The Jungle Book (Sega Master System, Game Gear)

A version of the game based on the Disney movie that actually predates the Genesis version. This specific version isn't as content-rich as other versions and is vastly different in terms of levels, with some having you collect a set amount of gems, while some involve finding Bagheera at the end.

Level Select#

Hold 1 + 2 + Up when switching on the Master System. The music should play past the Disney logo. Press the D-Pad buttons in a clockwise motion until you hear a chime. Select Start to access the level select, which also includes a build date.

Unused Enemies#

This rhinoceros pops up from the ground, then hides back under again.

A crude bat(?) enemy that does nothing, but can still hurt Mowgli if he touches it.

A tiny crude bat that works in the same way as the above bat.

Unused Music#

A sinister, foreboding track that is used for some levels in the NES and Game Boy versions.

Unused Text#

At 0x2880 is a small snippet of unused text:

NOT INSTALLED

Since the Level Select uses the text after ("LEVEL TESTED") when selecting a level, this was probably used for levels that didn't exist at one point.
