This version is considerably more faithful to the SNES version, than it is of the Mega Drive version. Graphics and music are true to the original game. It has several based levels off of: ''Anything But Tangerines'', ''Granny Chair'', ''Puppy Love'', ''Udderly Abducted'', and a possible "See Jim Run, Run Jim Run". although Shin-Shin's version has far more responsive controls and recognizable Soundtrack. The ending is an 8-bit screenshot of the "Well done!" cows seen after each level of the original game. It is also known to be better than the port by Super Game, although being so short.

This article is about the Shin-Shin version. For the Super Game version, see Earthworm Jim 2 (Super Game).

Earthworm Jim 2 (蚯蚓吉姆2) is an unlicensed port of the game of the same name, made for the Famicom by a team of (or at least related to) Ex-Sachen developers and published by Ka Sheng in 1996.

Overview

Lorenzo

Screencap from the removed "Lorenzo's Soil" level.

This version is considerably more faithful to the SNES version than it is to the Mega Drive version. Graphics and music are taken from the original game, but the graphics are less accurate than those of Super Game's port, although Shin-Shin's version has far more responsive controls and somewhat more recognizable music. It has several levels based off of Anything But Tangerines, Granny Chair, Puppy Love, Udderly Abducted, and a possible "See Jim Run, Run Jim Run". The ending is an 8-bit screenshot of the "Well done!" cows seen after each level of the original game. Unlike Super Game's port, Jim can whip, although it's useless, and has limited ammo, but cannot use the Snott backpack.
