Jazz Jackrabbit is a platform game developed by Epic MegaGames (now known as Epic Games). It was released in 1994 for the PC. Jazz Jackrabbit was created by Cliff Bleszinski and Arjan Brussee, and inspired by classic console games such as Super Mario Bros or Sonic The Hedgehog.

Jazz Jackrabbit is a platform game produced by Epic MegaGames (now known as Epic Games). It was released in 1994 for the PC, and was created by Cliff Bleszinski.  It shares some similarities with the Sonic the Hedgehog games, and has been described as "Sonic The Hedgehog with guns".  The game features six episodes; each episode consists of three worlds consisting of two stages and third boss stage.  Unlike Sonic, Jazz has a life bar which can be replenished by collecting carrots, and he defeats his enemies by shooting them with an arsenal of weaponry rather than by jumping on them.

The game's storyline escalates the interspecies rivalry found originally in the fable of the "tortoise and the hare" into an intergalactic conflict.  In it, Jazz must liberate the rabbit planet of Carrotus from the evil turtle mastermind Devan Shell and his reptile army, saving Princess Eva Earlong in the process.

Here's a short description of each planet Jazz visits (from the official game manual):

Diamondus
Pretty colors.
A beautiful grassland planet with a healthy atmosphere and plenty of goodies. However, the turtles know this also and are pillaging the land as we speak!






Tubelectric
Electric Boogaloo.
This planet is full of electronic mayhem. Once a giant munitions factory, it was abandoned after a freak accident involving one of the nuclear reactors.






Medivo

Nice helmet.
The atmosphere of this ghostly planet is incredibly thick; so thick that it is constantly rainingon the surface. The planet is covered with enormous marble ruins wich holds many secrets.






Letni
Bugs and bunnies.
This is Devan's ENORMOUS supercomputer designed for building battleships, destroyers, and figuring out where to get lunch on a rainy Tuesday afternoon.






Technoir

Cityscape.
Bathed in a choking red atmosphere, this planet has NO plant life upon it. In fact, the turtles are the only organic creatures there.







Orbitus

Beholders.
Because of the odd structure of this planet, the turtles have had difficulty inhabit most of it. It is an elaborate structure of pipes, anti-gravity floors and bounce-walls.






Fanolint

Sonic much?
Beneath the harsh surface of this wasteland is a thriving arbitorium in wich the turtles are breeding Flowers of Death to feed their soliders!







Scraparap

Carrot break.
This is the junkyard of the universe. Here, the turtles are stealing metal and parts for their battleships with robotic droids.







Turtemple

D'aww...
The secret Temple of the Turtle!







Nippius

Killer penguins.
A *freezing* ball of ice infested with penguins and (you guessed it) Snow Turtles!







Jungrock

Gradient.
A steamy jungle planet, complete with enormous insects and serpents.







Marbelara

Marbles.
This is the secret playground for Devan's elite Schwarzenguards.







Sluggion

Turtles & Dragons.
The mazes within this planet house untold treasures... Guarded by Slugs and Dragoons!







Dreempipes

Swimming in tubes.
This is the fuel refinery for Devan's destroyers! The entire planet is covered with purple goo.







Pezrox

Metal palms.
Enormous concrete blocks form impregnable mazes that Jazz must navigate while dodging lethal spiked balls.







Crysilis

Loogie-hocking guard.
Once a barren wasteland, now a shimmering gem in the night sky.
