  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO Janna2000, SelfCloak or RRabbit42. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

Trivia about Earthworm Jim (video game) includes:

  • Creator Backlash: Creator Doug Ten Napel and original series designer David Perry both hated what was done in Earthworm Jim 3D, but couldn't legally do anything to stop it. Doug in particular felt that Earthworm Jim 3D ruined the series.
  • God Does Not Own This World: The only reason Earthworm Jim 3D was allowed to go as it was.
  • Keep Circulating the Tapes: Earthworm Jim 3D and Menace 2 the Galaxy. Not that anyone cares.
    • As for individual levels, Big Bruty, from the Sega CD and Windows 95 versions of the original, gets this, even being excluded from the HD remake. If not for the Wii Virtual Console release of the port of the Sega Genesis/Megadrive version, Who Turned Out the Lights, which also got shafted from the HD remake, would have been this as well. And then there are the speeches, which serve as alternate endings in the Sega CD and Windows 95 versions as well.
  • Port Overdosed: The original game. Not only was it ported to every contemporary system, including handhelds, but it has been almost continually re-released since then.
  • What Could Have Been: A PSP game was planned, and apparently almost done, but due to financial difficulties, it was cancelled.
    • Sega also considered the possibility of putting a port of the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version of the original on Xbox Live Arcade, and made a poll with some other games to see people's opinions on whether it or other games should be on there. They scrapped that possibility when they found out that Gameloft was working on an HD remake for the same service.
    • Both Doug Ten Napel and David Perry initially served as minor consultants for Earthworm Jim 3D, but were dropped for unknown reasons. One can only wonder how it would have turned out had they stayed.
