Level 1
Collectibles: 3 grubs
Guests to Rescue: 0
USE THE PLUG
This location is filled with lava and other dangers. At the start, jump over to the main area from your platform and pick up the plug to stop the lava flowing along the ramp.
Remove the plug from the lava geyser on the left side to open a cave with a key inside. Take the key to the right side and open the chest to get a blue star for upgrading your tool. Be ready to fight off some enemies. Once you clear out the Fodder, head up the ramp.
RIDE THE DUCK
Walk to the left until you reach a lake of lava. Climb aboard the duck and set sail.
Fire the duck’s cannon at targets on rocks as well as at rocks that block your path to the left side of the lake. You can also fire at the enemies on the island in the middle to clear it off before you land.
GRUB
Stop at the dock on the far left side of the area and get off. Jump up onto the top of the ledge and collect the first grub. Then sail the duck over to the island.
DEFEAT THE HYENAS
Take control of the cannon and shoot at the hyena targets as they move across the shooting range. You need to hit 20 hyenas to complete this objective.
GRUB
While you are on the duck, be sure to hit the target on the lake’s far-right side. You have to fire across the island to hit it. When it’s hit, the target flips over a rock, creating a platform in the lava. Now you can jump from the island to a ledge on the side of the lake of lava using this platform and get a second grub.
LOCATE THE CANNON BARREL
Sail the duck back to the shore and then climb up the wide steps leading to a bridge.
Jump across the bridge and turn the crank to lower a stone door and reveal the cannon barrel inside.
Challenge - After the door to the cannon barrel is opened, the arcade machine appears and is available for playing a challenge.
OPEN THE EXIT
Move the cannon barrel over to the turret and then fire at the target on the rocks. As one target is hit, another appears. Keep firing until you have carved a series of steps into the rock.
Climb up the steps and turn the crank to lower a lion door and open the exit.
EXIT THE LEVEL
GRUB
Go back to the cannon and fire at the target near the lava flow. As the lava adds weight on one end of this crane, the other rises, bring-ing a grub up with it. Grab it to unlock music.
Finally, walk into the exit to continue to the next level.
Level 2
Collectibles: 3 grubs
Guests to Rescue: 0
LOWER THE BRIDGE
Right at the start, go for the VIC cube and get the power-up so that you are ready to fight the enemies who appear.
Once it is clear, pick up the plug and place it on top of the lava geyser on the left side so that the lava is redirected down a channel to lift an elevator platform.
GRUB
Pick up a bomb and throw it at the rock with the target on it. After it blows up, get the grub that was hiding on the other side.
Ride the elevator platform up to the top to find the crank. Move the crank onto the elevator and ride it down. Move the crank across to the elevator platform on the right and leave it there.
Remove the plug and then put it on the lava geyser to the right to send the flow toward the other elevator platform. Walk onto the platform and ride it to the top.
Move the crank off the elevator at the top and into its position. Then turn it to lower the bridge so that you can get to the right side of the level. Get down to the ground and then walk across the bridge.
PLUG THE GEYSERS
Fight off the enemies that attack you as soon as you cross the bridge. Watch out for a cannon that the Fodder like to build.
Pick up a bomb and move close to the stone slab with a target on it. Throw it at the target to open an alcove. However, lava is flowing over the entrance.
Step on the red switch to temporarily stop the lava flow. Rush into the alcove, pick up a plug, and then get out.
Place the plug on one of the lava geysers. Then go get the plug from the previous area and place it on the second lava geyser. This clears away the wall of bubbling lava that blocked your progress.
Challenge - As soon as you plug the second geyser, the arcade machine appears. Use it to play a challenge.
DIRECT THE LAVA
Jump over the lava ditch and then move toward the back of the area to get a crank. Wait until an elevator platform rises, then move across. Let it go down and when the platform comes back up, move the crank across and place it in its slot.
As soon as you put the crank is position, a Brute appears. Give yourself some space to move around and then fight until you defeat this enemy.
GRUB
Turn the crank on the left so that the flow goes down to a small stone platform. Pull the green lever to send lava into the channel and then jump onto the platform. The lava raises it up so you can jump up and get the second grub.
Move to the right of the two cranks and pull on another green lever. This raises a platform that leads to a cave with a key. Jump across to get the key and then hurry back before the platform drops down into the lava. Place the key on the small platform by the lever.
GRUB
Pick up a water balloon and throw it at the seed by the lever. When the tree grows, jump up onto its leaves to get the third grub and unlock concept art.
Now turn both cranks so that the flow goes from the left crank to the right crank and then on to another platform. Pull the green handle by the left crank and then hurry back to the platform to get a ride up to the upper area. At the top, use the key to open a chest so that you can up-grade your tool with the blue star. Jump on up to the next higher area.
STOP THE VOLCANO
A small volcano sits in the center of this area. Every so often, it erupts and sends out a scorching shock wave. Jump over the shock wave or you’ll take a lot of damage.
Pick up a bomb and throw it at the target rocks on the right side.
Pick up the plug inside and place it on one of the lava geysers.
Throw a water balloon on a seed in the back-left corner and use the tree that grows to get two more plugs from high platforms. Place those plugs on the other two geysers to stop the volcano from erupting.
EXIT THE LEVEL
After the geysers are plugged, a Brute appears to attack. Defeat him or just run for the exit to continue on to the final Lion King level.
Level 3
Collectibles: 3 grubs
Guests to Rescue: 2
BUILD THE TRACK
This level is like a shooting gallery. You board the Simba train and shoot at targets as you to. However, before you can get started, you must first repair the track. Find the missing section of track and move it into position.
DEFEAT THE ENEMIES
Now you have to face a Roto and its Fodder friends. Grab a VIC cube at the rear of the area and use the power-up for the fight.
GRUB
Pick up a water balloon and throw it at the seed on the front-left corner. Then jump up onto the tree to get a grub. Do the same in the front-right corner so you can also get the second grub. Be sure to get these before leaving this area. There is no coming back.
BOARD THE TRAIN
Now hop aboard the Simba train and take control of a cannon.
SHOOT THE RED TARGETS
As the train heads up to the top of Pride Rock, fire at the red targets to score points. Avoid hitting the blue targets that represent friendly animals.
When the train comes to a halt, shoot the spinner target to move the track into position so the train can continue. As you go through three shooting gallery areas, there is no minimum amount of targets you must hit. This is just a competition between players for the highest score.
DEFEAT SCAR
The Simba train eventually rolls into the final area where you must face off against Scar. Scar has two cannons—one on each shoulder. Use your cannon to attack him.
Before Scar fires one of his cannons, a target appears over that shoulder. Shoot the target quickly to prevent Scar from shooting at you. In the first stage, the target goes back and forth so as soon as you hit one, aim over the other shoulder so that you are ready to fire. Hitting the targets does not damage Scar. It only stops his attacks. So take a few shots at his head or body as you are moving between the targets.
After a few attacks, Scar rears back, exposing a target on his belly. Shoot it to prevent a slam attack and then take some shots at Scar’s body.
When you have reduced Scar’s health to nothing, as shown on the meter at the bottom of the screen, Scar collapses. However, he is not done yet.
Scar comes back for another round. This time he uses a cannon in his mouth. Two targets appear at the same time. Hit one to stop the first type of attack, then the other target to stop a second attack. As soon as you hit both targets, fire at the head and body.
Again Scar rears back and prepares for a slam attack. Shoot the target on his belly to stop the attack.
Keeping firing until you defeat Scar—for good this time—and he falls back, off the cliff.
FREE THE GUEST
GRUB
Move the drum on the left side of the area to the back and place it under the grub. Then jump onto the drum and shoot yourself up to get the third grub and unlock character models.
Challenge -
After you defeat Scar, an arcade game appears. After all the competition in this level, why not play a challenge to wrap things up.
Move the drum to the right side and use it to get a key up on a ledge. Then carry the key to the back of the area to open a chest for a tool-upgrading blue star.
Finally, walk over and free the guest. As a reward, you unlock the Simba costume.
IT MEANS NO WORRIES!
By completing this level, and the entire Lion King world, you have earned this reward.
