The Super NES version of Shiny's groovy platform shooter starring a worm empowered by a mysterious space suit features one less level, the gurgling Intestinal Distress, as well as fewer voice samples than in its Genesis counterpart. Added color, lens flare effects, and multiple layers of parallax scrolling help offset the omissions, but the music isn't much of an improvement considering the differences in systems. Control is also a bit tighter in the Genesis version, but Earthworm Jim is still one of the most challenging, diverse, and humorous platform games on a system filled with quality platform games. Wonderfully weird.
