History VideoGame / TheJungleBook

* StationaryBoss: In most versions of the game, the final boss, Shere Khan, does not move from his spot. In the NES, Genesis, Game Boy, and PC versions, he stands on a cliff on the right side of the screen, flinging embers and blowing fire rings at Mowgli as he tries to keep his balance above a fire pit. In the Master System and Game Gear versions, Khan sits on a boulder in the middle of the screen and doesn't attack at all. Mowgli has to dodge the fire around him as he throws fire at Khan.

A PlatformGame based on {{Creator/Disney}}'s ''Disney/TheJungleBook'', released by Virgin Games in 1993 for the Sega Master System. A year later the game was also released for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, Sega Game Gear, Super NES, and PC. In 2003 a remake for the Game Boy Advance followed. Although all versions are in large ways the same, there are some noticable differences between them, like level designs.

* BattleThemeMusic: In at least the PC version of the game, the boss battles have their own music. Exception is the last battle, where the boss music is used for the entire level.

* BottomlessPit: Present in certain levels, most notably “Dawn Patrol”. You also have a fiery one below you when fighting Shere Khan at the end of the game, and you have to balance on rising and falling platforms while attacking Khan and dodging his attacks.

* CirclingBirdies: Mowgli is carried by two monkeys taking Mowgli to a hospital.

* FourIsDeath: There are four bosses in most versions of the game that actually are full fledged boss fights (in these versions, it's Kaa, the Witch Doctor monkey trio, King Louie, and Shere Khan, in that order), with the last boss being somewhat difficult. This also applies to the fact that you face a total of four primates as bosses (again, the three monkeys who masquerade as a Witch Doctor, then King Louie). Ironically, the fourth stage in most versions of the game doesn't really have a boss; you meet Baloo for a catching contest instead.

* MineralMacGuffin: In all levels, Mowgli has to collect a number of gems before he can complete the level (by either finding Bagheera/Baloo or facing the boss; you can go to the room/area where you fight the boss, but you won't find anyone or anything there until you have the required amount of gems, which will make the boss appear in this area). There are 15 gems in each level, and depending on the difficulty Mowgli has to collect eight (easy), ten (medium), or twelve (hard).

* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Averted as all monkeys in the game are enemies, with two of them (King Louie and the Witch Doctor, so technically it's four monkey's) serving as bosses.

* LifeMeter: Mowgli has one, and so do all the bosses. In most versions, the bar is an image of the characters head, of which the color slowly drains every time they take a hit. In the NES version, it’s a red heart that slowly drains of color whenever a character takes a hit.

* SequentialBoss: The Witch Doctor, a boss that consists of 3 monkeys standing on top of each other, and carrying a large wooden shield. First, you have to fight him while they are working together, walking from left to right and throwing projectiles at you. When that is done, they split up (with each monkey taking a part of the shield with him) and Mowgli has to defeat them each separately.

* SuperDrowningSkills: Mowgli will die when he falls into water.

* BossBattle: Against Kaa, The Witch Doctor, King Louie and Shere Khan in all versions. Baloo is also treated as an End Boss, however, only the NES version of the game requires you to fight him. In all other versions, you have to catch all the fruit he throws at you before the platforms you’re standing on sink.

* BonusStage: Mowgli can earn acces to bonus levels between the regular levels. These consists of enemyless, small environments in which he can collect fruit and other objects.

* ImprovisedParachute: If Mowgli falls from great enough hight, his loincloth will fold into a parachute, slowing him down but exposing his buttocks.
