Earthworm Jim 2

Review
Also known as
EJ2 EWJ2 アースワームジム2

This run-and-gun platformer features bizarre levels, tight controls, and challenging, varied gameplay.

Earthworm Jim 2 was originally released for the Sega Genesis in 1995, and the SNES version was also released in 1995 (North America in November 1995, Europe in December 1995). The SNES version is a port of the original game, so the original release year is also 1995.

About Earthworm Jim 2

Earthworm Jim 2 is a side scrolling action game. Its protagonist is a worm who gained sentience and control of a powerful suit after a chance encounter with the advanced technology.

The core mechanics involve navigating levels through running and jumping. Returning characters from the series, such as Princess What's Her Name and the antagonist Psy Crow, are present. The arsenal available to the player has been expanded with five additional weapons compared to the first title.
