Play Earthworm Jim 2 (Europe) on sega Online

Earthworm Jim 2 came out on the Sega Genesis in 1996, developed by Shiny Entertainment. It arrived during a time when the Genesis was still home to plenty of inventive, visually bold platformers, and this sequel fit right in with its offbeat style and exaggerated animations.

You control Jim, an earthworm in a powerful robotic suit, traveling through a series of absurd levels to rescue Princess What's-Her-Name. The game stands out for its variety; one moment you're platforming and shooting enemies with your plasma blaster, the next you're descending into a mine cart on rails or using Jim's own head as a yo-yo to swing across gaps. The pacing is fast and the difficulty can spike without much warning, but the sheer unpredictability of each stage makes it hard to put down. It feels like playing through a Saturday morning cartoon where anything can happen.
