If the player wins, the next level is started instantly. The player must direct Jim on his rocket, in a race against Psy-Crow, through a tube-like structure while collecting items and boosts and avoiding asteroids. Unlike the rest of the game, it places the viewpoint behind Jim. In-between most levels, a racing level called "Andy Asteroids" is played. Two villains made their only appearance in this game, Chuck, a junkyard man with a tendency to vomit bizarre objects, and Doc Duodenum, a crazed organ of a giant alien. The game incorporates a large variety of villains in the boss battles, including Hickboy, Psy-Crow, Queen Slug-for-a-Butt, Evil the Cat, Bob the Killer Goldfish, Major Mucus and Professor Monkey-For-A-Head exclusive Robotic Chicken.
Levels commonly culminate with a boss battle. Failure to do so results in Peter lashing out at Jim, taking away from his health. For example, the level "For Pete's Sake", involves making sure the computer-controlled Peter Puppy character gets through the level unharmed, which is accomplished by whipping him to make him jump over pits, and defeating enemies before they can damage him. Some levels have additional requirements beyond merely getting to the end of the level. The whip move also allows the player to grab hold of, and swing from, certain hooks in the game. The player can use Jim's gun as a method of shooting enemies, or his worm body as a whip for whipping enemies. The player controls Jim and must maneuver him through the level while avoiding obstacles and enemies. The game plays as a 2D sidescrolling platformer with elements of a run and gun game as well.

Nintendo promised that the Switch will add more NES and SNES games were on the way and Earthworm Jim 2is a great addition to the service, which means that there could be more surprises to come in the future. The big first-party Nintendo NES and SNES might already be on Nintendo Switch Online, but there are still some amazing third-party titles waiting in the wings.
The addition of Nintendo 64 and Sega Genesis games means that those systems will get the focus in the future, and the rumors of Game Boy titles coming to Nintendo Switch Online means that there are lots of retro games in the pipeline. The release of the Nintendo Switch Online Expansion Pack felt like Nintendo was pivoting away from adding NES and SNES games, especially as most of the big first-party titles were already available on the service, with EarthBound being one of the last big holdouts.
