BlueTarantulaProductions you know I always thought that to, he would actually fit in really fucking well. But a lot of people I ask have never even heard of this game series lol.
When you get to the end of the video you will see why the original got taken down :( Sadly these things happen from time to time and its really not worth the possible strike against my channel to fight it (well, not in my eyes anyway) So, here it is the 5th Complete History I ever did posing as the 52nd :P Normal programming will resume within the next week with a brand new Record Unboxing, Kick-Scammers AND HOPEFULLY a brand new Complete History too :) Thank you all for your support, it really does mean the world to me!

Depending on where it was banned...in US Copyright law you are allowed to use pretty much whatever content you want as long as it constitutes a report or commentary. RUclips is based in America, so I think you'd easily have a claim. Many of my videos use copyrighted music and I'm allowed to get away with it because of fair use demonstrative/educational purposes.
I'm happy to say that the secret level "Who Turned Out The Lights?" is actually in the Mega Drive/Genesis version. It's accessible from a secret warp in Level 5 (Of which actually is the 5th level of the game if you don't count the Andy Asteroids levels). Can't remember the exact location, but I can promise you that the warp is there. :-)
Ruudos Aye, the Mega Drive and Mega CD versions are the only ones I've played, and I found the warp on the Mega Drive version at the very least. Can't remember if it appears in the Mega CD version though. It more than likely does.
The warp to "Who Turned Out the Lights" is near the end of the first section of Level 5 after you see Monkey for a Head turning valves releasing those eye ball thingies and as you whip across two spikes onto a platform before the final stretch there's a platform with some red dots that looks like a warp...jump up into it and voila. Secret level found.
Intestinal Distress was removed from the SNES version because Sega paid Shiny to include an exclusive stage to their version. The art director Nick Bruty revealed this in an interview long ago, Nintendo did not have issue with third party developers including that kind of stuff in their games.
Thank you so much for doing such a thorough video game history of Earthworm Jim. I'm working with a channel who's doing a review of the entire TV series, and I wanted to start from the beginning. Unfortunately, none of us had played any of the games, so this was incredibly helpful. It's wonderful to go level by level with someone who loved the first two games so much.
The '90s was riddled with fads - Gak - Yak Bak (and Yak Bak 2) - Talkboy Deluxe - Beanie Babies - Tiger LCD games - POGs - Skip-It and of course the 6 things that surpassed their fad status in the '90s: Tamagotchi, Pokemon, Power Rangers, Sonic The Hedgehog and TMNT
Earthworm Jim is a show that's an underrated classic. Great? No, but good, memorable, and silly. Worth watching at least once, and some excellent voice actors, too. (And, of course, the theme song.)
Someone finally got the humour of the game, every bit of the levels is great, the jokes are real decent and quite funny, but the ending was fucking hilarious, even funnier than Boogerman (if you only focus on the burps, fart and decent toilet humour)
If you want to play a Spiritual successor I recommend Wild 9 on the Playstation. From what I know it is made by some of the people who worked on the series. It's not the best game in the world but it is not bad either. It is a 2.5D platformer with great humour and crazy gameplay.
0:50 - the precursor to collecting the most stupidest shit ever . . . Pogs . . . Basically someone turned the glass milk caps into collectors game for kids and made millions. I had a wicked slammer in the shape of a sawblade.
You missed an opportunity to say 'JIm pulled a rocket from his pocket', instead of a spaceship. I remember renting this game from a local rental place as a teen and me and my cousin laughing for like 10 minutes when I said 'Did he just pull a rocket out of his pocket?!' Running joke to this day...
think of it like this: earthworm jim was made for the genesis first. to put it on the snes they basically “stretched” it out. if you look at the sprites of jim you’ll see how it’s stretched on the snes! i love some of the ost from the snes more but the genesis triumphs. i’ve noticed that on the snes i have hitbox issues and take damage easier, which is a crutch in a game where you need all the health you can get. the sound effects are so much better on the genesis. the manual for the snes ver. is in color and better than the genesis ver., if you ask me. the genesis game has a plastic shell where i believe the snes is cardboard. the best version of this game is of course the CD version but goes for around $200 usd currently. if you want to play ej, pick up a copy of the genesis version and enjoy!
The bonus level in the genesis version is there because of a deal with Sega 😵 Sega asked for an exclusive level for a better deal on cartridge production costs
loved this game as a kid! Also I'm pretty sure that under water level got the concept from the ninja turtles nintendo game where you have to deactivate the bombs while trying not to swim into the rocks. Both were equally hard but so satisfying when you would actually beat them!
The "Who Turned the Lights Off" bonus level isn't exclusive to SNES. The Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version has that too. Also, from what I've heard, the "Intestinal Distress" level came about when Sega wanted their version to have an exclusive level, so they asked Shiny to make one in exchange for lowering the cartridge costs. Also, "Level 5" is the actual fifth level on the original Mega Drive version and the later versions added stuff which moved Level 5 further into the game.
Shiny (oh how we miss you) put Jim in as a kind of cameo in their game Sacrifice as the god James who looked like a worm and was the god of earthy stuff.
when I was a wee little lad, I had the opportunity to tour virgin game studios in orange county where I lived. It was so amazing that I spent the better part of my adult youth trying to chase the essence of that exact workplace. I made it eventually, however, working in video games sucks and is soul crushing.
I mentioned this before on the original upload, there's a Win95 CD-ROM version of EWJ1 published by Activision that outdoes the Sega CD/Mega CD release, but is one of the most stubborn titles to get working right on anything post-WinME. I know all this because I still own it (jewel case only; I lost the PC box a long time ago). It should also be worth noting that, since I originally commented on all this, I cannot find any info as to a European release, so maybe that was why you had no knowledge of the release. GOG selling only the DOS version in the Can 'O Worms bundle CD doesn't help your cause, either, and I (apocryphally) believe the DOS versions sold better, possibly because the release was closer to the mainstream relevance of the 1st title to the franchise. After all, EWJ2 was likely already out or around the corner when Win95 EWJ1 was released. Win95 was released in August 95, and at the very least, my disc has a copyright of 95, while EWJ2 was in November that year. Sorry I still can't help more than this. I'm not surprised about the strike, it was only a matter of time, I suppose.
I also had that Win95 CD-ROM version. There had to have been some form of European release of it, because I ended up with it. But yeah, it definitely seems better than any of the versions listed.
There's so many games that hold a special place in our memory. That came along in the perfect time in our lives and in the history of the industry that were a shining showcase of what the medium could be. Then we try and play them today and we quickly learn how deceptive memory can be (Final Fantasy VII, anyone?). Where they just don't up. And then there's the Earthworm Jim games that not only hold up today but who's animation has only been matched a small handful of times.
This game used to creep me out when I was a kid.. One day I've played the EWJ 1 on snes and fell asleep. The other day I woke up with my tv turned off and went to school, when I came back and turned the tv on there was the title screen (and loading screen of each stage ) on 6:09 of this video with the weird snes song of the first stage playing. I was creeped out and kinda of scared of the game ever since. On the secret stage "Who Turned Out The Lights?" on snes exclusively, at the end of the stage there was a huge cat eyes on the dark and when you encounter EWJ give a scream and you die if you don't do anything (like run back). This scared so much that I ran from my bedroom immediatly. Good memories!
There was a glitch in that hot air balloon bomb level. When you turned around at the very start and pushed the bomb against the edge of the screen and shot it yourself, a new bomb would then appear but both you and it would be immune to all damage. Made it pretty easy.
Earthworm Jim was always my favourite childhood platform shooting game of the SNES for me, but the MegaDrive versions feels so much better, even though the SNES ports are not bad. both very challenging and funny, but the ending of EWJ2, make me cry just from laughing, the entire game is so weird and wacky, it's a shame no one talks about it.
Fun video about the history of Earthworm Jim, but still there is some missing info like EWJ:HD got also a Windows Phone (WP) version too (but I don't know if got some extras) and also that Jim got a weird guest star appearance as a fighter in a fighting game called: Battle Arena Toshinden but only on the PC version.
Man this brought back from memories! I use to love the bungee fight with Major mucus! I remember giving up on slug for a butt, she took so many hits! I thought I was doing something wrong!
Not sure if you were aware of this when you made the video but I think the PC version also had that big brutie level. I definitely remember playing it on the PC version (along with intestinal distress but not the extra SNES part). I remember calling it the Jenga block level due to the way wooden planks looked.
Actually, the Sega Genesis version of Earthworm Jim DID have the special “dark” section in Level 5. I know because I only had the Sega Genesis and EWJ was one of my favorite games and it was one of those games that I personally made my goal to find all the secrets. The Dark section of Level 5 was my favorite part of Level 5. :)
All they had to do was re-release EWJ 1 and 2 on the Switch or something. I don't understand why that hasn't happened, but it could be for all kinds of unpleasant licencing reasons. Hopefully the 4th one the original team are developing for the Intellivision Amico will act as a palette cleanser for this series...but we'll find out I guess.
Dude, the secret level "who turned out the lights" was NOT a Snes exclusive...It was in the Megadrive version too! I played it to death back in the day!
I always remember the snes version having less frames of animation, or a slower fps. My friend had the gensis (megadrive) version and I had the snes version, and we both felt that the gensis version was superior. There were a few ports like that, like Aladdin.
There were a couple incorrect things you stated (ewj1) but you caught my attention at earthworm Jim 2’s sega Saturn vs PlayStation bit, Saturn from my knowledge has background parallax scrolling giving the backgrounds more depth, PlayStations backgrounds are fairly static, but that’s the only difference I can spot (as I’ve never played each port my self)
You missed a... kinda-sorta earthworm Jim in another game. In the (criminally underrated) strategy game "Sacrifice" the god of earth is an earthworm... named James. This was also a Shiny release.
WOOW...looking back I knew Earthworm Jim was a game above normal for it's time!!...But man I had No idea it was pushed like it was!!.(that grandma commercial was BANANAS!! Lmaooo🤣🤣🤣 imagine being a young kid watching that back in the day!!?.. jeez...def a zany commercial & Game!! & But Great gameplay!!... I'm still amazed at the shit could get way with back then lol!!!..But despite the Craziness of EWJ 1& 2 was waay Light Years Ahead of its Time!!! Still Great fun to play even to this present day!!..(hats OFF to the BOLD CREATOR'S OF THIS DOPE GAME!!🙌🏽💥🙌🏽💥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
I was lucky enough to get this game not know anything about it for my birthday and hands down my favorite sega game ever. I’m confused though, the sega version had the secret “in the dark” level but you said it didn’t? Or am I confused.
Oh, I remember seeing this back it was on demand for verizon's 8 bit section with My plastic heaven and Blackman & Robin (now 1 rule be cool) for gaming news and content.

Daniel Ibbertson - Your voice! Where are all the deep growls and low pitched jokes?! Who is this young fellow!?
I really do need to go through your backlog. I’ve been watching your videos for a couple of years now (on Larry’s Channel for most of that, haha).
Damn, I loved that theme song. What in Odin's name is wrong with RUclips's copyright system?
Depending on where it was banned...in US Copyright law you are allowed to use pretty much whatever content you want as long as it constitutes a report or commentary. RUclips is based in America, so I think you'd easily have a claim. Many of my videos use copyrighted music and I'm allowed to get away with it because of fair use demonstrative/educational purposes.
I don't really understand why this preempts new content, but ok. You could just say you wanted to take a week off, that's understandable.
The Earthworm Jim series has my favorite art styles and character designs of all time. All random and goofy. Peak 90s
I'm happy to say that the secret level "Who Turned Out The Lights?" is actually in the Mega Drive/Genesis version. It's accessible from a secret warp in Level 5 (Of which actually is the 5th level of the game if you don't count the Andy Asteroids levels).

Yep, it's in the Mega CD version too - I was listening to the Redbook soundtrack just last week!
The warp to "Who Turned Out the Lights" is near the end of the first section of Level 5 after you see Monkey for a Head turning valves releasing those eye ball thingies and as you whip across two spikes onto a platform before the final stretch there's a platform with some red dots that looks like a warp...jump up into it and voila.

That. I distinctly remember to play this part on mega drive and was very confused by the video. I don't even remember it was a secret.

The '90s was riddled with fads
- Gak
- Yak Bak (and Yak Bak 2)
- Talkboy Deluxe
- Beanie Babies
- Tiger LCD games
- POGs
- Skip-It
and of course the 6 things that surpassed their fad status in the '90s: Tamagotchi, Pokemon, Power Rangers, Sonic The Hedgehog and TMNT
James Fox - Hey, don’t knock on Skip-It! It was the only way I could play jump rope as a kid!
I was a bit of a social pariah...😐
James Fox that’s only 5 things
Do Creepy Crawlers count as a fad?
TMNT began in the 80s though.
@@kingboobs20 Got a lot of traction in the nineties though. Another good thing from the past, namely the nineties? The Powerpuff Girls!

I seriously had a good laugh with the edited ending. it actually improves the video.
EWJ 2 is Tex Avery humor to the extreme, I LOVED IT , I like the first. But the second is so insane i can't not love it
Someone finally got the humour of the game, every bit of the levels is great, the jokes are real decent and quite funny, but the ending was fucking hilarious, even funnier than Boogerman (if you only focus on the burps, fart and decent toilet humour)
The level Who Turned out the Lights is not exclusive to the SNES version -- Genesis and Sega CD versions both have it. Thanks for the EJ video!

I bought this game for my young kids when it came out, needless to say, I played it 5 hours a day until I got through it! I was good!!!
Earthworm Jim, both the games and the TV show went a long way to shaping my sense of humour and childhood in general.

I can't believe I watched this video so long ago. Where have the last 6 years gone?
BTW the HD remake doesn't have "Who Turned Out the Lights?"...
I think it was because they couldn't be bothered to go grab the collision data
Internal distress was a genisis excusuve level because sega asked them to make another level due to how much size limitations are left. I think...
Not sure if you were aware of this when you made the video but I think the PC version also had that big brutie level.

It's actually impossible to beat this game on the original genesis without a Game Pro Magazine strategy guide.
Guess what?
I always remember the snes version having less frames of animation, or a slower fps. My friend had the gensis (megadrive) version and I had the snes version, and we both felt that the gensis version was superior. There were a few ports like that, like Aladdin.
Aladdin games are 2 completely different games for both systems, none of them is a port.
The special edition is basically the PC version. I have the PC version and I remember dealing with Bug Bruty, not to mention the homing missiles

WOOW...looking back I knew Earthworm Jim was a game above normal for it's time!!...But man I had No idea it was pushed like it was!!.(that grandma commercial was BANANAS!! Lmaooo🤣🤣🤣 imagine being a young kid watching that back in the day!!?.. jeez...def a zany commercial & Game!! & But Great gameplay!!... I'm still amazed at the shit could get way with back then lol!!!..But despite the Craziness of EWJ 1& 2 was waay Light Years Ahead of its Time!!! Still Great fun to play even to this present day!!..(hats OFF to the BOLD CREATOR'S OF THIS DOPE GAME!!🙌🏽💥🙌🏽💥🔥🔥💯💯💯💯
I still have the Princess What's Her Name figure.
Wait, Jim had toys!? Oh my god I missed something awesome!
I didnt know meat was gonna make an appearance at the end
I was lucky enough to get this game not know anything about it for my birthday and hands down my favorite sega game ever. I’m confused though, the sega version had the secret “in the dark” level but you said it didn’t? Or am I confused.
Oh, I remember seeing this back it was on demand for verizon's 8 bit section with My plastic heaven and Blackman & Robin (now 1 rule be cool) for gaming news and content.
I played kid chameleon, a game of the same generation. It’s hard as hell, quite fun but difficult.
This is going to need to be updated! ;)
Indeed some of the info was slightly incorrect but most was "Well Done." ;-)
The music was fantastic on the Megadrive versions ☺
This ain't the complete history anymore! Check out the Earthworm Jim Indiegogo and the brand new game coming to the intellivision Amico!
It's sad that the HD remaster was pulled from online stores.
The megadrive version has the secret level also, I had the game when i was a kid and i was entering there
Where can we submit a kickscammer, that I was tempted to almost support when I found out about it?
