I was in 5th grade playing Lion King on SNES. Super hard! That second level was a good test. Memorizing which elephant tail whips you to the right section.
I remember getting to the end and facing Scar. Got beat. I had no idea how to beat him and it was frustrating playing all those levels to get to him, only to die.i was getting closer and closer each time. I got to Scar a few times.
One of my favorite gaming moments was getting back to Scar in front of my brothers who were watching. I remembered the movie and thought maybe I should get to the edge of the cliff to see if I can throw him over. It worked! Huge sense of relief finally beating it.
The following Christmas my dad bought me the game for Christmas but I told him we had to return it, I already beat it. In retrospect I should have kept that copy of a snes classic.
I took a emulator and the LK rom to a friends house a few years ago, they played the game when they were younger but now they couldn't get past the second level. I don't think they beat it back in the day. It was hilarious to see how frustrating the game was for others. I'm unsure I have the patience to beat it today.
