Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this comedic shooter, players control Earthworm Jim, a regular worm who gains superpowers after a high-tech space suit lands on him. The objective is to navigate through bizarre, humor-filled levels while battling intergalactic bounty hunters and eccentric villains. Ultimately, Jim must rescue a princess and stop the evil Queen Pulsating from achieving world domination.
Story
The Worm Has Turned (Into a Super Hero)
It's a day like any other. A crow is chasing a worm, a worm named Jim. Today the worm escapes to safety and the crow eats dirt.
Meanwhile, in outer space, Psy-Crow is chasing a small renegade ship. The ship's pilot has stolen an ultra high tech indestructible super space cyber suit. Psy-Crow overtakes the renegade ship and they face off head to head. Psy-Crow pulls his gun. The renegade pulls an even bigger gun.
Wrought with gun envy, Psy-Crow pulls out a huge monster gun. The renegade, realizing he has been outmatched, pleads for mercy. But Psy-Crow, under direct orders from the evil Queen Pulsating, Bloated, Festering, Sweaty, Puss-filled, Malformed, Slug for a Butt, blasts the renegade and his entire ship to smithereens.
The suit falls gently to a strange planet below. The strange planet is our planet. PLANET EARTH.
Back on Earth, our slimy hero is wondering if it's safe, and if he has eluded the crow. Jim looks left, then right. It seems he has given the crow the slip. Jim returns to his normal daily life, cruising about avoiding crows and doing other general worm-like things.
Jim is suddenly struck by a very large ultra high tech indestructible super space cyber suit. Through sheer luck, Jim rests safely in the neck ring of the suit. Suddenly, the ultra high tech space particles of the suit begin interacting with Jim's wormy flesh. A radical light speed evolution takes place.
Jim soon realizes he is in control of the suit, and we witness the birth of Earthworm Jim! Jim checks out the suit and notices a red thingie attached to his side, which just happens to be a plasma blaster. He pulls it out of the holster and starts playing with the buttons.
Meanwhile, off in the distance, the crow is still looking for his lunch. Jim finds the trigger and lets loose with a plasma blast. BLAMO! The crow is torched.
Taking a moment to gather his thoughts, Jim leans up against a tree. Due to the suit's incredible power, Jim forces the tree over, right on top of the now barely conscious crow. His lifetime nemesis is never to be seen again.
Our hero thinks he's got it pretty easy now, but... he hears something in the distance. Psy-Crow, the intergalactic bounty hunter is standing over a burn in the grass, which the suit had left behind. Peering over the toppled tree, Jim sees Psy-Crow talking to the Queen, informing her that the suit is very near.
The Queen knows that the suit will make her even more beautiful than her imprisoned twin sister, βPrincess-What's-Her-Name.β Jim decides he needs to meet this Princess and dashes off to find her before Psy-Crow can find him and the suit.
The Levels (cont.)
Down the Tubes
Bob the goldfish knows that EWJ's super suit could make him ruler of the world. Maybe even the universe!!! Controlling the drone cat minions in his underwater lair, Bob will use his servants to find you wherever you hide, high or low. Don't let the size of Bob's kitten guards fool you - they're just as powerful as the cats! Hamsters galore!
Snot a Problem
Bungee jumping is scary enough without Major Mucus trying to bash you into the walls, but that's exactly his plan. As your bungee cord gets thinner and thinner, your life hangs on a few measly threads!!! But that's not all. Mucus Phlegm Brain is waiting for you to get too close to the pool of snot or fall in - he's waiting for lunch!
Level 5
The Professor would love to have Earthworm Jim on the dissection table, but that darn super suit keeps him safe. The Professor wants that suit back - after all, he designed it for the Queen. Of course, he could make another one... if only that darn monkey hadn't eaten the blueprints. That's another can of worms entirely. You'd better keep an eye out for the Professor's creepy science experiments, they're everywhere.
Andy Asteroids
Ready for a wild ride through space? Well hold on to your seat because between each level Psy-Crow is right on your tail! Dodge the asteroids and try knocking Psy-Crow off his rocket backpack to help you get to the finish line alive. Grab the Atomic Accelerators along the way to leave Psy-Crow eating your heavy ions. Of course if you're traveling that fast, you'll want to stock up on shields...unless you're an expert Pilot.
Buttville
It's dark, there's lightning in the distance, and you've got to keep your head in order to stay alive. You're now facing the Queen and her minions head to head, so use yours.
The Queen is using her control over all the insects in order to stop you. Everywhere you turn, one of her followers is going to be there. You may think it's hopeless, but it's not. Try to control your every move here. Any mistakes will probably be your last.
How to Play
Getting Started
To begin playing, ensure your Nintendo Game Boy Advance is turned off before inserting the EARTHWORM JIM Game Pak. After inserting the cartridge, turn on your console.
Wait for the Majesco Logo Screen to appear, then press START to reach the Title Screen. If nothing appears, turn the power OFF, check the cartridge insertion, and try again. Always power off before inserting or removing the Game Pak.
Options Screen
From the Title Screen, you can access the Options Screen by pressing Control Pad UP or DOWN to highlight βOPTIONSβ and pressing any button. Within this menu, you can change the button layout by highlighting the Control Pad option and pressing the A Button.
Difficulty Levels
There are three difficulty settings: Practice, Normal, and Difficult. Each level changes several aspects of the game.
β’
Practice: You cannot watch fishing shows, salt makes you cringe, you don't own action figures, and you haven't figured out the hamster gags.
β’
Normal: You have ordered the action figures, juggle fishing lures, call him EWJ, and are beginning to make hamster jokes yourself.
β’
Difficult: You swim in trout-infested waters, sunbathe on the hottest day of the year, and swim in the Dead Sea.
Game Screen HUD
β’
Worms Left: Indicates the number of additional Jim lives remaining. Look everywhere for hidden free lives.
β’
Suit Energy: Shows the percentage of energy left. This decreases when attacked or touching enemies. At zero, you lose a life. Find energy floating in levels or by defeating enemies.
β’
Plasma Shots: Displays the number of plasma rounds remaining. Pick up energy clips, but use shots carefully. The gun recharges slowly when empty, but avoiding depletion is strongly advised.
Level 1: New Junk City
Menacing crows, giant mutant garbage cans, the junkyard owner Chuck, and his dog Fifi try to kill you. Bounce from tire to tire or slide across zip lines to grab power-ups. Watch out, as Fifi's bites are worse than her bark.
Level 2: What the Heck?
Welcome to Planet Heck. As Evil the Cat dances, navigate the tricky maze. Step quickly as it can get hot for Jim even in his indestructible suit. Jog on gems for an uplifting experience, but don't let Jim get a hot foot.
Level 3: For Pete's Sake
Walking the dog has never been like this. If you let little Peter fall, his temper gets the best of him and he mutates into a ravenous hulking giant. Meteor showers and flying saucers are hazards, and the Unipus' tentacles can kill you.
Level 4: Intestinal Distress
This level features disgusting gross bad guys, flying fish spitting and biting fish, and a boss that will put a major squeeze on you. It is quite gross.

Tips & Maps
Movement Strategy
Try not to stay in the same place too long, as a moving target is tougher to hit.
Firing Strategy
Limit firing to short bursts of plasma to save rounds for later.
Head Whip
Use your whip-like head to destroy enemies or swing from place to place.
Glider Head
With a part-time propeller for a head, Jim can gently glide down a chasm he leaps into.
Pull Up
If hanging around is a bad idea, pull yourself up by your bootstraps to get out of the way.
Atom Collection
Gather as many atoms as possible before the end of each stage to defeat bosses, and monitor your plasma gun's energy level since recharging takes longer in jams.
Secrets
Search around and closely look at what you see, as many secrets are off the screen or hidden ahead, below, above, or to the side.
Psy-Crow Race
Beat Psy-Crow in the asteroid race to keep him from causing problems on every level, and laugh at the asteroid joke to avoid losing a turn.
Defeating the Queen
Stop the Queen from laying eggs to defeat her.
Peter Strategy
Keep Peter moving along most of the time, but figure out how to stop or slow him down when needed.
Cookie Baking Tip
Making cookies with butter-flavored shortening rather than butter or margarine keeps them from flattening out too much during baking.
Fuel Pads
Collect as many blue Fuel Pads as possible during the Andy Asteroids races.
