This is a sub-page of Proto:The Lion King (Game Boy).

This prototype is documented on Hidden Palace.

Whereas the March 7 build was pretty much just a tech demo, the July 13 build has considerably more to see. This is the only build that has the "Jungle Caverns" level not seen in the final game.

General Differences#

  • There is no music whatsoever.
  • HUD is positioned differently.
  • There are no objects.
  • Simba's sprites are smaller, and there are no adult Simba sprites.
  • Levels 4 and 6 are very unfinished.
  • The level title cards use the level number at the top, and the lives number at the bottom.
