Earthworm Jim (animation)/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Big Lipped Alligator Moment]]: Jim's Now A Blind Cave Salamander (a.k.a. The Villi People)! This doubles as a [[Moment of Awesome (Sugar Wiki)|Moment of Awesome]] and triples with [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]] since [[Ludwig Van Beethoven|Moonlight Sonata]] is playing in the background.

** The second act of every episode starts with a short sketch that has nothing whatsoever to do with the plot. After it plays out, the narrator will announce that it's time to get back to the story.

* [[Fanon Discontinuity]]: ''Earthworm Jim 3D'', ''Menace 2 the Galaxy'' and the GBA rereleases are often subject to this.

** There are also some people who ignore ''[[Video Game Remake|Earthworm Jim HD]]'', or at least the new features, due to said new features being made without the involvement of the original team.

** The background during the boss battle with Evil the Cat features a legion of creepy, malicious stone faces. In some versions of the game, however, there`s just a regular pitch black background.

* [[Memetic Sex God|Memetic Sex Goddess]]: Princess What's-Her-Name.

* [[Porting Disaster]]: The first game was on many systems, but with the exception of the Sega CD and PC version, it got worse with each one! It lost a level on the SNES version, and you should expect what happened when they tried to port a game that pushed the Sega Genesis and Super Nintendo to the very limit onto the Game Gear and Game Boy. The GBA port of the first game wasn't all that bad, even adding the missing level from the SNES game. But [[EWJ 2]] on the other hand was a disaster.

** The [[DSiWare]] port wasn't too bad either.

** The SNES version also took a lot longer to actually start the levels, almost like it was loading them. The underwater stage was also missing its music, using New Junk City's theme instead.

** PC port tends to be remembered fondly, but not many realize there are two ports of the first game, that are made by two teams: one is a Special Edition port for Windows 95, other is a DOS port that came in Whole Can O'Worms edition. And while first is pretty good, second is not. While graphics are good and music was taken from Sega CD version, the controls are so-so, collision detection is not that good either and they took out not one, but two levels (Intestinal Distress and Who Turned Out The Lights?). The same team made PC port of Earthworm Jim 2, which has identical features to their port of [[EWJ 1]], but this time they took out only one level (Lorenzen's Soil). The saddest part is the version now available at GOG.com and Steam is the second one.
