About Earthworm Jim
Earthworm Jim started as a 1994 run-and-gun platformer from Shiny Entertainment, then grew into sequels and a 23-episode Kids WB cartoon. The games play in release order and the cartoon stands alone, so nothing here needs timeline sorting.
Play the two Shiny originals first, watch the cartoon any time after, and treat the 1999 games as optional curiosities.
Good to know
Earthworm Jim 4 was announced for the Intellivision Amico, but the console never launched and the game is widely believed to be on hold. The Beyond the Groovy cartoon announced in 2021 has had no dated update since 2022, so both stay out of the list below.
