Jazz has a life bar that changes in colour based on how much health Jazz has remaining. Unlike other platform games, however, there are no abysses and every level bifurcates into subsections that might lead to valuable items (such as weapon pick-ups, score items, etc.) while the direction of general progression is hinted at with occasional arrows. Jazz will run faster and jump higher the longer he runs, avoiding chasms that might lead to harmful objects. Gameplay mechanics in Jazz are very similar to Zool's, with the exception of not being able to destroy the enemies by simply jumping at them (which was not added until the second game). Episodes are tied by a single storyline usually progressing after each episode is finished. The final level of every episode features a boss that the player must deal with in order to complete the level. Each episode have an additional secret level (in the first you control bird Hip Hop and in later regular Jazz). Each episode has three planets, with every planet itself consisting of two levels. The game was originally divided into six episodes. Jazz can also pick up various power-ups, including a force shield, a hoverboard that allows him to float in the air, a bird that will fight on Jazz's side, and others.Jazz shooting at an enemy on Diamondus level, The yellow stars indicate temporary invincibility. Jazz starts with a blaster, but during the course of the game acquires other weapons, such as grenade launcher, flamethrower, TNT, etc. The game is primarily a shooter, meaning that in order to defeat his enemies, it's not enough for Jazz to jump over their heads. However, the rest of the gameplay mechanics are different. The similarity to Sonic the Hedgehog manifests itself in Jazz's uncanny speed, and the fact it increases the more he runs. In this platform game, Jazz, the hero of the rabbit planet Carrotus, must rescue the beloved rabbit princess, Eva Earlong, and defeat the leader of the turtle terrorists, Devan Shell, traveling to different planets to gather clues concerning Eva's whereabouts while liberating them from Shell's tyranny. Jazz Jackrabbit is the PC world's answer to Sonic the Hedgehog.
