Gameplay

Lions are on the loose, forcing the lion tamers to use chairs to keep the lions in their cage. Each time the player keeps a lion in a cage, they earn two points. As the game progresses, the lions move faster. If a lion escapes, the player gets a miss. At 200 and 500 points, any misses the player has are cleared. When the player gets three misses, they receive a Game Over. Game A has two lions, while Game B has three.

Trivia

• In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, Lion appeared as part of the stage Flat Zone 2.
• Lion is Mr. Game & Watch's side-tilt move attack in the Super Smash Bros. series. In these games, Mr. Game & Watch pulls out a chair to keep enemies away. In the stages Flat Zone 2 and Flat Zone X, there is a model based on Lion, and players fill the roles of the lions.
