Earthworm Jim 2 is the direct sequel to Earthworm Jim, released on the Sega Mega Drive, Super Nintendo and DOS computers in 1995. Enhanced versions were released on the Sega Saturn and Sony PlayStaiton, and more recently the game has been released on the Game Boy Advance, Windows PC (through Steam and Good Old Games) and the Wii's Virtual Console service.
Though very similar to the original game, Earthworm Jim 2 has more varied gameplay than its predecessor. As well as inlcuding standard platforming levels, there are also quiz questions, an isometric shoot 'em up level and various adaptions to the platforming fomula 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.
