Back to: Earthworm Jim 2.

Mega Drive version

Totally Forked

EarthwormJim2 MD TotallyForked1.png

EarthwormJim2 MD TotallyForked2.png

"Totally Forked" or "Secret Room Number 37" can be accessed by reaching a specific area in Level Ate. Jim has to reach a gap on the right hand side of a pile of ham, to the left of three forks, and below a bacon platform. The best way to get there is to parachute from the right hand side (almost certainly taking damage along the way). Run to the left and the new level will load.

As the name suggests, Totally Forked involves more forks, which now move up and down. Once the level is completed, Jim will return to Level Ate on the bacon platform above the Totally Forked entrance.
