Super Lion King is one of those rare instances where a bootleg port of a game is more accurate than the official port of it.

Unused Graphics

To do: Compare the early Aladdin graphics with their final counterparts.

Early	Final

An early version of Super Game's logo can be found after the level graphics, with the corresponding tilemap at 0x2A010. It's unknown if the corresponding palette still exists within the game's data, or what "K64" means.

Graphics from an early version of Super Game's Aladdin bootleg. Their presence suggests that Aladdin was already under development at this point.

Revisional Differences

Two versions of this game were released: the original mapper 114 release, and the more common mapper 4 version. They are nearly identical, except that the mapper 4 version disables the Bug Toss bonus mini-game and stays on the Super Game logo screen for less time.

What's left of the Bug Toss mini-game can be accessed by enabling FCEUX cheat 01FB:08 on the title screen and pressing Start. It's mostly intact, though some of the sprites are missing and it will crash after the "Bugs Collected" screen.
