I’ve beaten it 1 time. I got super dedicated , was determined to beat it and did. This conversation is making me want to revisit it and give it another run.

Because it gets stupid hard real fast. Even if you somehow make out the monkey puzzle on the 2nd level, the pinpoint jump, double jump situation at the end crushes whatever excitement you have. That level is harder than the final boss.

Aladdin is a better game. I think the difficulty spike on Lion King makes it a gem for a lot of people. I just can’t wait to be king was life changing and one the most satisfying things to beat.

The Lion King crushed my dreams as a child. Game Gear, SNES, didn’t matter my little brain was done after the first level.
