Released by Virgin Interactive in 1994, The Jungle Book is an action platformer that brings the classic animated film to the Sega Genesis. You guide Mowgli through dense, sprawling levels, swinging on vines and fending off wildlife to make your way back to the human village.

How to play

To complete each stage, you must collect a specific number of gems hidden throughout the environment to open the exit. Mowgli can attack by throwing bananas or bouncing on enemies’ heads.

Tips

Search everywhere: You cannot leave a level without enough gems. Thoroughly explore the canopy and ground level to find them before time runs out.
Upgrade your weapons: Keep an eye out for weapon pickups like the boomerang banana, which are highly effective against bosses and tougher enemies.
Mind your momentum: Mowgli’s jumps require precision, especially when leaping between vines over hazards.
