The impact, while leaving them unharmed, scattered pieces of their spacecraft all over the planet, and finding all of these pieces is the only way to get back home.
Toejam Earl Productions Series Of VideoToeJam Earl is a series of video games known mainly for the titular first entry, released in 1991 on the Sega Mega DriveGenesis.The first game is an exploration-oriented Action-Adventure game with an overhead perspective and (the option of) randomly-generated levels, giving it a roguelike feel.The sequels include ToeJam Earl in Panic on Funkotron, a two-dimensional Platform Game released on the Mega DriveGenesis in 1993, where the duo has made it back home, only to find that several Earthlings have stowed onboard, and are now causing Panic on Funkotron.ToeJam Earl III: Mission to Earth was a three-dimensional platformer released on Microsofts Xbox in 2002 (the game had been intended for the Sega Dreamcast, but after Sega went third-party, it was ported over to the Xbox as part of Segas quasi-alliance with them at the time). ToeJam and Earl were also featured in Ready, Aim, Tomatoes, a pack-in game with the Genesiss Menacer light-gun peripheral. A beta of the third game from when it was intended for the Dreamcast was discovered and released, bearing many more similarities to the first game than the finished product.

It was released in March of 2019, and is a return to the style of the original game. The series as a whole provides examples of: Affectionate Parody: Critics have interpreted the games as a lighthearted satire of Americas urban and hip-hop culture. Abnormal Ammo: The original game features tomatoes as the protagonists weapon of choice. Panic on Funkotron features jars that capture enemies (though it takes multiple jars to weaken the enemy). Accessory-Wearing Cartoon Animal: In the first two games, ToeJam wears a white baseball cap, white gloves, a medallion, and white shoes.

No vampires or werewolves in sight, but the possibility of their existence cannot be entirely ruled out. Bratty Half-Pint: There are a few child enemy types in Panic on Funkotron, who attack with tomatoes, spitballs and kicking the player in the shins. Back in the Groove features little girls who perform silly flying kicks. Chest Monster: The Mailbox Monster, as its name implies, looks exactly like one of the mailboxes you can order presents from, with the exception that itll occasionally open its eyes to look around, revealing its true nature. Theyre extremely fast and hit fairly hard, so approaching all mailboxes with extreme caution is advised. If you andor your squad are foolish enough to enter one, it drops you down a level instead of taking you up. While it doesnt have a semi-obvious tell like the Mailbox Monster, you at least have a brief moment to escape from its clutches once it reveals itself. Co-Op Multiplayer Dance Party Ending: All the games feature the protagonists jamming out at the end. Drop-In-Drop-Out Multiplayer: After a one-player game is started, a second player can jump in at any time without penalty. Its even taken literally as the second player drops right in where the first player is standing, meaning, in the first game, the first player better move or hell get crushed by his partner. Happy Ending Override: The ending of the first game has the Funkotronians welcoming ToeJam and Earl back from their trip to earth.
