Simba’s Mighty Adventure is based on Disney’s The Lion King as well as it’s direct-to-video sequel Simba’s Pride. The game consists of ten side-scrolling levels: The first six are set in The Lion King and the rest in Simba’s Pride, with some levels ending in boss fights. The game tracks along with the plot of both films and follows Simba as he grows up. Key events, such as the stampede from the first film, make up their own levels. Simba moves by running, jumping and climbing. Jumping can also be used to defeat the snakes, spiders, or monkeys that get in Simba’s way. He can also swipe at them with his claw or, as an adult, roar at them to make them flee.
Aiding Simba in his journey are collectibles that grant extra lives, refill or extend Simba’s health or fill a special amulet. Collecting all five parts of the amulet grants an extra life and opens up a mini-game that can be played main menu. The game also has a mulitplayer element. Using a Gameboy Colour link cable with another player opens up an extramode where each player has to hold onto a star for as long as possible by avoiding the opposing player’s attacks.
