Earthworm Jim 2 is an unlicensed port of the game of the same name, made for the Famicom by Shin-Shin Electronics and published by KaSheng in 1996.
Overview
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.

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, 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).
