Converted to .fm2 in FCEUX 2.6.6. The original file is FCEU 0.98.15 as reported by the input file, and the author in the submission text. It must have been erroneously changed to 0.98.12 later.

Submission Comments
  • Emulator: FCE Ultra 0.98.15
  • Aims for fastest time
  • Abuses programming errors
  • Uses warps
  • Uses "flying" to save time and the fast climb is the best. The last stage take damage to the Terrace
Credits
  • 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.
CoolHandMike: Re-Judging Underway.
CoolHandMike: This is being re-judged due to entertainment not being a factor anymore with judging.
This game is an unlicensed release for The Lion King for NES. While the original submission seems to state Mapper 182, the rom version with mapper 114 is one I was able to run the inputs through. More info about Mapper versions here: https://www.nesdev.org/wiki/INES_Mapper_114. This unlicensed game has two different versions, one that has a minigame and one that does not. This version does not have the minigame. More info about versions here: https://bootleggames.fandom.com/wiki/Super_Lion_King.
There is a trick that could save time over this older submission. In the current WR 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. Note that older submissions do not count newer tricks that were found after the submission against it.
Accepting to Standard.
Good job!
fsvgm777: Processing. r3gamerz is handling the encodes for this one.
