Walkthrough for Earthworm Jim 2 Created by Daniel Turner (Dy$e) E-mail: Dmurderer@ yahoo.com Created on April, 2000 Version 1.0 Table of Contents I. Review II. Controls and Game Basics III. Walkthrough IV. Copyrights and Thanks I. Review by Dy$e Synopsis "Jim is Back!!!" Earthworm Jim 2 is back and better than ever. The graphics look way better than the original, a lot more levels and a lot more fun. Jim looks different in this one, and overall everything is just great. Story Psycrow has the plan in this one. He is going to marry Princess what's her name so he can be king of the Galaxy, because she is in line to be the next queen. You must stop him at all cost to thwart his diabolical scheme. This is a little different than the save the girl thing, and has cartoon appeal, I liked it. Graphics Jim looks a bit cartoonier in this one and so does everything else. The enemies look better as well as the Jim sprite. The backgrounds are great and mouth watering especially in Level Ate. Graphically the game has improved and looks even better than the hard to beat original. Sound Some good happy go lucky music accompanies the different stages. This music is slightly better than the original as well. The Sound FX is of Jim's different guns like his regular shots and homing missiles, things like that. The barking of the dogs in the first stage sounds pretty authentic. Overall you couldn't ask for better sound. Game Play This game is for one player only. You get a password feature in this one a welcome change over the original. Jim comes back with a huge arsenal of weapons such as: Regular shots, Mega Regular Shots, Ultra Mega Huge Shots, Homing missiles, Bubble Gun, and some others, Some of them are great especially the mega one's. The levels have stepped up some and are huge. There is even a level where Jim is in the ground, and he is equipped with a Sandblaster. You have Level Ate where the background is a grill with hamburgers on it you have to jump on eggs, and kill flying forks, and bend straws. The bonus stage is different in this one, you have a huge marshmallow, Psycrow is stilling all of Peter Puppy's puppies!! You have to bounce each pup off of the pillow back into Peter's home; if you miss to many Peter turns into a huge monster and chews you up. All of this was fun; my only gripe is there should have been more bosses. Most levels once you reach the end that's it. There is nothing to do; even the last stage doesn't have a boss. Overall A very fun game, at it is challenging. The difficulty is semi-Intermediate, which was a step down from the original. These are still 2 great games, and this is one of the best games you could get for Genesis. The Replay value is low considering there isn't much to do after you beat it, but it is still fun and a challenge one wouldn't sneeze at. A few more bosses would have made this game perfect. Still fans of the original will get a kick out of this one. That's a Dy$e guarantee. Reviewer's Rating 9/10 II.

This is only available during Lorenzo's soil. Earth Flag This is one of 3 flag's needed to get a password for that particular level. These are not easy to find.

Weapons Standard Machine Gun Plasma Gives Jim 250 rounds for his standard Plasma Gun. You can find these anywhere Mega Plasma Your mega plasma gun is more powerful than the original one but slower. Each one you find is worth 2 rounds of Plasma energy.

These are semi rare. Barn Blaster This blows away anything on the screen. But it packs a mean recoil. Each one is worth one round. This gun is super mega ultra rare, you will be lucky to use this twice. Homing Missile This is my favorite gun. It tracks down the closest enemy and kills it, it's also shaped like a house which is pretty funny. These are semi rare, and are worth 7 on each pick up. Bubble gun This thing is worthless. If you accidentally pick it up unload it and get rid of it quick it absolutely does no damage to anybody. There are 10 bubbles per pick up. These are rare. Ammo Whatever gun you happen to be holding it will reload it. These are semi rare, and are always a great find. III.

Once you do that that's the end of the stage. -------------------------------- The Flyin' King -------------------------------- Controls: C Turn around A Fire You are on your pocket rocket; there will be a balloon with the word boom! On it. The object is to take the balloon to the end of the stage, and you can't shoot it unless you want to go back for another one. You go strait mostly through out the stage trying to avoid things, like flying pigs and missiles and stuff. When you reach the end of the stage there will be a boss simply shoot at the balloon and it kills the guy. This is probably the easiest stage in the entire game. ---------------------------------- Puppy love Part 2 ---------------------------------- Just like the first one but harder. ---------------------------------- Udderly Abducted ---------------------------------- The object is taking the cows to the barns. Go right and a cow will pop out of a plant, press down to picks up the cow. Jump over the whole and walk right you will send a barn put the cow in it.

Soon you will see the Earth Flag get it then you will encounter Evil again, use the deflate trick again. Then on your right this time Evil will be there use the deflate trick. Then go left through the opening. Deflate and land go to the continue, and get the other goodies there as well. Go and inflate, you will see Evil flying over your head, to avoid this float left and right, so he can't get a clear shot at you. After a while of going up you will reach am extra life, once you get it you will run into Evil once more, this time he will be shooting at you like he did earlier in this stage. Just use the deflate trick to easily get passed him. Finally you will see the light bulb transport go in there.

I suggest you wait for the cool items before jumping. ------------------------ ISO 9000 ------------------------ First you go right and press down to pick up the Mouse cage. Go right when you see the landing jump on it, and get the Earth Flag. Put the mouse cage in the circle and walk into the machine. Once your out you will land on a continue, touch it and head left.

Your main enemy in this stage is the salt shaker. Head right go under the steak, and take the homing missiles. Keep going right and pick up the ammo. You should see under a stack of salami an Earth flag, head whip to get it. Keep right and get all the ammo. When you come to the grill flip the switch off, walk across and take the 3 finger gun.

Snot swing 4 times when you land you should see a small space in between 3 forks and a stack of salami. Snot Parachute into this space. This is a secret level called room number 47. There will be forks on the ceiling and on the floor try your best to time the fork pattern. There is power ups all over this place, if you make it to the end you will be at the end of this stage. If you meet an early demise you will be transported back to where the 3 forks were. You can't go back in there once you die either. Go right until you find a grill with eggs over it, shoot the eggs and jump on them so it will be safe to go across. After 3 eggs you will see another grill flip the switch. After you get off, you will see 2 ropes, one that has power ups on it, and what that doesn't. You have to take the bottom one that doesn't have the power ups. You can get to the top one but you have to hit the floor with the forks on it, it will propel you to the top. Go all the way across the rope when you land you should be near a Worm Flag head whip to get it. Then keep going right and get the continue.

Go right to the grill and hit the eggs on the grill. You should see the stardust go around Jim. Head back and get the ammo. Go across the two grills; go right until you get a Jim flag. Use the head whip to get it. There will be a light bulb coming up shortly. When you get transported you will be in a pizza box you will have to face Flaming Yawn. He will be on a plate and he moves fast, avoid his plate drops. Then eventually he will come down and spit fire soon as you see him come down fire away.
