The Lion King on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System came out in 1994, developed by Westwood Studios. It was one of many licensed platformers from that period, a time when the SNES library was filled with games based on popular movies. This one stood out for its visuals, which closely mirrored the film's animation style.

You control Simba through various stages of his life, from a young cub to the adult lion king. Your main goal is to survive the journey to reclaim your throne from Scar. The gameplay involves screen by screen platforming, where you pounce on enemies, roar to stun them, and climb vines or ledges by grabbing them with your paws. You also collect bugs and other items to earn extra lives. The game is known for its challenging difficulty, especially in later levels that require precise jumps and timing. It feels like a direct, if sometimes punishing, translation of the movie's story into a classic side scrolling challenge.
