Timon and Pumbaa Jungle Games

With you, everything's gas


Genre: minigame - n/a

Publisher: T*HQ

Year: 1997

System: SNES


Gameplay Score: 1

Gameplay Notes:

Horrible controls. The dev favored animation over control. Eats inputs like crazy Only four minigames.


Level Design Score: 1

Level Design Notes:

BURPER - Timing shakes the tree to make fruit, bugs, and animals fall from the branches. Pumba fires buprs and snot rockets up at the falling stuff or swats them on the ground with R or L. Not sure what I'm supposed to do. Should I shoot or kill everything out am I trying to catch some of these things? Baffling HIPPO HOP - Frogger with terrible controls. You have to turn around before you can jump the opposite direction. A long animation ensues making it difficult to get around quickly. It's overly simple and boring. SHOOTER - Gallery shooter with a cursor. Playable but repetitive. This is the only game I was able to get to Level 2 or beyond. JUNGLE PINBALL - Showed a ton of promise but the paths on either side of the flippers are enormous and swallow the ball all the time. The path of the ball in this game is more about randomness than skill.


Theme Score: 1

Theme Notes:

Are these side characters from Lion King popular enough for their own game? I remember hating these tards


Art Style Score: 2

Art Style Notes:

Great animation. Graphics are gritty. Looks like a Genesis game.


Audio Score: 1

Audio Notes:

Obnoxious sounds and music. Blech


Overall Score: 22

Review ID: 631
