COWS. So many cows.
The sequel to Earthworm Jim takes the weirdness and cranks it up to 11. It's long, it's frustrating as hell, and it has no real password system...but overall, it's one of the best games of the 16-bit era. Well done, Shiny.
To do: Document all of the cheat codes. |

The European version of the game was built eight days after its US counterpart. The cheat screen's title was also changed between regions.
Unused Text
Located at 0x1C094B (US) and 0x1C0989 (Europe):
HEY, SHINY CREW ONLY!
This may have been meant to be used in a screen similar to the one featured in part one, but entering the code takes you directly to the Cheat menu, so it is never shown.
