Tricks:

See GameResources/DOS/JazzJackrabbit

Route choices

Route choices were determined using level editor to display the maps (and experimenting when it wasn't obivious what is fastest way).

Level comments

No level

I have no idea what causes that pause in menu (the game seems to freeze for a moment).

Canidion 1 & 2

Nothing too special... Just running, jumping, shooting.

Bloxonious 1

I go grab TNT since it allows me to use the second exit, saving massive amounts of time. Grabbing only one pack saves about a second, but means I need to grab another pack in next level (but it is worth it). It is not possible to TNT exit from below, so I need to go to that room and use it from there. The scroll time is limited by horizontal distance, so I need to get as close horizontally as possible.

Bloxonious 2

Since I don't have TNT pack, I grab one in beginning (or actually three). It turns out this level has 3 sets of very annoyingly timed/positioned flying planes. I blow up the first and second with TNT pack, but the third I just hit (I must save the one TNT pack for exit). I tried blowing up the third and getting hit by second, but that turned out to be slower. Fortunately the third is in position where I fly to the platform I need to go to if I reverse direction bit before getting hit.
I can't blow the passage with TNT. TNT hits the blocks yes, but doesn't blow them to bits in one hit.

Screenshot suggestions:

Jazz bombarding doll with rubber explosives (timecode: 146.75).

Final stats:

Length: 2:52.249 Rerecords: 1842
mmarks: Added GabCM YouTube module
adelikat: Good viewer response, and while the same game engine as the published movie and this submission, the level layout is different in each to warrant publication.

Episode-based games... I suppose releasing runs of them with different episodes being just different "branches" for the same game is alright? Just thinking aloud. This run was fast-paced, short, amusing and looked optimized, as was the other one. As far as I'm concerned, it's a yes vote (for both).

Voting yes just because of the presence of LEGO blocks! Nah... Very well done though. PS: I DID vote yes.

I vote YES because of the Gingerbread Theme in Candion Stage and Toy Theme in Bloxonious Stage.

Both of those are variants of classical Christmas tunes. The Bloxonious track is based on "Little Drummer Boy" I believe. I am not sure what the first one is based on, silent night?

Direct download Archive collection Screenshot (from Mister Epic's post) Youtube watch URL Movie length: 3:02. Description (I'm not good at this): In with the tradition back then, Epic Megagames did xmas-themed (demo) version of their game. This is the 1995 version, the second of three xmas-themed Jazz Jackrabbit games. This one has the same engine as the [yyyM|first one] but totally different levels.

There is a small mistake in what adelikat said while judging this run. I notified him by private message a couple of days ago since I don't like to draw attention towards mistakes, but he probably didn't read it so I have to report it here.

The "this" submission links to 1950S instead of 2950S.
