help Earthworm Jim FAQ

How does Jim become Earthworm Jim?

Jim begins as an ordinary earthworm until a powerful robotic Super Suit falls from the sky and lands on him. The suit gives him a humanoid body, weapons, and enough strength to battle villains such as Psy-Crow and Queen Slug-for-a-Butt.

Can Earthworm Jim use his own body as a weapon?

Yes, Jim can pull himself out of the suit's collar and use his body like a whip. The move attacks enemies, grabs hooks, and helps him swing across gaps alongside the suit's standard blaster.

What makes the Earthworm Jim levels so unusual?

The 1994 game mixes conventional run-and-gun stages with bizarre challenges such as escorting Peter Puppy and racing Psy-Crow through space. One level also sends Jim through intestinal scenery under the deliberately strange title Intestinal Distress.

Which systems received the original Earthworm Jim?

Shiny Entertainment's game first became closely associated with the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo in 1994. Versions later appeared on systems including Sega CD, Game Boy, Game Gear, and Windows, with content and audiovisual differences between releases.
