The Jungle Book is an action-platformer that differs from the version released on the Sega Master System (1993).
- Despite having ten stages, there's barely any gameplay variety and continually hunting for gems gets old rather fast.
- Timer is far too strict (resulting in memorisation to succeed), and unlike the SMS game enemies respawn when you die.
- Imprecise controls cause non-stop issues, and there's an annoying delay when crouching and then trying to fire.
- Has an unrelenting amount of instant death pits, and you'll frequently find yourself falling straight through platforms.
- Camera takes forever to pan up and down, which isn't great when you're being sniped by an enemy just out of view.
- Compared to Sega's lush 8-bit graphics, this version looks like a low-quality bootleg with muted colours and ugly sprites.
