Snott slowing Jim's descentThe purpose of the game is largely the same as it was in the original Earthworm Jim; traverse through the levels in order to save, and defeat the game's numerous enemies, namely. However, gameplay is much more diverse than in the first Earthworm Jim.While the majority of levels are still based on and game elements, separate levels incorporate different gameplay elements as well. Some levels, such as the opening level, 'Anything But Tangerines', and the game's eighth level, 'Level Ate', play largely the same as the original Earthworm Jim, with the exception of there being a larger variety of moves at the players disposal. For instance, there are more types of guns to use once found in a level, such as an auto-aiming gun, or the 'Barn Blaster' gun which takes out every enemy visible on the screen.

Additionally, Jim's friend 'Snot' travels with him, and can be used to stick and swing to other slimy green surfaces, or as a parachute, upon jumping.Other levels stray much farther from this formula. In the fourth level, 'The Villi People,' the player must guide Jim, defenseless in the disguise of a blind, through intestinal passages, while avoiding exploding sheep and hazards embedded in the floor and walls. The latter part of the level suddenly switches to a / format, where the player has to answer nonsensical multiple choice questions that commonly have no logically correct answer. Another level, aptly titled 'Inflated Head', has Jim's head inflated much like a, and the player must control Jim as he floats upward, avoiding touching sharp objects which cause him to fall back down to the start of the level, all the while dodging Evil the Cat's attacks.Yet another, 'The Flyin' King', plays as an shooter, with Jim again on his 'pocket rocket', where a balloon with a bomb must be directed to the end of the level, and defended from enemies, in order to defeat Major Mucus. The last level of the game is not a typical boss fight, but rather, a race against Psy-Crow through an obstacle course, to get to Princess What's Her Name. The game ends with Jim saving the Princess, but all three characters eventually turning randomly into cows.Two bosses are exclusive to this game, Pedro Pupa, a unicycle riding, and Flamin' Yawn, a fire breathing steak.Versions and releases The game, much like the first, was developed for the and then ported over to the.
