Toe Jam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron (Japan) is a 2D side-scrolling platformer developed by Johnson Voorsanger Productions and released for the Sega Genesis in 1993. Departing from the isometric perspective of the original game, this sequel tasks you with exploring the funky alien world of Funkotron to capture runaway Earthlings who have crashed the party and are wreaking havoc across the planet.
How to Play
Your objective is to find and trap all the Earthlings in each level by tossing jam jars at them until they are captured, which allows you to progress to the next area. For the Sega Genesis emulator in your browser, the default controls are typically mapped as follows: use the Arrow Keys to move, crouch, or interact with objects, and Z, X, and C (acting as the Genesis A, B, and C buttons) to jump, throw your jam jars, and use your current item. Press Enter (Start) to pause the game and access your inventory of presents.
Tips
- Use the Funk Scan: You can use your special “Funk Move” ability to scan the immediate area, which reveals hidden presents and secret items buried under the ground or hidden behind scenery.
- Manage your presents: Similar to the first game, you can open presents to gain helpful power-ups, such as the Super Jars or teleportation abilities, but be cautious of bad presents that can hurt you or unleash enemies.
