Trivia
- There's an unused sprite of Jim looking disappointed that is loaded into memory on the options screen but never used. This sprite is from an animation where Jim has a yo-yo that is used on the Game Over screen in the SNES version.
- For unknown reasons, the cow in Udderly Abducted was replaced with a pig.
- The NT 849 cartridge has a label that reads "Olympics '96", placing the release likely in that year.
- Another ROM of this game exists that replaces Granny Chair with Lorenzen's Soil, but is featured in the "Start" menu in "EWJ 2" (SHIN-SHIN), as it reveals gameplay of this level, if controls are not touched.
- A hack of this game exists called "Earthworm Jim 4", that has Lorenzen's Soil, Puppy Love, Udderly Abducted, and an unknown level (possibly based on See Jim Run, Run Jim Run, but is nothing but blackness, and the Udderly Abducted tune, with odd notes in it).
- This game has a very strong anti-copy protection[1].
- The passwords screens have "password" misspelled as "passward".
