HH94 had you stopping Devan from hording stolen christmas goodies on Holidaius.
I think it even tells you that when you beat the levels.

Well maybe they seem unimportant but they do have a story. Devan disguised as a taxi driver trashes Jazz out and gets away with Eva. Jazz goes after him, reaches his emergency hideout on Lagunicus and this time he just beats him up. Not to mention Eva did that earlier annoyed by the whole incident.
I don't know what exactly do official newsletters tell about TSF storyline, but it's easy to guess that Lori is the one who needs The Secret Files. But what for?

And then he goes to Holidaius to find Eva. \o/

A level, I once downloaded it, but it got lost.
I don't know who made it, but what I do know, is that the level is very cool!

Maybe you can still find in an internet archive...

I seem to remember having a TSF manual, but I lost it. Anyways, it told that the TSF storyline was something like Jazz, Spaz and Lori were bored and had nothing to do, so they decided to go on a trip through the easter lands, a haunted house and finally the big town to find a secret code to open them the doors to the paradise.

It was uploaded on project2.com

I've downloaded it at least four years ago...

EDIT: ARGH, too slow!

Here, the TSf manual:

Jazz and Spaz, the heroes of the adventure in Jazz Jackrabbit 2, are enjoying a well-earned surfing holiday with the whole family after their defeat of the evil tortoise Davan Shell. Although the holiday is wonderfully relaxing, they are still drawn to adventure. And so once again they venture forth into the wide world, this time in the company of their charming sister Lori! The three of them arrive in the unique Easter World, designed specifically for rabbits. Fantastic! After this Jazz, Spaz and Lori are caught in an old -fashiond haunted house, and are scared out of their wits! They finally end up in a huge city, where they lose their way between the skyscrapers, and where the have their last adventure. At the end, you will find the secret code that leads to Valhalla.

I hope that explains enough...

That is correct. All you would have gotten is a few home made levels, anyway. You can get better stuff at J2O.
So... Were the levels cool or not?

Quite, but many of them were a bit err... monotonous!
And I simply couldn't get Lori up those ledges in the second(or the first) haunted house level!
I liked the city levels the most...

It seems odd that Episode C requests you resume Jazz's adventures on Episode 6 if it takes place after.

This explains so much.
For example the press fire screen on TSF has the three on airboards. That's probrally how rabbits surf in 2791. It also explains why they are running around random places also.
What it doesn't explain is why turtles lurk about.

After Devan was killed, the turtles that were in his terrorist group tried to attack the rabbits with sneaky attacks. They especially tried to kill Jazz, Spaz and Lori.


Again too late! AARGH!

The last time I checked, episodes A, B, and C in JJ1 were "lost" and fit somewhere in the 1-6 storyline.

Thats the same impression I got.
Once again, if they took place after the original storyline why does it ask you to resume Jazz's adventures by playing episode 6?

Because they're 'bonus' episodes like TSF, and someone who's got the 6 episodes wouldn't like to see that they've missed 'a bit in between', its much more asetically pleasing to say Jazz CD has extra bonus episodes added onto the end.

I used to think the one where the endgame story mentions eva being stashed away (And a lovely picture of Eva punching Devan's lights out) would be before ep. 6.

  • Episode 6 ends. Jazz find Eva.
  • They catch a galactic taxi which turns out to be Devan in disguise.
  • Devan goes to Deckstar and puts Eva in there.
  • Jazz comes to Deckstar, destroys it, and Devan has to flee to yet another hideout (Lagunicus?)
  • Devan is defeated yet again.
  • Jazz is told to find Eva on Holidaius and so he does.
  • JJ2 begins.

Then why doesn't the end of episode C say "Play Holiday Hare 94 and save Eva!" instead of "Resume Jazz's Adventures in Episode 6"?
And Episodes A-C are called the 'Lost Episodes'. I'd imagine they'd be called "The continuning episodes" or something if they continued the storyline past episode 6 instead of being somewhere in the normal plot line.
And Cooba's theory blantly ignores how Devan kidnaps Eva(I'd imagine Jazz could just defeat him in the taxi), and why Episode A exists.

The part about resuming ep6, I don't know. As for "Lost Episodes"... well, it also fits as "the story after that no-one knew about or expected". Or it might mean Jazz is lost. ;P
Plus, Devan is an inventor, don't you forget. He could build that taxi and make some sort of hole opening in Jazz's seat to lose him.

Ha! The reason it doesn't make sense is that its all a rabbit plot to hide the real reason the whole dirty business started! Here's what really happened: http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...lev/reason.png

I think Epic just picked the best 6 episodes to make the real game. The unused episodes should be the lost ones that they used into the CD version lately.

My version of Jazz CD tells me to resume the adventures in Episode 6:

The "That's All Folks!" is more than likely a reference to the animation that played before the text came up in which Looney Toon style humor was used. Example:

Jazz then proceeds to go back into the chest, pops back out and hands a bomb to the Turtle

I have the best buys JazzCD version and it says 'That's all folks, look for more Jazz fun in the future'. I don't know why they made difference into that.

It might be because I haven't beaten Episode 6(I'm playing 1,2,3,4,5,A,B,C, and then 6) since Deserto level 2 is so dang hard.

I agree that the game has some hard parts, 5-1 and 5-2 are the hardest levels of the game in my option. It can help to use cheats the first time you play episode 5 and 6, then try them for real later.

I haven't beaten episode C which results in me not beating Episode 6.
That's why I explained the order in which I played the levels.
I just used F10-F11-F12 to see the end of the episodes.

Lets see... if I remember right both the floppy and CD versions were released seperately in Israel, Poland, America and Briton, and a betbuys version. The shareware version was released in France [I think] then there was the shareware trilogy. All in all, about 10 times.

Oh, and I can't believe I missed this, but Devan doesn't actually die. At least, not if the unreleased JJ3 actually "happened".
And I had an idea for a fan story where what would happen if Razz Earlong (Eva's cousn) was a genocidal manic and had a rabbit army that can literally wipe out an entire civilization?

Would Jazz and Devan have to set aside thier differences and fight an even bigger foe?
