Earthworm Jim should be in Super Smash Bros Ultimate as playable character
BlueTarantulaProductions you know I always thought that to, he would actually fit in really fucking well. But a lot of people I ask have never even heard of this game series lol.
The only way I see him getting in is if his series has a revival
I been saying thia
@@geebursmcfleeburs2938 so, who the f is mr game and watch or r.o.b.? i didn't know before brawl, and I'm an 80's/90's kid...
@@rudedude7874 in fact Earthworm Jim is coming back, but exclusive to the Intellivision Amico.
The Earthworm Jim series has my favorite art styles and character designs of all time. All random and goofy. Peak 90s
I'm happy to say that the secret level "Who Turned Out The Lights?" is actually in the Mega Drive/Genesis version. It's accessible from a secret warp in Level 5 (Of which actually is the 5th level of the game if you don't count the Andy Asteroids levels). Can't remember the exact location, but I can promise you that the warp is there. :-)
That's qhat I though too. I've only played the Mega Drive version and I remember that part.
Ruudos Aye, the Mega Drive and Mega CD versions are the only ones I've played, and I found the warp on the Mega Drive version at the very least. Can't remember if it appears in the Mega CD version though. It more than likely does.
Yep, it's in the Mega CD version too - I was listening to the Redbook soundtrack just last week!
The warp to "Who Turned Out the Lights" is near the end of the first section of Level 5 after you see Monkey for a Head turning valves releasing those eye ball thingies and as you whip across two spikes onto a platform before the final stretch there's a platform with some red dots that looks like a warp...jump up into it and voila. Secret level found.
That. I distinctly remember to play this part on mega drive and was very confused by the video. I don't even remember it was a secret.
Intestinal Distress was removed from the SNES version because Sega paid Shiny to include an exclusive stage to their version. The art director Nick Bruty revealed this in an interview long ago, Nintendo did not have issue with third party developers including that kind of stuff in their games.
heh, at least Nintendo prove his own poison for once... the SNES version is still not good tho
When you get to the end of the video you will see why the original got taken down :(
Sadly these things happen from time to time and its really not worth the possible strike against my channel to fight it (well, not in my eyes anyway)
So, here it is the 5th Complete History I ever did posing as the 52nd :P
Normal programming will resume within the next week with a brand new Record Unboxing, Kick-Scammers AND HOPEFULLY a brand new Complete History too :)
Thank you all for your support, it really does mean the world to me! Hope you like this slightly cruder video that originally aired on October 25th 2015

Daniel Ibbertson - Your voice! Where are all the deep growls and low pitched jokes?! Who is this young fellow!?
I really do need to go through your backlog. I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years now (on Larry’s Channel for most of that, haha).
Damn, I loved that theme song. What in Odin's name is wrong with TH-cam's copyright system?
Depending on where it was banned...in US Copyright law you are allowed to use pretty much whatever content you want as long as it constitutes a report or commentary. TH-cam is based in America, so I think you'd easily have a claim. Many of my videos use copyrighted music and I'm allowed to get away with it because of fair use demonstrative/educational purposes.
I don't really understand why this preempts new content, but ok. You could just say you wanted to take a week off, that's understandable.
The '90s was riddled with fads
- Gak
- Yak Bak (and Yak Bak 2)
- Talkboy Deluxe
- Beanie Babies
- Tiger LCD games
- POGs
- Skip-It
and of course the 6 things that surpassed their fad status in the '90s: Tamagotchi, Pokemon, Power Rangers, Sonic The Hedgehog and TMNT
James Fox - Hey, don’t knock on Skip-It! It was the only way I could play jump rope as a kid!
I was a bit of a social pariah...😐
James Fox that’s only 5 things
Do Creepy Crawlers count as a fad?
TMNT began in the 80s though.
@@kingboobs20 Got a lot of traction in the nineties though. Another good thing from the past, namely the nineties? The Powerpuff Girls!
Earthworm Jim is a show that's an underrated classic. Great? No, but good, memorable, and silly. Worth watching at least once, and some excellent voice actors, too. (And, of course, the theme song.)
Thank you so much for doing such a thorough video game history of Earthworm Jim. I'm working with a channel who's doing a review of the entire TV series, and I wanted to start from the beginning. Unfortunately, none of us had played any of the games, so this was incredibly helpful. It's wonderful to go level by level with someone who loved the first two games so much.
EWJ 2 is Tex Avery humor to the extreme, I LOVED IT , I like the first. But the second is so insane i can't not love it
Someone finally got the humour of the game, every bit of the levels is great, the jokes are real decent and quite funny, but the ending was fucking hilarious, even funnier than Boogerman (if you only focus on the burps, fart and decent toilet humour)
The level Who Turned out the Lights is not exclusive to the SNES version -- Genesis and Sega CD versions both have it. Thanks for the EJ video!
High quality thorough research there /S
If you want to play a Spiritual successor I recommend Wild 9 on the Playstation. From what I know it is made by some of the people who worked on the series. It's not the best game in the world but it is not bad either. It is a 2.5D platformer with great humour and crazy gameplay.
Wexcellent!
I seriously had a good laugh with the edited ending. it actually improves the video.
The bonus level in the genesis version is there because of a deal with Sega 😵
Sega asked for an exclusive level for a better deal on cartridge production costs
I love your work .
Wonderboy is calling you, Daniel.
We need this on the switch!
Ah the good ole 90s I miss the 99s so much.
Been watching your videos for a couple of months now, the extensive research you put in the videos is amazing. Love the videos 👍🏼👍🏼
Really appreciate it mate :)
you are by far my most favorite channel on you tube now :D your knowledge is amazing !!!
Your research is on point. I love your stuff. Cheers
Dan Castalaneta did a awsome job as Jim's Voice in the cartoon show and now i need to rewatch the cartoon again after seeing this video :)
YES. Great vid man. No one seems to bring up ewj, it was such a great game, both of them. Ahead of its time.
This is a great video, I will happily watch it again!
"Remember that level from Sonic 2 where you race metal sonic?"
excuse me, what?
I love the tails doll!
I mentioned this before on the original upload, there's a Win95 CD-ROM version of EWJ1 published by Activision that outdoes the Sega CD/Mega CD release, but is one of the most stubborn titles to get working right on anything post-WinME. I know all this because I still own it (jewel case only; I lost the PC box a long time ago).
It should also be worth noting that, since I originally commented on all this, I cannot find any info as to a European release, so maybe that was why you had no knowledge of the release. GOG selling only the DOS version in the Can 'O Worms bundle CD doesn't help your cause, either, and I (apocryphally) believe the DOS versions sold better, possibly because the release was closer to the mainstream relevance of the 1st title to the franchise. After all, EWJ2 was likely already out or around the corner when Win95 EWJ1 was released. Win95 was released in August 95, and at the very least, my disc has a copyright of 95, while EWJ2 was in November that year.
Sorry I still can't help more than this. I'm not surprised about the strike, it was only a matter of time, I suppose.
I also had that Win95 CD-ROM version. There had to have been some form of European release of it, because I ended up with it. But yeah, it definitely seems better than any of the versions listed.
loved this game as a kid! Also I'm pretty sure that under water level got the concept from the ninja turtles nintendo game where you have to deactivate the bombs while trying not to swim into the rocks. Both were equally hard but so satisfying when you would actually beat them!
It was a steak - Flamin' Yawn is his name.
Came here to say that.
Yea, I was like, "What kind of pizza do you eat that looks like that?"
Earthworm Jim, both the games and the TV show went a long way to shaping my sense of humour and childhood in general.
Shiny (oh how we miss you) put Jim in as a kind of cameo in their game Sacrifice as the god James who looked like a worm and was the god of earthy stuff.
32:15
"Hopefully one day, we will get that perfect third game"
Earthworm Jim 4: Are you sure about that?
The "Who Turned the Lights Off" bonus level isn't exclusive to SNES. The Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version has that too. Also, from what I've heard, the "Intestinal Distress" level came about when Sega wanted their version to have an exclusive level, so they asked Shiny to make one in exchange for lowering the cartridge costs. Also, "Level 5" is the actual fifth level on the original Mega Drive version and the later versions added stuff which moved Level 5 further into the game.
23:38 Of course. I also remember the boss fight against Boom Sonic in Sonic 1
Well, I've owned Earthworm Jim HD for 10 years, and literally just found out right now about the 4 player co-op. Thanks Slope.
Golden channel you got here!💖
The track for buttville part 1 and chicken boss was and still is one of my favorite video game tracks
omg saved by the bell and earthworm jim so go together for the time :D
There's so many games that hold a special place in our memory. That came along in the perfect time in our lives and in the history of the industry that were a shining showcase of what the medium could be. Then we try and play them today and we quickly learn how deceptive memory can be (Final Fantasy VII, anyone?). Where they just don't up.
And then there's the Earthworm Jim games that not only hold up today but who's animation has only been matched a small handful of times.
I bought this game for my young kids when it came out, needless to say, I played it 5 hours a day until I got through it! I was good!!!
when I was a wee little lad, I had the opportunity to tour virgin game studios in orange county where I lived. It was so amazing that I spent the better part of my adult youth trying to chase the essence of that exact workplace. I made it eventually, however, working in video games sucks and is soul crushing.
This game used to creep me out when I was a kid..
One day I've played the EWJ 1 on snes and fell asleep. The other day I woke up with my tv turned off and went to school, when I came back and turned the tv on there was the title screen (and loading screen of each stage ) on 6:09 of this video with the weird snes song of the first stage playing. I was creeped out and kinda of scared of the game ever since.
On the secret stage "Who Turned Out The Lights?" on snes exclusively, at the end of the stage there was a huge cat eyes on the dark and when you encounter EWJ give a scream and you die if you don't do anything (like run back). This scared so much that I ran from my bedroom immediatly.
Good memories!
The first two games are terrific fun. Great video! A shame Dan doesn't use the full intro theme any more.
I remember loving EWJ 3D as a child but I could've just been fanboying.
My nostalgia hits harder listening to the sega version. The must that the sega could do hits me in all the right places.
This was a great video! I very much think you should do a History of Neverhood with Skullmonkeys and maybe Armikrog?
what a CV this guy has! I bloody (emphasis on the 'bloody') *loved Robocop vs Terminator* !
I look forward to all your vids! Would you ever do a ganbare goemon complete history?
just reminded me how artistic is all was
seriously, top tier imagination by the creators.
You missed an opportunity to say 'JIm pulled a rocket from his pocket', instead of a spaceship. I remember renting this game from a local rental place as a teen and me and my cousin laughing for like 10 minutes when I said 'Did he just pull a rocket out of his pocket?!' Running joke to this day...
Okay the first thing I've learned about this channel is that the Sega version is going to be your favorite lol
I love that banned commercial. Also its dripping with 90s.
Post this as many times as you need. I'll give it a like, every time
kutulukutu ahhhhhhh thanks babe :)
This was awesome!
Man this brought back from memories! I use to love the bungee fight with Major mucus! I remember giving up on slug for a butt, she took so many hits! I thought I was doing something wrong!
Found your channel few weeks back. Having stop binge watching since!
There was a glitch in that hot air balloon bomb level. When you turned around at the very start and pushed the bomb against the edge of the screen and shot it yourself, a new bomb would then appear but both you and it would be immune to all damage. Made it pretty easy.
I played the second one first so for me that’s my favourite! 🙃🙃
As long as it's one of the 1st 2... ur fine
@@PYROBALLISTA earthworm Jim 2
You are the person I would expect the least to be here
"everyone favorite worm."
what about Boggy B
Omg I loved this game when I was a kid this brings back great memories. It was very challenging as well
Awesome review. So many good memories. Huge fan. Boogerman theme at the end? :D
Fun video about the history of Earthworm Jim, but still there is some missing info like EWJ:HD got also a Windows Phone (WP) version too (but I don't know if got some extras) and also that Jim got a weird guest star appearance as a fighter in a fighting game called: Battle Arena Toshinden but only on the PC version.
Not sure if you were aware of this when you made the video but I think the PC version also had that big brutie level. I definitely remember playing it on the PC version (along with intestinal distress but not the extra SNES part). I remember calling it the Jenga block level due to the way wooden planks looked.
What a Groovy upload😁👌
WOOW...looking back I knew Earthworm Jim was a game above normal for it's time!!...But man I had No idea it was pushed like it was!!.(that grandma commercial was BANANAS!! Lmaooo🤣🤣🤣 imagine being a young kid watching that back in the day!!?.. jeez...def a zany commercial & Game!! & But Great gameplay!!... I'm still amazed at the shit could get way with back then lol!!!..But despite the Craziness of EWJ 1& 2 was waay Light Years Ahead of its Time!!! Still Great fun to play even to this present day!!..(hats OFF to the BOLD CREATOR'S OF THIS DOPE GAME!!🙌🏽💥🙌🏽💥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
I love Earthworm Jim. I had all the toys, watched the show, and played all the games. I too finished the Genesis game without cheats. Genesis does what Nintendon't. I remember it being a real good challenge.
Cant wait for MDK series!!! Tommy Tollarico - Hard Cooooore , Jesper Kyd Hard Cooooore , All of us HAAAAAARD... HARD CORE ....HARD CORE !!!!
Evil Dead Fistful of Boomstick was actually really fun!
Oh, I remember seeing this back it was on demand for verizon's 8 bit section with My plastic heaven and Blackman & Robin (now 1 rule be cool) for gaming news and content.
Earthworm Jim was always my favourite childhood platform shooting game of the SNES for me, but the MegaDrive versions feels so much better, even though the SNES ports are not bad.
both very challenging and funny, but the ending of EWJ2, make me cry just from laughing, the entire game is so weird and wacky, it's a shame no one talks about it.
Actually, the Sega Genesis version of Earthworm Jim DID have the special “dark” section in Level 5. I know because I only had the Sega Genesis and EWJ was one of my favorite games and it was one of those games that I personally made my goal to find all the secrets. The Dark section of Level 5 was my favorite part of Level 5. :)
I always remember the snes version having less frames of animation, or a slower fps. My friend had the gensis (megadrive) version and I had the snes version, and we both felt that the gensis version was superior. There were a few ports like that, like Aladdin.
Aladdin games are 2 completely different games for both systems, none of them is a port.
0:50 - the precursor to collecting the most stupidest shit ever . . . Pogs . . .
Basically someone turned the glass milk caps into collectors game for kids and made millions. I had a wicked slammer in the shape of a sawblade.
There were a couple incorrect things you stated (ewj1) but you caught my attention at earthworm Jim 2’s sega Saturn vs PlayStation bit, Saturn from my knowledge has background parallax scrolling giving the backgrounds more depth, PlayStations backgrounds are fairly static, but that’s the only difference I can spot (as I’ve never played each port my self)
I loved this game on my genesis! But man was it difficult to win!
The special edition is basically the PC version. I have the PC version and I remember dealing with Bug Bruty, not to mention the homing missiles
Internal distress was a genisis excusuve level because sega asked them to make another level due to how much size limitations are left. I think...
This is going to need to be updated! ;)
Indeed some of the info was slightly incorrect but most was "Well Done." ;-)
Slopes,
Please do a books on tape series so I can have a better drive in to work.
Slopes reads Hamlet.

To sleep, perchance to dream-oy, there’s the rub, forget all that though. Welcome to Slopes Theatre.
Dude, the secret level "who turned out the lights" was NOT a Snes exclusive...It was in the Megadrive version too! I played it to death back in the day!
I was lucky enough to get this game not know anything about it for my birthday and hands down my favorite sega game ever. I’m confused though, the sega version had the secret “in the dark” level but you said it didn’t? Or am I confused.
The megadrive version has the secret level also, I had the game when i was a kid and i was entering there
Also, EWJ HD was released for the DSi.
Ah earthworm jim great games and a great cartoon. I do remember a UK game mag offering a free lollypop on the front. The only twist was that there was some sort of worm/maggot in it. Did anyone actually eat it voluntarily and not in a dare or staring down a barrel of a gun? I remember the Uk computer games show bad influence on CITV had someone eat it.
The music was fantastic on the Megadrive versions ☺
Menace 2 The Galaxy wasn't as good as I expected, but the soundtrack was pretty decent.
I like Earthworm Jim, he is such a super guy.
He's very down to earth
Thank you, Top Hat Gaming Man, for this really important comment that feels nothing like begging for your channels attention!
I beg to differ. I say he's such a GROOVY guy.
You missed a... kinda-sorta earthworm Jim in another game. In the (criminally underrated) strategy game "Sacrifice" the god of earth is an earthworm... named James. This was also a Shiny release.
BTW the HD remake doesn't have "Who Turned Out the Lights?"...
I think it was because they couldn't be bothered to go grab the collision data
C'mon, kids! Sing along!
♪ Earthworm Jim~ ♪
I played kid chameleon, a game of the same generation. It’s hard as hell, quite fun but difficult.
think of it like this: earthworm jim was made for the genesis first. to put it on the snes they basically “stretched” it out. if you look at the sprites of jim you’ll see how it’s stretched on the snes! i love some of the ost from the snes more but the genesis triumphs. i’ve noticed that on the snes i have hitbox issues and take damage easier, which is a crutch in a game where you need all the health you can get. the sound effects are so much better on the genesis. the manual for the snes ver. is in color and better than the genesis ver., if you ask me. the genesis game has a plastic shell where i believe the snes is cardboard. the best version of this game is of course the CD version but goes for around $200 usd currently. if you want to play ej, pick up a copy of the genesis version and enjoy!
Loved MDK!!
I just picked up the cartoon series and it's pretty damn good.
I still have the Princess What's Her Name figure.
Wait, Jim had toys!? Oh my god I missed something awesome!
Thanks Slope. Now i want to olay the 360 HD remake but since it was deleted from the microsoft store, there is no chance to play it anymore.
Big Buuuuhhhhh! to digital only releases.
Love me some Earthworm Jim. My favorite version is EJ2 on Saturn
All they had to do was re-release EWJ 1 and 2 on the Switch or something. I don't understand why that hasn't happened, but it could be for all kinds of unpleasant licencing reasons. Hopefully the 4th one the original team are developing for the Intellivision Amico will act as a palette cleanser for this series...but we'll find out I guess.
I do say, the SNES soundtrack to EWJ2 is something else. I think, Tommy Tallarico?
Never got passed down the tubes level on the first one always ran outta air or smashed into the goddam walls. And I still have my Earth Worm Jim figure from the 90s yeah be jealous
I have a few of the action figures on my shelf. Though I lost most of the weapons and Bob the Killer Goldfish :(
Grooovy.
