Disney's The Lion King is an action-platformer that was also released on the Sega Mega Drive in 1994.
+ Despite the clear power disparity against the Mega Drive, the Stampede level holds up well in its adapted side-scrolling view.
+ Difficulty is much better balanced with less death pits, and the vexing enemy placement is dialled back to a fair degree.
- Missing lots of end-game stages, so the lead-up to the final boss feels somewhat anti-climactic.
- It's not always clear which platform ledges are part of the foreground / background, and lives will be lost as a result.
- Boss battles don't differ from regular fights to any meaningful degree, and come across as rather half-baked.
- Bonus Rounds take place inside a tiny window, almost as if they were made for the Sega Game Gear's handheld resolution.
