You can also switch between weapons using the number keys. By combining a jump and duck, you can stomp open crates that contain power-ups and bonus items. Both rabbits have their own special moves and abilities: Jazz can use his ears to glide down slowly and can jump higher, while Spaz is faster and can pull off an awesome karate kick and a two-phase jump. You can play at any of the three difficulty levels as either Jazz or Spaz, Jazz's more devious brother.

The gameplay remains the same as Jazz Jackrabbit, but with a much-improved engine and better everything. In order to complete the time machine, he (strangely enough) stole a wedding ring that Jazz gave to his beloved. This time, he came up with an ingenious idea: go back in time to kill Jazz's parents, thus preventing him from being born in the first place.

The big bad guy from the original game, doctor Devan Shell the mad turtle scientist, is back with another nefarious plot to kill our hero. In addition to smoothly animated cartoons, funny antics, and varied levels, JJ2 boasts a charming plot that is told via comic-book style intro movie (missing from this CD-rip, though). Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is a superb 2D platformer, a sequel to Epic Megagames' earlier shareware classic Jazz Jackrabbit. One of the best side-scrolling arcade games ever made, bar none.
