In the original ToeJam & Earl, to check for a ship piece on a level, open the map and press the A button to see your ship piece inventory. There will be a message letting you know if a ship piece is on the level.

*10:50* Jim tells the story of how he got zapped by the Mad Doc and it messed up his controls (actually, that's the *Cupid* throwing arrows who does that, the Doctor zaps your health), so he couldn't control his character right, *but in reality,* it was Michael who used the "Swap Bodies" present just as the Mad Doc was about to get Jim (but didn't!) - and at that moment it was *Michael* controlling Jim's swapped character, which confused Jimmy in the process, meanwhile his swapped character drowned in the water (bottom screen) because Jim thought he was still controlling the Top screen, and when his button input didn't respond with the actions on-screen (because it was Michael who'd already been steering ToeJam after the "Swap"), he thought the Mad Doc *got* him, resulting in messing up his directional controls... *LOL Cool Story LMAO!*

*The Lost Vikings* & *The Lost Vikings II* are BOTH *brilliant,* fun, amazing, funny, and very charming games! Some of the *BEST* from that era and genre.

I love panic on funkotron. Yes there are other platformers but the style of play was unique. Catching all of the humans in jars before leaving the levels made exploring a thing, which isn't prevalent in most side scrollers. Using buttons to open secret doors and get presents, mini games within levels, a better use of environment by making the planets look more alien. Its a great game with more good things about it than I care to list right now.

Glad to know there are people out there that like the second T&J. Most people hate it just because it's different from the original and it's a platformer. It's one of the most unique platformers ever made and maintains the same funky style of the original.

I don't watch a ton of james and mike mondays, but love the support for Toejam and Earl. I did see the earlier genesis J&M where you played Toejam and Earl 1. Great to see that you guys are fans of the series.

You would've beat it if you weren't walking passed the Wiseman (carrot guy) all the time in the earlier levels. When your xp meter is full he levels you up and boosts your stats like increasing your health bar, walking speed, ect..

ToeJam & My Name is Earl.

The randomizer presents actually do have practical uses, when you stop to consider them. We know there are both positive and negative presents, and eventually you will run into a situation where you have an overabundance of negative ones, simply due to the fact that you need positive ones to proceed in the game. This is when you want to use your randomizer to reset all the bad presents with the randomizer and get a chance to make them into positive ones instead. It also doesn't randomize anything except what you're carrying, so by dropping positive presents, you're essentially just rerolling negative ones.

I LOVE this series! Hope you guys play the other two one day

22:08 Dunno if James or Mike read comments, but those hood ornaments are made to pivot and rotate. So maybe when the guy sat on it, he knew it would bend out of the way. They bend and pivot to prevent pedestrians from getting impaled in a car accident.

So happy with this game. The fresh beats. The backer names at the end are a super nice touch.

I like to wait for Mike’s weekly Zelda reference before I click the like button, never fails... never fails...

I played the original with my dad as a kid, watched him beat it once. Seeing a new version of the classic warms my heart.

ToeJam and Earl: Back in the Groove was delayed five times, but I can definitely say it was well worth the wait, as it feels like a true sequel to the original game on the Genesis. Heck, my profile icon for the month of March 2019 was ToeJam and Earl from the cover art of the original 1991 game.

You guys should play ToeJam & Earl Panic on Funkotron. Quite a different game.

Good timing for uploading this, I was just playing the original on genesis today, definitely one of the best genesis games ever made

I think James and Mike should play Earth Defense Force, it has 2 player split screen, and you fight giant monsters, aliens, and insects, it's right up their ally.

"WWWWHHHHHHOOOOOAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH" -James startled by monster phone booth

5:53 New character idea to play with: “Jamin’ Jim” plays music games like guitar hero/rockband and other games with music involved. Wears sunglasses indoors.

I played this way too much, was sitting there like "oh boy, that's an evil elevator... dis gonna be good"

This has gotta be the perfect game for these two to check out.

Loved the classic loving back in the groove, such a laid back game

When James said there was less than a centimeter between his \thumb and the button - in my mind i flashed back to the classic "ASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS" with the movement of the head and neck and just instantly started laughing

Growing up in the 90s was the jam.

Little tip, when you get the rocket shoes, just go around in circles until they run out

I’ve got a physical copy from Limited Run Games coming my way eventually. TJ&E was my favorite Genesis game.

When Mike got those rocket shoes I couldn't stop laughing!!!

The worst on the original game was if the elevator was on its own island and you had no power-ups left anywhere to make a big jump. You basically lost because the game just locked you out from progress.

I adore this game and come back to play it every now and then.

I love the little speech balloons and the things they say to each other. And that feature even existed back in the Genesis version. This game had so much personality back in the day.

Reminds me of the game, Don't Starve with how the graphics and general look.

Yes, like you mentioned in the video, seeing the level below you during gameplay is a very nice effect. Also the drifting clouds in space. Unfortunately only the PC version has those effects. All the console versions for some unknown reason, do not. I originally bought this game for my Switch, but once I saw how cool the Steam version looked, I had to get it. PC is definitely the definitive version.
