This version is considerably more faithful to the SNES version, than it is of the Mega Drive version. Graphics and music are more faithful to the original Earthworm Jim 2, than [[Super Game]]'s [[Earthworm Jim 2 (Super Game)|version]]. It has 4 based levels off of: ''Anything But Tangerines'', ''Granny Chair'', ''Puppy Love'', and ''Udderly Abducted'', although Shin-Shin's version has far more responsive controls. The ending is an 8-bit screenshot of the "Well done!" cows seen after each level of the original game.

Overview
This version is considerably more faithful to the SNES version, than it is of the Mega Drive version. Graphics and music are more faithful to the original Earthworm Jim 2, than Super Game's version. It has 4 based levels off of: Anything But Tangerines, Granny Chair, Puppy Love, and Udderly Abducted, although Shin-Shin's version has far more responsive controls. The ending is an 8-bit screenshot of the "Well done!" cows seen after each level of the original game.

Trivia
For unknown reasons, the cow in the Moo Tango level was replaced with a pig.
The NT 849 cartridge has a label that reads "Olympics '96"
Earthworm Jim 2 cartridge.
, placing the release likely in that year.
Another ROM of this game exists that replaces Granny Chair with Lorenzen's Soil.
It turns out the game was a lot longer, from other ROMs played, but the released version was actualy sold unfinished.
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).
