Lion

Lion is a Gold Series Game & Watch game released in 1981. It is the last game of the Gold Series overall. The model code for this game is LN-08.

Gameplay: Players control 2 zookeepers at the same time in both games that have to stop the lions from escaping their cages. Letting one escape will result in a miss, and 3 misses is game over. Misses are cleared every 200 and 500 points. In Game A, the player has to stop 2 lions from escaping their cages, but in Game B, the player has to stop 3 lions from escaping their cages. To stop a lion from escaping, the player needs to move the zookeeper to where the lion is trying to escape from in the cage. A bear swings a bell when the alarm goes off.

Trivia: Lion is also playable in Game & Watch Gallery 3. The alarm sound is the same from Manhole. In Super Smash Bros, the stages Flat Zone 2 and Flat Zone X have a Lion scene, despite Lion was never a Wide Screen game, and fighters that touch the zookeepers will take damage. Additionally, Mr. Game & Watch's front standard attack has him hit his opponents with a chair, this is the same chair the zookeepers have in Lion.
