Play Earthworm Jim (japan) Online

Earthworm Jim came out for the Super Nintendo in 1995, developed by Shiny Entertainment. It was part of that wave of games on the system that really pushed for a unique visual style and a sense of humor, standing out from the more straightforward platformers of the time.

You control Jim, an earthworm in a powerful robotic suit, navigating side-scrolling levels to rescue Princess What's-Her-Name. Your main goal is to get through each stage, which often involves screen by screen exploration, using Jim's gun to blast a variety of odd enemies, and using his own head as a whip to swing across gaps. The pacing is fast and the difficulty can be unforgiving, with levels that frequently change up the gameplay, shifting from running and gunning to racing down a tunnel or piloting a rocket. The feeling of controlling Jim is a mix of chaotic action and deliberate platforming, where you need to master his unusual moveset to survive.
