Sega Vintage Collection: ToeJam & Earl, known in Japan as ToeJam & Earl Collection (トージャム＆アールコレクション), is a compilation for Xbox Live Arcade containing the Sega Mega Drive games, ToeJam & Earl and its sequel, ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron. It was released as part of the Sega Vintage Collection and Sega Ages Online series. It marks the first time Panic on Funkotron was released in Japan.

These games were released separately on the PlayStation Network service at about the same time. As of December 6, 2024, this compilation has been delisted from the Xbox Store.

Gameplay

The game select menu, with ToeJam & Earl highlighted.

Both of the games in the collection have a variety of additional features, such as the ability to save and load savestates, settings to change the display and use decorative wallpapers to fill the screen borders, and being able to save replays of the player's sessions to be played back later. The collection also include multiple regional versions of each game, and the player can freely choose which version they would like to play in the settings.

Also included is a Jukebox, which allows the player to listen to the music in each of the games. Songs are sorted by game and can be played continuously or shuffled. The player can also add songs to a custom playlist, and up to 100 songs can be added to the playlist at a time.

Both games support multiplayer, both local and online via Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. To start a local multiplayer session, a game must be started in Local Play and the  START  button has to be pressed on the second controller at any time.

Trials

Each of the Sega Vintage Collection/Sega Ages Online collections include "Trials", which challenge the player to complete specific objectives with special rules and aim for the best time or score they can. Completed runs can be uploaded to online leaderboards, and replays of the best runs can be downloaded and played back. The player cannot pause the game during a trial, and must stop the trial in order to access the Pause Menu.
