From the introduction found in the rules:

'Mowgli, as you know, must leave the Cave and return to the Man Village, accompanied by some of his jungle friends to see him safely on his way. So they decide to make a "race" of it, to see who can be the first to reach the Man Village.

As you will remember, Kaa the snake and Shere Khan the tiger, try to stop Mowgli and his friends-and there are other interruptions on the way.'

This is a 3-dimensional game set in the 'jungle' of the Walt Disney adaptation of 'The Jungle Book' with stand up trees and bushes.
