I, myself, do not know much about the history of the NES and Lion King. I can
remember watching and enjoying it. I picked up this game and started to play
it. So, I write something for this FAQless title in hopes that it'll help
SOMEBODY out there. After all, The Lion King was awesome. A great oldie for
those with nostalgia.
Most enemies in the game can be defeated by jumping on them. You can also do
a roll by pressing down and left/right at the same time.
There are six levels in this game. To clear them, you must go past all of the
obstacles and reach the end of the level.
There is also a bonus level if you've collected all the 1ups in the level.(I
think; sorry I'm not sure. Can anyone clarify?) In the bonus level, you must
try to eat as many bugs as possible, but not spiders! Don't let one touch the
ground!
That's pretty much all you need to know to start the game.
When you get to the main menu, there are two options. Press Start to start the
game, or go to the options menu to set the music, sound, difficulty, and
controls. There's really no different in the difficulties other than the
number of lives you start with and the number of hits it takes to kill certain
enemies. Start your game when you're ready.
When you start your game, head to the right. Jump on the lizards and up the
rocks. Turn left and jump up those rocks. When you reach the end there, turn
right. Watch out for the beetles here. After jumping on them, quickly leave
the area or it'll blow up in your face. Keep following the path until you
reach the lion symbol.
From the symbol, you go jump right which leads to a 1up. However, you'll have
to get back up from the beginning. Jump right and up from the lion symbol if
you wish to continue. Keep proceeding up until you reach the trees. Watch out
for the porcupines here. Roar at them first by pressing B before jumping on
them, or you will get hurt.
At the top of the trees, make a long leap to the right where you will find
another lion symbol. Roll down to the right to fight the hyena. Wait for it
to pounce, then wait another second or two and you will see it panting. This
is when you jump on it. Hit it twice and you will move on to the next level.
==============================================================================
{3.2} The Mane Event
==============================================================================
At the start of the level, get boosted by the rhino by swinging from its tail
onto its head. Quickly make long jumps across the giraffes' heads until you
get on land. Swing up from the rhino to get swung onto an ostrich. Jump over
the green rhinos and duck under the nest. After three obstacles, you'll be
flung onto an island. Touch the lion symbol here.
Swing across the rhinos' tails. Make sure to swing when you're closer to the
right. You should land on an island after this. Jump over the gap to get to
another rhino. Swing onto its head. You should land on a giraffe. Jump over to
the right and keep walking right to go to the next stage.
The first thing you must do in this level is to defeat the hyena. Do this just
like in level 1. Wait for him to leap up and attack you. Run under, then stomp
on his head when he's tired. When you beat it, go left. The bones should break
allowing you passage.
Jump down the pit and go right(collecting the bugs along the way might I add)
until you see another hyena. Defeat it just like before. After that, jump onto
the bones. Swing across to the other side. Make sure to hold right on that
last swing or you'll bump on the ceiling and fall.
Head right until the pit. Collect the 1up underneath the platform, then return
and make that long jump right. Jump on the bat twice to kill it, then swing
from one bone to the next. The last two are two that go straight up. To grab
onto these, DO NOT make a full swing left or right. Jump in midswing and
quickly tap right. Do this to reach the top.
At the top, jump right. Fall towards the bottom(but not into the pit!) and
walk right. Jump onto the stone ledge and just press A a few times to get to
the top. Kill the bat, then fall down. Roll(press down and right at the same
time) through the bones. Jump across the ledges, then across the gap to reach
a lion symbol. Jump right to the ledges. Press A quickly to get to the top.
Sometimes, this blue thing will follow you. I have no clue what it is, but
it'll kill you so be sure to avoid it. Kill all the bats that you can, then
jump left across the gaps until you reach the hyena. Dodge it and watch it
fall into the pit. Silly fool.
Keep walking left until you meet another hyena. This one, you have to kill.
After defeating it, walk left through the bones. You'll complete the level.
This is the easiest level in the entire game. Just dodge the little lightbulbs
with wings; er, the wildebeasts. Move up or down to avoid getting hit. The
level will end when there are no more chasing you. Simple simple.
In this level, you'll meet your old friends the lizards and porcupines. Choose
any path you wish to get to the lower level. Jump onto the pieces of land and
swing right across quickly so you don't get hit by boulders. Collect you 1up.
Go down and right. Dodge the hyena. Jump onto the small platforms to the
right. The 1up here is tough to get and depends on the timing of your jump, so
I don't go back for it once it's past. Keep walking right afterwards and we'll
be finished with this quick level!
Jump across the gap and kill the frog. Now drop down(hold right until you
reach the floor). Jump up the platforms, then left across until you reach the
ledges. Tap A until you reach the top of the platform. Walk right. Grab the
ledge, then tap A and hold right to reach the one above it. Swing to the left
to grab the piece of land. Swing to the left(I would ignore the 1up here
unless you're low on lives) and then right onto the land. Kill the two frogs
here and run past the lion symbol.
Choose any path you wish from here. They'll all lead downward towards the
waterfall. Jump up the waterfall via the logs and platforms. This can be
tiresome and difficult. Make sure to not skip any platforms! That can be why
you're not getting to the top. ;) At the top of the waterfall, the left side
will have a 1up. The right side will allow you to continue.
Follow the stream downwards. Try to stay on the right side. Look VERY
carefully at the ground as you will notice that some part is actually water
that can kill you. Anyway, head right on the floor and kill all the frogs.
Grab onto the platform ledge. Keep heading up. You should eventually see a
large, gray...thing. It will throw rocks at you. All you do is jump on the
rocks it throws(and stay some distance apart from the monkey? itself,) and
it'll be defeated shortly. Congratulations, you've completed the game!
This games doesn't contain the entire story of Lion King. If you think the
levels are too hard, you can use this cheat to proceed to the next level. You
can beat the entire game this way, believe it or not, but that wouldn't be any
fun, would it?
Just press START and press B, A, right, and left in order.

But most of all, thank you Dave of cheat central for NOT putting this on his
