The GBA version of Earthworm Jim 2 is a, shall we say, unfortunate port of the SNES version...but at least it has a working password system this time around.
Hyper Cheat Screen#
During gameplay, pause and press Select, Left, Right, A, B, B, Left, Right.
Menu item |
Operation |
|---|---|
GOD MODE |
Enables invincibility. |
START LEVEL |
Use A and B to select a level, then press Start to begin. |
PAUSE DIM |
This would presumably make it so the game freezes on the current frame to allow screenshots to be taken like what the option does in other versions of the game, but it doesn't seem to work here. It is possible the pause screen code was rewritten at one point in development. |
MAP VIEW |
Use the D-Pad to move the camera around the level; press A to move Jim to the current location. |
Oddities#
Entering an invalid password on the password screen plays the "Y" sound from the game show segment of Villi People. As this is a strange sound to use, it is possible that sound effect's slot was taken up by another sound effect at one point, perhaps the "wrong answer" sound effect also from the game show which isn't present at all in this version unlike other versions.
