Out of the ten stages, only three of them are tradition run-and-jump levels. The issue with Earthworm Jim 2 is that the focus has been taken away from standard action platforming, and replaced with a number of gimmicky stages. Otherwise, the graphics and sound quality is pretty much on par with the original game.

Jim has some new animations – including a strange idle animation where he seems to jog in place, and his running animation has been changed from a cool, confident stride to weird little prance. There are several more guns to use in Earthworm Jim 2, including a new version of the homing rocket from the Special Edition, as well as a useless bubble gun, a three-way gun, and a gigantic brick house gun that destroys everything on the screen and leaves Jim in a daze.
