Getting Started
At the title screen, press the start button to begin your adventure. Jim appears in the center of the screen ( he's the pink-headed guy in the space suit). Press left or right on the controller to make Jim run in those directions, and press jump to leap from the ground (bet you didn't know a worm could do that, did 'ya?). Press the jump button again while in mid-air to swing from gooey green ceilings, using your sidekick Snott as a rope.
Controls
Psycrow's convinced every crook on every planet to hunt down Earthworm Jim, so if you're thinking this will be a safe trip, you'd better think again! Fortunately, most of these foes are chumps, ranging from oversized ants to fat islanders launched from catapults. Hold down the fire button and point the controller in the direction of the bad guys to blow 'em away! If you're low on ammo, you can also press the whip button to snap Jim's flexible body like a whip.
Powerups
Generally, you'll beat stages by finding their exits. Thoroughly explore each stage to find the way out, and to collect helpful items that will boost your health and supply of ammunition. Blue atoms give Jim a small amount of health, while large red atoms fill it to the top. Weapons change the type of ammo you carry: for instance, homing homes make a beeline for the nearest threat, while the devastating brick house clears the entire screen of enemies.
Lives
You're risking life and Jim out there! You'll start the game with three lives, each with a limited amount of energy. Jim loses some of that energy when he falls on sharp objects, or is attacked by enemies. When all of it is gone, a life is lost, and you'll be returned to the last checkpoint you reached. Lose all your lives, and the game is over! You may return to the last stage you reached by entering the appropriate password at the title screen.
Tip: What's The Password?
Collect the Earth, Worm, and Jim icons hidden in each stage. You'll need to find all three icons and then complete the stage to receive the password for the next stage.
Tip: Wimpy Weapon
Steer clear of the bubble gun! This flashing weapon looks like a child's toy... and is about as effective as one. Instead of firing searing hot lasers, it spits out harmless soap bubbles.
Tip: Off the Beaten Path
There are two paths through each section of the Blind Cave Salamander stage... an easy path, and a hard one. The easy path is safest, but the hard path contains meal worms which can be used to compete in the game show at the end of the stage.
