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
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.
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.
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
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.
@@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 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.
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.
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
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'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.
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!
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
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.
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.
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
I played this as a child and none of this made sense. I can remember beating the Hyena and making it to the giraffe stage but I keep dying to the goddamn monkeys throwing me at random directions.
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
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.
The bonus stages are there for a reason people! Milk them for all they're worth- you will need them those extra lives and continues to get through this game. Especially on difficult.
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!
Disney told the developers to make the game so difficult that people wouldn't be able to beat it during a rental period at Blockbuster. A few developers later apologized to fans for how hard the game is.
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 dont know how to reach this player but this game actually has a glitch on stage 2 you can just avoid al the monkey roaring shenanigans, in the last giraffe you have to jump in an exact point, and it glitches and lets you finish the stage. Found that while i was a kid obsessed with this game
Impressive.. I beat this when I was a teen and the Gameboy version. I never knew about the platform skipping or that you could just keep Simba far left on the stampede. I love the fact you just skipped through most of the lava stage.. which was the hardest part of the game for me
I remember telling my friends i could heat this game and they didn't believe me. So one of them came over with an emulator on a dreamcast disc and proceeded to show them the bonus stages, powerups, and health upgrades. I cleared the stampede stage flawlessly and they shut the system off and cussed me out. Lol
This game was made "impossible" by design. When this game was released, video game and movie rentals were at an all time high. Knowing this, the developers decided to make this game "impossible" to beat during a single rental period. This forced the consumer to have to purchase the game with the understanding that it would be cheaper to just buy the game instead of having to rent it multiple times to beat it.

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
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.
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
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.
Respect. Didn't know this game has an ending. Childhood bucket list fulfilled. Kudos mate.
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 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 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.

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.
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
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.
I have been thinking for 20 years that It was impossible to pass the level 2
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
Along with the moon landings, this is one of the greatest feats of human achievement in recorded history
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.
All these years later and I STILL can’t beat Hakuna Matata, on this version or Sega Genesis. Damn waterfall logs.
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 think I only best it three times in my childhood. It's so difficult and the rest of the game isn't worth the effort.
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.
That part is pretty much the developers telling you to not advance further because the rest of the game is uncooked as fuck.
9:40 Are you flipping KIDDING me?! You can skip the whole level?? Be still my inner child...this is an amazing runthrough.
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
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*.
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.
Simba bitch slapping scar into oblivion was The most satisfying thing Ive seen in awhile.
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.
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
Most levels: Jumping, roaring, rolling
Simba's Return level: *SLAPPITY SLAP SLAP*
Games in the past are more hardcore /darksouls then the games now 🤣🤣🤣
99% of NES games were even harder than this too lol
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.
Was so satisfied as a kid when I finally beat this game.
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?
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 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
That Can't Wait To Be King stage is one of my all time favourite gaming levels ever
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.
Those Simba slaps though
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!
If this person put their effort into curing cancer... we would have never even had a COVID problem
At least this has more emotion then the dumb freaking remake.
Well done. I never got past level 3. For it's age, this game was massively complex. Thank you for the good memories. ❣
This game was impossible but u floating thru this
Finally see the ending after all these years.
That lightning and thunder was epic btw. 🤣🤣
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 remember coming back to this game 20+ years later just to be stuck at level 2 AGAIN!!! 😩😩
There goes my childhood in 15 mins. Amazing. What great memories.
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
When you REALLY can't wait to be king XD
I played this game 20 years ago. And it's still beauty !!!
Absolutely
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
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.
Things I didn't know I needed until I saw it.
Um dos melhores jogos de TODOS OS TEMPOS!. 7:15WOW! You absolutely slayed that waterfall! .
UA-cam has shown me so many endings to games I thought I never get a chance to see or even knew existed.
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.

great movie, great game, great run
You are not human.
This game is not for human.
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
I never new kimba could be this agile :D I've never been able to clear this game. You're amazing!!!
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!
Okay, i'm looking at that 2nd level now this is freaking HARD. No wonder I couldn't clear it when I was little..
This second lvl soundtrack is the Best ever, and the stampede run is the greatest lvl.
caralho , eu teria que jogar 1 milhão de vezes pra chegar perto desse nivel , parabens Akiteru .
Timon's introduction to the game is more ominous once you know what coming..
The bonus stages are there for a reason people! Milk them for all they're worth- you will need them those extra lives and continues to get through this game. Especially on difficult.
I like how this game took some of the fun song scenes from the movie and turned them into levels with nightmarish difficulty lol
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!
Congrats, I can still remember that I couldn't get past the Giraffe level. Next I would like to see is the Alladin version.
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
When I were a child..... I thought roaring at the pink monkeys was just for fun and stuck that level (2) forever....
Disney told the developers to make the game so difficult that people wouldn't be able to beat it during a rental period at Blockbuster. A few developers later apologized to fans for how hard the game is.
Never reached Exile…. Finally after 25 years I saw the ending. Thanks
The person who speedran this is a GOD! Seriously! Fucking awesome!
After 25 years I just decided to watch the ending of this game, and it's so unrewarding for the aneurysm inducing gameplay.
Wait a second.. You can play as adult Simba??
Yeah
I could never get past the lava level but I was so glad I got to play as Simba
I remember staying up watching my older brother playing this and he would rage quit, I think the farthest he got to was the lava stage.
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!!

As a kid I could never get past the second level😂 it's cool to see more of the game finally
Of course you can speed run it with an unlimited lives cheat. This player gets hit like 13 times one level and doesn’t die!
it's a verified run and he does not use cheats whatsoever.
Altona666 Don’t know if you’re joking, but he’s not cheating
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.
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
I had no clue Westwood Studios was part of this game being made. Interesting to know.
Impressive.. I beat this when I was a teen and the Gameboy version. I never knew about the platform skipping or that you could just keep Simba far left on the stampede.
I love the fact you just skipped through most of the lava stage.. which was the hardest part of the game for me
Oh. So thats how the 2nd level looks like! Nice.
Satisfying
thank you for alllowing me to see the ending after 20+ years
This game pissed us all off growing up...yet We all still loved and played 😅
the monkey throwing segment was absurd
When I was 8 years old, I could never get past the giraffe level. Then I grew up and beat it in 12:42. 😎
I remember telling my friends i could heat this game and they didn't believe me. So one of them came over with an emulator on a dreamcast disc and proceeded to show them the bonus stages, powerups, and health upgrades.
