[TAS] SNES The Lion King by EZGames69 & SBDWolf in

This is a tool-assisted speedrun. For more information, see tasvideos.org/...
TAS originally published on 2022-06-23
The Lion King, based on the famous Disney movie, is a platform game where you control Simba - initially as a young cub, and later as an adult lion. The plot of the game follows the plot of the movie. Each of the levels represents a part of the movie.
EZGames69 ( tasvideos.org/... ) and SBDWolf ( tasvideos.org/... ) save 1:28 over the previous run ( tasvideos.org/... ) by playing on the easiest difficulty instead of the hardest and through better manipulation of the RNG. For more details, you can read the authors' comments ( tasvideos.org/... ).
For a TAS of the slightly different Genesis port, you can find it here ( tasvideos.org/... ).

RIP to all the kids who never survived level 2

[@reesecates8620]

To include Phantom Strider.

Preach!

[@_QWWQ_]

I dont even remember those extra stages...

[@zimtak6418]

I know, riding those ostriches was such a pain, very inaccurate hit boxes on those nests. The monkey puzzles weren't too bad, but still slow and annoying compared to the rest of the game. Luckily "BARRY" was helpful. Genesis owners got level select without any cheat codes, but couldn't select bonus levels and I think had to play on hard mode only if they used level select.

[@JamesMeyer2]

Simba really couldn't wait to be king!

[@darkshoxx]

Great run! Fun to watch, but the execution of the ostrich-ride in the second level makes me hate myself, that looks so easy 😆. Also really liked the stampede execution 👍 Quick note, the last two links in the description have the closed bracket ")" as part of the link, which kills them.

[@B3Band]

This game was so ridiculously hard as a kid. And this speedrun just obliterates it!

[@PhillipP93]

Satisfying to watch.

[@DKQuagmire]

as a kid i never even got past the stupid monkeys. most infuriating puzzle ever!

[@baltakatei]

The difficulty was designed to prevent people finishing the game within a single rental period.

[@chrisfearn4837]

That puzzle section drives me mad every single time I play it

[@ggarzagarcia]

Fun to watch! Some of the skips I recognize from speedruns, like the leopard throw skip.

[@jordanpeterson5038]

Probably one of the hardest games known to man

[@Metal-Gear-Moogle]

The SNES version is even harder because it has glitches in it that make it almost impossible to beat

[@retrorun]

Great execution!

[@penelopenoble9250]

AVGN should do a review of this game.

[@GillesMeyer]

I knew about 2 skips in Exile, but that was a Glitch Party :D Awesome Run!

[@b.clarenc9517]

This was so hard as a kid. I always used to get stuck on the first adult level against the panthers.

[@Mikewee777]

Cheat codes and tool assisted inputs are the only way to experience this game in it's entirety .

[@guywhoateallthepizza1031]

Just like the movie

[@alien_man1669]

I used to get stuck at climbing the waterfall when I was a kid but the ending broke my patience after years of trying to beat this game I could never figure out how to throw scar off the cliff and then I did it by accident mashing buttons. Best accidental win ever lol this was years after my Genesis died and I was playing with emulator and save states but still a win haha

[@Xx1SailorScoutxX]

I did beat this game (on DIFFICULT) as a child; however, it took me a LOT of practice. I wish I could get it to run on my SNES Classic Mini. This is a game that I always enjoy playing, no matter the difficulty.

[@tsc2121]

You know, Most people couldn't beat the SNES version, But I beat it without losing any lives, The Genesis version that I think is hard to accomplish a no death run on it. Nice run btw!

[@zumba.c]

The ??? Rock during the stampede would get me every time

[@koholintisland2167]

Nostalgia

[@EmoKen]

4:10

[@chromxrobinandcorrinxcamil9031]

Hard Lion Game from Hell.

[@SirHattington]

It's appropriate that the into for a TAS of a Lion King game uses a furry waifu for the picture

[@Damian_1989]

Is the "monkey toss" section as infuriating as it looks?

[@PatSpeedruns]

Yes it is my friend! It's really annoying and difficult

[@zumba.c]

I used to just roar at random monkeys for hours til I somehow won. Then died on the next level 😂

[@strongandbigman]

4:13 I love how you took damage 3 times on purpose, just to show off the power of TAS. 5:25 What a glitch chaos this map is. 6:44 You make him look like a total fool. Hes supposed to be the boss but he cant even get first to his own top.

[@PatSpeedruns]

I really wanted to love and speedrun this game. But the freaking level with the monkeys made it impossible! Man if only that level was made easier 😭

[@zumba.c]

Wembanyama, penguin in Nevada

[@Evertide05]

This game has more than two levels?

[@penelopenoble9250]

Now that this TAS is finished i'm curious to know if the Genesis version should be improved at all.

[@SmaugUKA]

I wonder if Asmongold's Chat is going to let him know about this considering he's watched a WR Speedrun of this game prior. Now he'll get to see what a TAS can do.

[@RonanThomas-cy8st]

You sir Are an absolute pro at speed running. I love your videos. I watched your videos where you speed ran. Aladdin The Jungle Book. And the Lion King and Toy Story. Ice speed run the Lion King and Aladdin. On the Nintendo switch version. And the Xbox One version. I watched your older speed run Sega Genesis Speed run of the Lion King on difficult mode. And I notice you weren't a very good pro back in the day but now you are. I think you should. Do another speed run of the Genesis version of the Lion King on difficult mode agand just to show how more pro you are.

[@patrickbarrett6305]

You do know it's not actually them speedrunning the games right?

[@RonanThomas-cy8st]

Nope

[@RonanThomas-cy8st]

I think it is this guy speed running.

[@PatSpeedruns]

@RonanThomas-cy8st (responding from different account, too lazy to switch back lol)! It's not them speedrunning the game! A TAS is a Tool Assisted Speedrun where they put in allot of inputs in an emulator to create a theoretical perfect Speedrun! Some tricks done in this video isn't even possible for a human to pull off.

[@RonanThomas-cy8st]

Okay, I believe you now. I was thinking it was some guy that was a real pro at speed running for a second.

[@kwepc90thespeedrunner33]

I'm not trying to be funny or something but the thumbnail looks like simba is about to take a dump lol😂

[@scottdahneke1031]

Pink pajamas penguins on the bottom.
