Earthworm Jim is an action game that was also released on the Super Nintendo in 1994.
+ Never sticks to one concept very long and throws in giant hamster rides, sea pod sections, and even bungee cord fights.
+ Andy Asteroids racing levels are an absolute blast and easily could have been fleshed out into their own game.
+ Combat features some awesome weaponry, and learning how to use each one effectively while conserving ammo is fun.
- Relies heavily on trial-and-error and infrequent, yet obtuse game design which can artificially inflate overall play time.
- Later stages put too much onus on screwing the player with instant death traps and unwaveringly difficult bosses.
- Music is mostly ill-fitting and the tunes generally don't mirror or compliment the stage setting that they're wrapped around.
