelling on watterfall, to this day, the logs are left impressed in my mind. Still the game looked gorgeous and I get a nostalgic feeling watching you play.
I remember playing this game constantly on my DOS when I was around 10 years old. Beat it several times then but it was so difficult and only possible after writing down combinations first. That was 19 years ago!
I've always loved this game! Took me a long time to beat it, but I could only do it in about half an hour. I didn't know you could skip the hell stage.
Damn 15 years ago i swear i had this game mastered....now i have to resort to game genie and even then its still insanely difficult but i managed to beat it thanks to this video
As I’ve gotten older I’ve realized that I’m one of a small number of people who actually beat this game as a kid. It took me a very, very, VERY long time. But I was able to beat it without cheats. Only once though. I’ll have to try it again some day.
Asmongold's reaction to this brought me here. You absolutely crushed this game. Side note, but, I think both the visuals and soundtrack have aged really well. Not just for a movie tie-in, but for any video game in general.
Proud to say that i have beaten this game as an 8 year old back in the day. Gamer kids these days wouldn't understand the struggle and the work you need to put in to beat these kinds of games back then.
I stuck in the doublejump...then i stuck in the bison deathrun...later i stuck in lava level and at least the final battle.....i needed 6 years to beat this game
Funny how the 2nd stage is much harder than the rest of the stages. Great design choice. I know it took me a few rentals back in the day to get past it.
And to this day this is still the world record on the leaderboard in this category it's very impressive this guy must be a pro I never played this game before but I have played Aladdin for the SNES and beaten it 80 times and I have speedruned it on any percent my record is only 19:46 the record is I think 16:05 but not going to get that any time soon
Nice! I feel like replaying this. I remember it was hard... it took me a few days to finish it, and luck... lots of luck. This was not a game where finishing it for a second time was any easier.
for so many years i couldn't beat level 2 and the younger simba death scene used to scare the shit out of me so I never beat it, then last year I kept trying and I made it all the way to the "be prepared" level with older simba, and then I couldn't beat that. this is such an infuriating but fun game. everytime you get to another level then die and have to redo *everything* it feels like a part of you dies lmao
I LOVED THIS GAME GROWING UP. BARRY if you hit those keys in that sequence on the starting screen you get access to whole game. Barry for Barry Sanders from the Lions when he was a killing machine!!
I thought I was bad at this game for never beating it, but now I find out that I'm not the only one AND apparently I got way further than most people! Lol never passed the lava level, didn't realize how close to the end I was!
There was a gap at the end of the lava level that I could never pass... I always died there, so close to the end. In this video the player just skipped it, seemed like a hack or a shortcut. Realising how little was needed to get past that level, and that I will never ever get to that level again, I feel my childhood is truly lost.
hated the stampede map, was finally getting ok at understanding where the atelope fecks were gonna be and a rock just seemed like it always wanted to be in my face
This game to this day is a sore subject when it comes to finishing "classics" and the like. I just never could figure out the final battle with scar as a younger lad and never felt like getting there again when older.
Took me days to figure out the monkey level and about 3 years for the lava level as a kid lol. Finally tossing Scar off the cliff was so satisfying lol. I still have the SNES cartridge somewhere.

I see the ending of this game for the first time after 25 years.
I have a SNES and the original tape. I sell to you.
Levente Kibedi didn’t you watch the damn movie
I didnt know what to do on tbe level with the hyenas when i was a kid. Frustrating to see how easy it actually is now haha
👍😢
Really 😆
This must be a rom hack, everyone knows there are no levels past the Elephant Graveyard.
Lol
I can't pass this game even with hacks lol.
Maybe in easy the game stop At the graveyard... In difficult there are more levels
Me & my sister beat this game when we were younger
Speak for yourself shiiii, me and 3 friends spent fucking days beating this and aladdin
Simba slapping the shit out of everything is hilarious to me
Same lmao
He turned into will smith
@@cameronbarron omg lol
Laughed my ass off when i saw him slapping 3 Hyenas at the same time, those sounds make it perfect.
We had so much trouble with this game when I was little. When my brother FINALLY beat it, we chased him around the house. I think my dad cried.
@Master Monkey definitely a wizard
this is the greatest thing to read ever
And then everyone clapped.
Yesss
@@ZOMGWTFPWNQI'm still clapping to this day
I never knew anyone that could get past the 2nd level
I beat it when i was 8
same, everytime i would rent this game at the store, i would convince myself that it wasnt so bad....and then die all weekend in the monkey sections to ultimately return the game and feel like i wasted my whole weekend for nothing lol...good times!

Either I was just that elite, or GamePro covered it. I'm guessing the latter, but I don't remember. I beat the game though.
Ur profile pic
Oh my god dude for real. I was thinking how I’d probably just internet it today even.
I always was stucked in the lava area.... this game was designed by satan
Hahahahaha
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I stuck in level 2 with the ostrichrun
@@henrydingsings6929 me too lol
How was I supposed to know to stand there for 3 min on the lava level
4:55 Apparently, all Mufasa had to do was hug the right side of the canyon the whole time.
LOL
Unfortunately, Mufasa's hitbox was larger.
Respect. Didn't know this game has an ending. Childhood bucket list fulfilled. Kudos mate.
12 minutes to do what i couldn't for five years. O_O
Yo tampoco 😅
Hated this game it was so hard for me lol
I need 6 years because I stuck in Level 2
Don't feel bad, it took me 6 years.
20 years here lol
I'll never forget the pride I felt at defeating the second level. One of the most rewarding feelings from a game I've ever felt.
And you can still boast to this day about it. You're a high level gamer my friend
second level was tricky. The ostrich part I gave me the most trouble. The monkey part was just a bit of trial and error to work out which ones you needed to trigger
I had no idea that you could double jump for the longest time, it made that portion very frustrating but made the victory that much sweeter.
This game looked amazing for its time.
I mean... it still does! Graphics like this don't age.
poolkrooni I agree.
This game looks pretty awful
Sounded great too
the graphics are of course pretty terrible. but the images and how it works on what it is, does look nice.
I would be so fascinated to have somebody who's never seen or heard of the lion king sit down, play this game through, and then have them explain their understanding of the story.
That would be interesting!
you might need to go to a different planet for that though
I have been thinking for 20 years that It was impossible to pass the level 2
I beat this game once. ONCE. And I'm actually ridiculously good at platformers. This game nearly broke an entire generation.
Same here same here!!!!
I had way more difficulty with Toy Story for the SNES than this.

Why did they used to adapt family movies into nightmare, trial-and-error, no-warnings deathfests?
Games were mostly rent and they had to make it extra hard on purpose so you were forced to buy it
The way of many games back then. They were short so they needed to expand the play time.
Simba's slap combos sound exactly like the Terminator theme drum riff; no wonder those hyenas fall quickly.
Skymasterson lmao always thought the same when i was a kid
@@memmox6771 Nevermind, I just got to the scar fight, and heard it.
Holy Mother of Jesus Gamer Crist!! Someone beat this childhood nightmare in less than 20 minutes??? I feel useless... I couldn't even beat level 2!
Same, probably spent two years trying to beat that damn level, it definitely messed me up. haha Those fuckin hippos were broken.
Same. That ostrich sequence felt impossible to 7 year old me
7:15
WOW! You absolutely slayed that waterfall! 🦁😮🐾
💖~🦁~💖
I'm stuck at the waterfall rn.
No kidding. That's one of the hardest parts of the game, too.
I still have nightmares about those logs traveling on the watterfall.
I didn't know there was more game after level 2
ahhhahaha X2 I never could end this game
Level 2? Never knew anyone that finished the 1st level!
Bruuuhhh I never knew how difficult this game was until I got older 🤣 my brother and I used to beat it every other week
@@mekverseedits How did you learn the monkey part? Once I figured that out after years of playing on and off, the game was pretty easy yeah. But it was hundreds of attempts at the monkeys before I got it
dude that waterfall climb was insane, I remember that level driving me up the wall as a kid
That's the part that usually got me too. They made it look super easy when it's actually one of the hardest in the entire game.
The level I couldn't get passed was that hakuna matata level. The waterfall and logs were just a nightmare!
They're not logs they're poo poos!!
I was waiting to look how he do. Ans when i've seen him do that in few seconds... Mdr
Same here. I could not figure out how to get up those damn logs!
This was me as a kid! I got stuck on that level for *months*.
1:40
this part was extremely difficult in snes just because old televisions didn't show enough detail to see the obstacles
I never played this game never owned it never had the things for it cuz i was born in the 2000 nds and e few years later i was born and im 11 so its obius that i never had played this
Games in the past are more hardcore /darksouls then the games now 🤣🤣🤣
99% of NES games were even harder than this too lol
Along with the moon landings, this is one of the greatest feats of human achievement in recorded history
Those Simba slaps though
Was so satisfied as a kid when I finally beat this game.
I can't beat the log jump in Hakuna Matata.After more than 2 decades, this is the first time i'm seeing then orangutan boss. You can't see that even when you input the BARRY cheat.
Instant nostalgia! I used love running home from the bus and playing this game as a kid. By my estimate, it’s been about 26 years since the last time I played. Watching this video brings back instant memories of my childhood. Amazing!
PS - never made it to pride rock but I was a lot closer to beating the game than I thought
At least this has more emotion then the dumb freaking remake.
I never new kimba could be this agile :D I've never been able to clear this game. You're amazing!!!
I played this on the PC with my lil' bro in the early 90s. I had no idea this game was so short, took me a while to beat it!

That was 19 years ago!
This game was impossible but u floating thru this
Simba bitch slapping scar into oblivion was The most satisfying thing Ive seen in awhile.
Well done. I never got past level 3. For it's age, this game was massively complex. Thank you for the good memories. ❣
BARRY - for those who played this game, you know what i'm talking about
i beat this game as a child in genesis and i don't know what BARRY is, is a cheat for the snes?
9:40 Are you flipping KIDDING me?! You can skip the whole level?? Be still my inner child...this is an amazing runthrough.
Things I didn't know I needed until I saw it.
Finally see the ending after all these years.
That lightning and thunder was epic btw. 🤣🤣
caralho , eu teria que jogar 1 milhão de vezes pra chegar perto desse nivel , parabens Akiteru .
I've always loved this game! Took me a long time to beat it, but I could only do it in about half an hour. I didn't know you could skip the hell stage.
Most levels: Jumping, roaring, rolling
Simba's Return level: *SLAPPITY SLAP SLAP*
I played this game 20 years ago. And it's still beauty !!!
Absolutely
Satisfying
That Can't Wait To Be King stage is one of my all time favourite gaming levels ever
good techniques, I'll have to check them out. Great speedrun btw
Um dos melhores jogos de TODOS OS TEMPOS!. 7:15WOW! You absolutely slayed that waterfall! .
Um dos melhores jogos de TODOS OS TEMPOS!
thank you for alllowing me to see the ending after 20+ years
Brings back memories of the game :)
This second lvl soundtrack is the Best ever, and the stampede run is the greatest lvl.
Damn 15 years ago i swear i had this game mastered....now i have to resort to game genie and even then its still insanely difficult but i managed to beat it thanks to this video

great movie, great game, great run
I forget about this game!! Awesome run!
That second level as adult Simba is absurdly difficult. If only I knew that glitch when I was 8yo...
Seriously. I could occasionally get to the adult Simba levels and sometimes beat the first one, but that lava/rock one was just straight up unfair
man the memorys of playing though this game. cant believe scar was that easy to beat XD i remember taking at least 3-5 min trying to flip him.
When you REALLY can't wait to be king XD
Nice run. I beat this as a kid, but it felt like a much longer game. Lol. I seem to remember dying a lot. Tough game.
Asmongold's reaction to this brought me here. You absolutely crushed this game.
Side note, but, I think both the visuals and soundtrack have aged really well. Not just for a movie tie-in, but for any video game in general.
All these years later and I STILL can’t beat Hakuna Matata, on this version or Sega Genesis. Damn waterfall logs.
Proud to say that i have beaten this game as an 8 year old back in the day. Gamer kids these days wouldn't understand the struggle and the work you need to put in to beat these kinds of games back then.
Tremeeeeeendo juego loco. Volví a mi infancia por un momento.
Couldn’t beat this as a 5-year-Old at my friend’s house, but i did finally beat it as a rental from blockbuster when I was 8. So satisfying.
Finally got to see how this ends. I can’t remember getting passed the graveyard.
So much nostalgia, I managed to beat the game a couple of times on the gameboy, which was almost the same game, when i was around 11-12.
I could never get past the ostrich part. Lol
I stuck in the doublejump...then i stuck in the bison deathrun...later i stuck in lava level and at least the final battle.....i needed 6 years to beat this game
Great run and great game. I finished it last week and it is really a good challenge.
This game was so brutal and you just destroyed it. And I have never seen the ending before.
Mufasa would have been proud seeing all the combos his boy is out here throwing especially on Scar lol
Simba's exile was pure sorcery
Funny how the 2nd stage is much harder than the rest of the stages. Great design choice.
I know it took me a few rentals back in the day to get past it.
Dafuq? Volcano level is insanely gazillion times harder than 2nd stage
I remember playing this and never beat it. 13 minute this guy comes along and makes me want to cry how poor at this game I was clearly
And to this day this is still the world record on the leaderboard in this category it's very impressive this guy must be a pro I never played this game before but I have played Aladdin for the SNES and beaten it 80 times and I have speedruned it on any percent my record is only 19:46 the record is I think 16:05 but not going to get that any time soon

You are not human.
This game is not for human.
I LOVED THIS GAME GROWING UP. BARRY if you hit those keys in that sequence on the starting screen you get access to whole game. Barry for Barry Sanders from the Lions when he was a killing machine!!
Oh. So thats how the 2nd level looks like! Nice.
This game pissed us all off growing up...yet We all still loved and played 😅
CZcams has shown me so many endings to games I thought I never get a chance to see or even knew existed.
Never reached Exile…. Finally after 25 years I saw the ending. Thanks
Damn made this look easy that waterfall one was insane
The Elephant Graveyard looks like a retextured version of a level in Pinnochio, where you escape as part donkey and jump off the cliff
I love games like this.
God I miss my childhood
Okay, i'm looking at that 2nd level now this is freaking HARD. No wonder I couldn't clear it when I was little..
Simba's Slaps were so satisfying
I like how this game took some of the fun song scenes from the movie and turned them into levels with nightmarish difficulty lol
If this person put their effort into curing cancer... we would have never even had a COVID problem
I thought I was bad at this game for never beating it, but now I find out that I'm not the only one AND apparently I got way further than most people! Lol never passed the lava level, didn't realize how close to the end I was!
After 25 years I just decided to watch the ending of this game, and it's so unrewarding for the aneurysm inducing gameplay.
loved dat game in the past.... damn im getting old....
the olden times were the best!! These days are sheiitttt!
This game was so hard. Probably still is. I always used the cheat code to go to the stampede level because that was my favorite
There was a gap at the end of the lava level that I could never pass... I always died there, so close to the end. In this video the player just skipped it, seemed like a hack or a shortcut. Realising how little was needed to get past that level, and that I will never ever get to that level again, I feel my childhood is truly lost.
Never got past that stage with the caves played that game over twenty years ago mind numbing game was extremely hard.
hated the stampede map, was finally getting ok at understanding where the atelope fecks were gonna be and a rock just seemed like it always wanted to be in my face
This game to this day is a sore subject when it comes to finishing "classics" and the like. I just never could figure out the final battle with scar as a younger lad and never felt like getting there again when older.
Took me days to figure out the monkey level and about 3 years for the lava level as a kid lol. Finally tossing Scar off the cliff was so satisfying lol. I still have the SNES cartridge somewhere.
Find it and play! It's very exiting!
