Earthworm Jim: Special Edition
The game's Special Edition was released for the Sega Genesis add-on, the Sega CD. It was based on the Genesis version, contained all of its levels, plus some extended section to the levels and a single completely new level, titled "Big Bruty", a new remixed CD audio soundtrack, as well as around 1,000 more frames of in-game animation. These versions were also the only ones to contain alternate endings when winning on the "Easy" or "Difficult" difficulties, in which a narrator rambles on about many (false) facts about worms or congratulates the player in a similar absurd manner respectively. The Special Edition was later ported to Windows 95 by Activision.

About This Game
Jim was an ordinary earthworm until a high-tech super suit fell from the sky and transformed him into something altogether more capable. Now he must evade a cast of villains determined to reclaim the suit while rescuing Princess What's-Her-Name from their clutches. He succeeds on both counts — only for the princess to show no interest in him whatsoever, and to be immediately flattened by the very cow Jim himself launched into the sky at the start of the whole ordeal.
