Added DiffLines:

* SparedByTheAdaptation: Downplayed examples with two villains, both of whom survive the magical events that kill them in the films so that Indy can kill them in BossBattles instead.
** Belloq is not killed by the spirits of the Ark, which he is instead able to use against Indy.
** Instead of being outright killed by the false grail, Donovan is [[OneWingedAngel transformed]] into a ''living'' skeleton which becomes the FinalBoss.

** ''Temple of Doom'': Mola Ram faces off against Indy on a rope bridge and throws Sankara stones both to attack and destroy sections of the bridge.

''Indiana Jones' Greatest Adventures'' is an action-platformer game based on the''IndianaJones'' film series, developed for the {{SNES}} by Factor 5 and published in October 1994 by JVC.

The game follows the original ''IndianaJones'' trilogy fairly faithfully, consisting of 12 levels based on ''Film/RaidersOfTheLostArk'', 8 levels based on ''[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheTempleOfDoom Temple of Doom]]'', and 8 levels based on ''[[Film/IndianaJonesAndTheLastCrusade The Last Crusade]]''. As Indiana Jones, players must go through each level, avoiding traps and fighting enemies, and occasionally [[BossFight fighting a boss]] at the end. To break up the platforming, there are also MODE-7 levels that find Indy in control of a vehicle, such as the raft and mine cart in ''Temple of Doom'' and the bi-plane in ''The Last Crusade''. While Indy starts each level with only his fists to fight with, you can break open containers to acquire his whip, a revolver, and screen-clearing grenades.
