Contents

Gameplay

Timon and Pumbaa's Jungle Games consists of five mini-games featuring Timon and Pumbaa (respectively voiced by Kevin Schon and Ernie Sabella), as well as other jungle animals from The Lion King . The games are Jungle Pinball (a pinball game where the board is filled with animals instead of bumpers), Burper (a shooter type game, using Pumbaa to belch gas), Hippo Hop (concept similar to Frogger), Bug Drop (based on Puyo Puyo ), and Slingshooter (a slingshot game) accessible directly from the menu. The mini-games are endless where players try to top their high scores. [7] Bug Drop is omitted from the SNES version, [8] [9] since the system has its own port of Puyo Puyo in the form of Kirby's Avalanche .

Development

The game was announced in June 1995. [10]
