Earthworm Jim 2, released a year later in 1995, marked the end of the 16-bit era. By then, the Sega Saturn and PlayStation were already available in stores, while the Genesis continued to be popular. This was the last sequel Shiny would make. After the game’s release, David Perry implemented a strict no-sequel policy, which led to the departure of about half of the studio members who would then go on to found Neverhood.

Our game begins with Jim attempting to win the heart of Princess Whats-Her-Name through his accordion music. However, the dastardly villain Psy-Crow swoops in and kidnaps the princess absconding her away to Space Vegas. The game then follows Jim as he races across various planets to prevent Psy-Crow from marrying the princess at Space Vegas. Years later, Nintendo would would “borrow” this plot for Super Mario Odyssey. (1/2)
