Summary
The Game Boy Advance port of Earthworm Jim 2 takes the originalâs offâtheâwall runâandâgun formula and crams it into ten wildly varied stages. Youâll still be whipping, jumping and swinging on Snott, but now you can also fire the autoâaiming gun, blast foes with the BarnâŻBlaster, or munch a chipâbutty to push your suit power up to 200âŻpercent. Levels flip between classic sideâscrollers, a blindâcave salamander disguise quiz, an inflatedâhead balloon gauntlet, and even an isometric pocketârocket shooter that feels like a miniâracing obstacle course. Familiar faces such as Princess WhatâsâHerâName, PsyâCrow, Peter Puppy and Bob the Goldfish pop up alongside fresh villains, keeping the cast as eccentric as the level design. Unfortunately, the GBA version inherits the SNES layout but suffers from grainy graphics, tinny sound, repetitive music and occasional glitches that can make the platforming feel less smooth than the original.
Storyline
Earthworm Jim 2 on the Game Boy Advance sends Jim on a galaxyâwide chase to rescue Princess WhatâsâHerâName from the villain PsyâCrow. Along the way he must pull off oddball tricks â he can masquerade as a blind cave salamander, puff his head up like a balloon, and even face Major Mucus in a quirky isometric shooter segment. The climax is a frantic race through the obstacleâfilled level âSee Jim Run Run Jim Run,â where Jim finally saves the Princess. In a tongueâinâcheek twist the three heroes turn out to be cows in disguise, echoing the gameâs overall madcap quest of saving cows and thwarting lawyers across the galaxy.
