Tectoy

Earthworm Jim 2 (アースワーム・ジム２) is the direct sequel to Earthworm Jim, and was released (among other consoles) for the Sega Mega Drive in 1995. An enhanced version was released on the Sega Saturn.

It retains the surreal humour from the first game and was followed by Earthworm Jim 3D in 1999.

Gameplay

Though very similar to the original game, Earthworm Jim 2 has more varied gameplay than its predecessor. As well as including standard platforming levels, there are also quiz questions, an isometric shoot 'em up level and various adaptions to the platforming formula, including marathon races and a stage where Jim must shoot his way through mounds of dirt.

Levels

Presumably due to streaming issues (i.e. the need to load data from the disc), the Saturn treats some of the boss battles as new levels. For the most part, however, the content is the same between both versions.

	Anything but Tangerines

	Granny Chair

	Lorenzo's Soil

	Puppy Love Part 1

	The Villi People/Jim's Now a Blind Cave Salamander!

	The Flyin' King

	Puppy Love Part 2

	Udderly Abducted

	Inflated Head

	Hammer Head
	The Saturn version considers this a separate level.
	ISO 9000

	Door Chase
	The Saturn version also considers this a separate level.
	Puppy Love Part 3

	Level Ate

	Flamin' Yawn
	Also considered separate in the Saturn version.
	See Jim run. Run Jim run.

History

Legacy

The Mega Drive version of the game has since been re-released for the Wii's Virtual Console service.

Versions

Mega Drive version

Like its predecessor, Earthworm Jim 2 was developed with the Sega Mega Drive in mind, with the code subsequently ported to the Super Nintendo. The Mega Drive version is therefore the original copy of the game and the basis for most of the ports going forward.

Saturn version

The Sega Saturn version of Earthworm Jim 2 was ported to the system (alongside a PlayStation version) by Screaming Pink. It uses the enhanced audio soundtrack seen in the PC version released six months prior, while making a number of improvements to the game' graphics (namely the backgrounds, which are unique to these two versions). A great deal still resembles that of the Mega Drive original, however, and many of the sprites remain largely unchanged (including those employing dithering techniques to circumvent the Mega Drive's limited colour palette).

The Saturn and PlayStation Earthworm Jim 2s were considered controversial by some critics in 1996, as it was felt the upgrades were not significant enough to justify the release on newer hardware.

 '''''{{PAGENAME}}''''' (アースワーム・ジム２) is the direct sequel to ''[[Earthworm Jim]]'', and was released (among other consoles) for the [[Sega Mega Drive]] in 1995. An enhanced version was released on the [[Sega Saturn]].
-Though very similar to the original game, ''Earthworm Jim 2'' has more varied gameplay than its predecessor. As well as including standard platforming levels, there are also quiz questions, an isometric shoot 'em up level and various adaptions to the platforming formula, including marathon races and a stage where Jim must shoot his way through mounds of dirt. It retains the surreal humour from the first game and was followed by ''Earthworm Jim 3D'' in 1999.

+===Levels===
+Presumably due to streaming issues (i.e. the need to load data from the disc), the Saturn treats some of the boss battles as new levels. For the most part, however, the content is the same between both versions.
