I actually expected a little bit more from the game..I think the sprite work ended up between a 8bit and 16bit style sometimes.
The gameplays is janky to make a artifiicial difficulty, but the levels are cool. This made me realize how crazy it is we have chrono trigger, link's awakening, FF 6, super metroid on SNES lol.
Overall it was okay..but I definetely remembered something else :b

The Lion King on SNES is a classic, but it's also brutally difficult and unfair in a way that will test the patience of modern gamers. The visuals and music are amazing, nailing that Disney nostalgia, and the first few levels are truly fun. But man, the later stages with precise jumps and instant deaths are rage-inducing. It's one to revisit for the memories, but be prepared for frustration unless you're a platforming pro.
Shockingly great. They just don't make movie tie in games like they used to.
Absolutely gorgeous sprite work and music, but god help the kids who ended up getting their shit rocked.
Genuinely overrated in terms of difficulty. The only level that's actually difficult is Be Prepared. Everything else is just basic platforming. Well, maybe the Hyena level too. It's a puzzle. But this game is a childhood classic for me. Played it a shit ton and was shocked when I learned there were cheats for it.
And if my pal Barbie is reading this, the cheat code spelled out B A R R Y on the controller.

To be clear. I have officially played through and completed both the SNES and Genesis versions of this game. The Genesis game has some of the most horrific controls I’ve experienced in a Sega Genesis game ever. The jump is sticky, everything has a chop to it from changing directions to short/long jumps to environmental hazards like collapsible floors, spring jumping platforms, slides, all of it has a horrible degree of separation from anything I would consider crisp, snappy, smooth and fluid. With an automatic built in rewind button present in the Disney Collection on the Switch, I bounced between the 16 bit consoles and after forcing myself to complete the Sega version of the game (a span of 4-4 1/2 hours) I fired up the SNES version to see what was different. Everything about it is the exact same game and everything about it is different. The sprites are larger. The graphics are brighter. The voice clips are way clearer, the audio entirely is superior and the controls, though still chock full of those slippery edges, performs insanely better. There’s even a few more bonus games in this one. It felt like THIS was how I was supposed to be playing it on the Genesis. Plus I played through this version in just a little over an hour. With that, I’m giving the SNES version a solid 3 but the Genesis version is a hard 1 1/2 earning that first star for being the Lion King and looking/sounding adequate. With that, grab the Disney collection, prepare that rewind trigger button and DEFINITELY play the SNES version of 1994’s The Lion King
