New Junk City (Earthworm Jim)Discussion

New Junk City is the first level of the original Earthworm Jim. It is a city filled with with junk and trash, as the name implies. It is a parody of both pollution and New York City.



the hazards are falls that are large quantities of waste, rabid dogs and crows
several characters might make a cameo in the esenario including Peter Puppy or Psy-Crow

Stage Design:

Music
Earthworm Jim - New Junk City
Earthworm Jim 2 - Anything But Tangerines
Clayfighter 63⅓ - Aquadome

YES! Full support from me! Perhaps the tires found in NJC could work like springs just like in the game!
I'm not so sure about Boogerman's appearance, though. The only game Jim actually crossed paths with him was in Clayfighter 63 1/3 and even there their rivalry didn't make much sense. Psy-Crow on the other hand would be great. Maybe Chuck (the boss found at the end of the NJC level) could act as a stage hazard. He can ride in his cable car contraption and could drop junk on fighters using his magnet (refer to above video at 5:14).

I support it too, I really like the old Earthworm Jim games. Boogerman could also be a playable character. He is the most disgusting character next to Conker.

I was literally thinking about this stage when I last commented on the Earthworm Jim thread. lol. I would definitely like to see this stage if he was playable.

I thought exactly the same

I support this stage.

Here I made stage design

Spoiler:

Looks pretty cool! I'm just worried that the stage might get too busy. Well, it depends I guess. How will Billy move from one side to the other?

EDIT: Forgot to mention, the tires at the bottom should totally work like springs!

I feel like this stage should only appear if Jim appears as a playable character. But if he does, support

Now That I Think About billy the bin would be better as a assist trophy

Since Earthworm Jim is one of the three characters I'm working on during my own time, how can I say no?

SUPPORT'D!

I feel like Crash should get his own stage before Earthworm Jim does. If Crash gets a stage, I'll support.

I've played through EWJ, but is there a reason why New Junk City is the best choice for a stage? If there was a way to make Andy Asteroids a stage, it would probably be the best option... but I'm not sure I see a reason for NJC besides that it's the first stage.

I can agree with that.

It's nothing strange to have the first level in a series to be a stage. Series like Pac-Man, Sonic and Ristar have their first levels as stages. Regardless, I think New Junk City is the most iconic level in the series. NJC can be unique if done right. I'll admit, I've never thought of making Andy Asteroids a stage. I'm not saying I'm against the idea but I do see some potential issues:
1. It would be pretty tricky to come up with a layout since it's not the usual platformer level.
2. I think the asteroids would be cool but I can also see how it will turn off players if they're everywhere on the screen.
3. Shouldn't we leave the Space stages to Starfox?

Basically this  ^ New junk city is one of the most iconic and recognizable level of the series, Anything But Tangerines could also work

I'm personally against using Ristar's first stage as well, but that's for another topic... I suppose it being the most recognizable level from the series is enough.

I don't think it's fair to say that only Star Fox should get the space stages, but I agree Andy Asteroids is tough to come up with a layout for.

Okay that might be a bit unreasonable. Star Fox was just the first thing that came to mind. I just think franchises that resolve more around space should be the ones to have space themed stages. Of course, there are exceptions like Super Mario Galaxy.
