  • Thanks to everyone who gave me informations on the flagpole-stuck glitch.

NesVideoAgent: Hi! I am a robot. I took a few screenshots of this movie and placed them here. Oh! I also corrected the ROM name.
  • You indicated Lion King(J).nes
  • I updated it to Lion King, The (Mapper 182) (Unl).nes

adelikat: Rejected, we already have the gens version, and this doesn't offer anything new. Also poor viewer response. Also, I am skeptical that this is an ok ROM choice.

So as part of the process of looking at older submissions this game came up. First this is a bootleg and more information can be found here https://bootleggames.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Lion_King. There are actually two different versions of this bootleg, the most noticeable difference is whether the bug toss mini-game is present or not. This particular submission is the bootleg version that does not contain the mini-game. After looking at this submission and comparing it to the WR on https://www.speedrun.com/super_lion_king?h=Any&x=q25757wd there is a newer trick to clip through a wall that saves about 15 seconds over this tas https://youtu.be/yAMKXB_1Yy0?si=5AU2E6oscyneyRum&t=182. Due to this, this game would fail on optimization if it was re-judged as is due to this. That flying trick also seems like it could be used more often, but I am not exactly clear how that is done and the submission notes do not describe how it is done either. There is also a discussion to be had about the acceptability of this obsolete FCEU 0.98.12 emulator for these submissions being re-judged as well. I could spend time testing whether this older game would work on acceptable FCEUX versions to bypass that issue, but since it would not pass optimization anyway it is not needed.
