==Gameplay==
''Timon and Pumbaa's Jungle Games'' consists of five mini-games featuring [[Timon and Pumbaa]], as well as other jungle animals from ''[[The Lion King]]''. The games are Jungle Pinball (a [[pinball]] game where the board is filled with animals instead of bumpers), Burper (a shooter type game, using Pumbaa to belch gas), Hippo Hop (concept similar to [[Frogger]]), Bug Drop (based on ''[[Puyo Puyo]]''), and Slingshooter (a slingshot game) accessible directly from the menu. The mini-games are endless where players try to top their high scores.<ref>{{cite web|url= http://www.destructoid.com/games-time-forgot-timon-and-pumbaa-s-jungle-games-85888.phtml|title= Games time forgot: Timon and Pumbaa's Jungle Games|author= Anthony Burch|publisher= [[Destructoid]]|date= June 3, 2008|accessdate= September 17, 2015|archive-date= September 21, 2015|archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20150921025316/http://www.destructoid.com/games-time-forgot-timon-and-pumbaa-s-jungle-games-85888.phtml|url-status= dead}}</ref> Bug Drop is omitted from the SNES version,<ref>{{cite magazine|date=July 1997|title=Disney's Timon and Pumbaa's Jungle Games|magazine=[[GamePro]]|publisher=[[International Data Group|IDG]]|issue=106|page=70}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|date=December 14, 2008|title=Timon & Pumbaa's Jungle Games|url=http://justgamesretro.com/snes/timon-jungle-games|publisher=Just Retro Games|accessdate=February 13, 2016}}</ref> since the system has its own port of ''Puyo Puyo'' in the form of ''[[Kirby's Avalanche]]''.
