Peter is always willing to accompany Jim on his adventures, acting as Jim's consultant when Jim goes astray, as well as providing Jim's moral support. Peter is quite timid in nature and has a hard time controlling his transformations.
#EARTHWORM JIM 2 SPRITES PUPPY SPRITE SERIES#
He eventually finds Jim and the two become good friends, with Peter serving as Jim's sidekick.Īs such, he had a much larger role in the cartoon series than in the games, appearing in almost every episode. The curse gives Peter human intelligence and his anthropomorphic form, but also causes his angry transformations whenever he is hurt or scared. One day Peter decided to prove his worth by attacking a running vacuum cleaner, which ends up sending him to "Heck" where Evil the Cat places a curse on him. His origin goes back to when he was a normal puppy, and he was picked on by the other neighborhood dogs. He was given more of a backstory as well. His fur was changed from purple/pink to a sandy color. His appearance changed dramatically, giving Peter an unbuttoned teal shirt and black shorts as opposed to walking around nude. The animated series changes Peter's character considerably. In Earthworm Jim 3D, Peter plays a more supportive role in Jim's quest. However, if too many puppies are dropped, Peter transforms and attacks Jim. Jim must save the puppies by bouncing them to safety via a large marshmallow. In Earthworm Jim 2, Psy-Crow has taken Peter's hundreds of sibling puppies hostage and is throwing them from the window of a tall building. In the first Earthworm Jim video game, Jim must protect Peter from being hurt or falling into a pit as he blindly skips through the level, the ultimate goal to get him safely into his house. The animated series expanded upon this, adding that tickling Peter would cause him to laugh, then belch and change back to normal. After a short while he will change back to his natural form unaided. Peter Puppy is an anthropomorphic dog with the ability to transform into a large monstrous form whenever he is hurt or scared, commonly attacking Jim. The animated series gives him a second catchphrase however, screaming "Eat Dirt" followed by the present threat's name. Jim's recurring catchphrase is an excited "Groovy!". In the animated series, he is voiced by Dan Castellaneta (the actor best known for playing Homer Simpson on The Simpsons) without the southern drawl. In the games, Jim is voiced by creator Doug TenNapel and has a slight southern drawl. Nintendo Power listed Jim as their 16th favorite hero, joking that he is a role model for invertebrates everywhere. He has a rather large romantic infatuation with Princess What's-Her-Name, which usually confuses her in the cartoons, but he never falters in his resolve.Įarthworm Jim was awarded Best New Character of 1994 by Electronic Gaming Monthly. Jim can be a bit naive and rarely thinks before rushing into battle, but on occasions can be very cunning. He resides in a home in the city of Terlawk, New Jersey (a play on Turlock, California, the birthplace of TenNapel) with Peter Puppy.
The suit fell down to Earth, where Jim happened to crawl in and discovered newfound powers granted by the suit, mainly the strength and dexterity of a human. A fearsome bounty hunter named Psy-Crow was en route to deliver the "Super Suit" (technically titled "Ultra-high-tech-indestructible-super-space-cyber-suit") to Queen Slug-For-A-Butt but got in a confrontation with another space ship and lost the suit out of an airlock. For most of his life Jim was just an ordinary earthworm until one day his life was changed forever. 12 Animated series exclusive charactersĮarthworm Jim is a video game character, the protagonist of the Earthworm Jim video games and animated series.Items are typically shipped within a few days, but with a toddler and conventions life gets crazy and I don't want anyone to be disappointed if it does take a week or more, hence the 1-2 week turnaround time listed.
