Sega Genesis - "ToeJam and Earl" Quiz

Answer: They crashlanded their spaceship

They were just flying through space, and ToeJam let Earl fly. Earl crashed into Earth, forcing them to find the spaceship parts to put their ship back together and go home. They are very non-threatening aliens; they just want to be left alone to jam.

Answer: Funkotron

Funkotron is a planet where the inhabitants mostly just jam to hip-hop music. Given that the "ToeJam and Earl" soundtrack was received with high critical acclaim, it stands to reason that the residents of Funkotron are pretty good at it.

Answer: collect all ten pieces of the spaceship

The spaceship parts are the only discrete objective in the game. Other than the general requirement that the player put the spaceship back together so Toejam and Earl can go home, there are no specific tasks to carry out, no bosses, etc. The game thus has a very open structure, and players are free to wander at will.

Answer: red, three-legged, with a hat and medallion

ToeJam is the faster of the two, possibly on account of his third leg. Although he is faster, he has a smaller life bar than Earl. Earl is the brown pudgy alien, and his wraparound sunglasses are very cool.

Answer: Each level has an elevator to the next level hidden somewhere in it

Finding the elevator is all one has to do to "beat" a level. The goal of the game is to find all ten spaceship parts. Given that these are scattered randomly throughout the entire world, there is no advantage to rushing through levels. Leaving a level without exploring all of it simply means that a spaceship piece may be left undiscovered.

Answer: You fall down to the level below

There are thirty levels in "ToeJam and Earl" consisting of islands stacked on top of each other. Falling off of a level simply places the player on the level below, at which point they can journey back to the level they fell off of. The first level is an island in water, and the player can just hop back out of the water if they fall in.

Answer: throws tomatoes at them

Throwing tomatoes is the only way to actively fight back against earthlings. If a player does not have tomatoes, they will simply have to avoid earthlings.

Answer: collaborative; both can play at once and help each other

Two-player mode was highly acclaimed when "ToeJam and Earl" was released. Both players can play at the same time and need not be anywhere near each other. They can even be in completely separate levels. When players venture away from each other, the screen splits in half.

Answer: the Fat Lady

Most of the earthlings will do bad things to ToeJam and Earl. However, the Fat Lady, Santa Claus, and the Wandering Banana Man will help them. The Fat Lady will sing very loudly, killing all nearby enemies. The Wandering Banana Man will identify presents. Santa Claus will give presents if a player successfully sneaks up on him.

Answer: a spaceship piece

Presents serve an important function in "ToeJam and Earl". Opening them is the primary means of increasing the health bar. They contain a wide range of things: Icarus Wings that let a player fly, rocket shoes that allow a player to move extremely fast, food that heals the payer, food that hurts the player, and of course, instant death.

The only way to obtain a spaceship part is to find one randomly placed within a level.
