Running has been mapped to a separate button, so you’re not constantly dashing around into everything at full speed. Gameplay-wise, there’s been a lot of changes since the original Jazz Jackrabbit, and pretty much all of them are for the better. While the original game was definitely inspired by stuff like Bugs Bunny, the sequel has much more of a Saturday morning cartoon vibe, which fits perfectly, considering the character. The game starts off with a nicely animated intro FMV, which is basically what the opening would be if Jazz actually had a cartoon. The only time the story actually shows up at any point is the manual, though, so none of this matters very much. The queen declares Jazz a fraud and throws him in the dungeon, where his slightly psychotic brother Spaz rescues him. Suddenly, Devan Shell appears and steals Jazz’s giant wedding ring to power a time machine (how very Day of the Tentacle), where he plans to conquer the universe before Jazz is even born. Jazz can also pick up various power-ups, including a force shield, a hoverboard that allows him to float in the air, a bird that will fight on Jazz's side, and others.Some time after the original Jazz Jackrabbit, Jazz and the princess are set to be married. Jazz starts with a blaster, but during the course of the game acquires other weapons, such as grenade launcher, flamethrower, TNT, etc. The game is primarily a shooter, meaning that in order to defeat his enemies, it's not enough for Jazz to jump over their heads. However, the rest of the gameplay mechanics are different. The similarity to Sonic the Hedgehog manifests itself in Jazz's uncanny speed, and the fact it increases the more he runs. In this platform game, Jazz, the hero of the rabbit planet Carrotus, must rescue the beloved rabbit princess, Eva Earlong, and defeat the leader of the turtle terrorists, Devan Shell, traveling to different planets to gather clues concerning Eva's whereabouts while liberating them from Shell's tyranny. Jazz Jackrabbit is the PC world's answer to Sonic the Hedgehog.
