[TAS] Genesis Earthworm Jim 2 by Flip in  

How i wished there was a hack of this game that gets rid of these stages!!

What’s so bad about Puppy Love? Yeah it’s not the best stage ever and the hit boxes are a bit wonky but honestly I think they’re a good time

@@ThaTickingTymeBomb I think most people hate it. Puppy Love is a gimmick game in the vein of Game & Watch that lasts WAY too long, you can even see how it takes most of that TAS. Like you said, the hit boxes are ridiculous, while the game isn't very forgiving. And EWJ2 already has way too many gimmick stages. Imagine being a little kid; you beat 2 great first stages; then you get Puppy Love, that weird salamander stage, that weird flying stage, then MORE Puppy Love. And there's still MORE Puppy Love left. I think in a perfect world it should have been an optional mini game, like e.g. in Sonic, and the trampoline should have been twice as wide.

As soon as I saw this comment, I knew for damn sure who you were referring to.

That waterfall makes me need to pee, though.

please explain

​​@@TrueClueTommy Tallarico, the music composer for this game, made a lot of false claims about projects that he was involved in or influenced. The "mother is very proud" became a meme of one of these claims because he supposedly stole credit for work that wasn't his.

somehow nowhere near the worst guy that worked on this game

I am so used to TAS doing things perfectly, it was messing with me this time. Thank you.

Thank you

i still dont know why Peter Puppy gets mad at Jim for the puppies hitting the ground, its the damn psy-crow throwing them, go beat HIS ass

Not only was this a sequel; but it then received another sequel. Ahhh the 90s.

The OST is just royalty free music. Used, presumably, because they needed a fast sequel after the success of the first game. Minimal effort, both, in terms of gameplay and production. And it shows.

@@smeghamr The ost is mostly classical music in some way shape or form. It gives the feeling of the old Loonie Toons shows who liberally abused those songs.

Up pupi

Upp

We all know about Doug, who's the other one?

@@taotd tommy tallarico claims to have worked on both games. I think hes only in the credits for 2 but even that is kinda suspect any more, as it seems he may have straight up lifted some of his classical arrangements from elsewhere. Either way he's buddies with Doug and loves having his name attatched to the series.

those are literally the only ones that play like ewj1, I don't blame you

That's telekinesis Jim

@@VyzeScarletmoon MIIIIIND BULLETS!!

Earthworm Jim was 100% an influence when it came to Pizza Tower, given how often McPig/PTG would talk about it

That's because the Mario Party formula didn' exist. MP2 and onward had streamlined the games, and the genre, whereas EWJ has minigames that go on *forever* while having little narrative features to play off of. There wasn't a half life to compare to, and EWJ was feeding off the comic books and TV show that span off. The 90's were weird, everyone had ideas and nobody knew if they worked so they tried.

sub 20min.ONLY !

Yea dude! That first level on display....i never seen half of it from what this video showes....i always got shoehorned to a dead end...

That's because the game was made in a hurry due to the success of the first game. A good example is the music, they didn't waste time or money composing it, they used royalty-free and done.

Psy-Crow

Lol

Indeed
