Play Earthworm Jim 2 (Europe) Online

Earthworm Jim 2 came out for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in 1996, developed by Shiny Entertainment. It was part of that wave of mid-90s platformers that weren't afraid to get weird, standing out even among other inventive titles on the console.

You control Jim, an earthworm in a powerful robotic suit, navigating a series of bizarre, screen-by-screen levels. Your main goal is simply to survive and reach the end of each stage, but the path is anything but straightforward. You use a plasma blaster to take out enemies, swing from your own head like a grappling hook to cross gaps, and occasionally engage in unexpected mini-games, like a shootout in the Old West or a downhill race on a sled. The pacing is frantic, and the difficulty can spike without warning, but mastering the unusual movement makes it satisfying. It feels chaotic and unpredictable in a way that rewards persistence.
