How to Play The Lion King
Quick start
Choose a difficulty and begin as young Simba. Jump on smaller enemies, use the roar to stun creatures or solve stage hazards, and collect bugs that restore health or strengthen the roar meter. Later stages use adult Simba, whose claw swipe handles enemies that can no longer be defeated by jumping alone.
Controls
D-pad: run, crouch, climb, and move through menus; press down-left or down-right while running to roll where the terrain allows. A: roar. B: adult Simba's claw swipe. C: jump; young Simba defeats many enemies by landing on them. Start: pause.
