Marinated Rabbit

Marinated Rabbit is an official Jazz Jackrabbit 2 level. It is the only level from the official episodes to use water (Beach Bunny Bingo uses it as well, but only for decorational purposes).

Tileset and Structure

The level uses the Beach 2 tileset, which is about the same as the Beach tileset but with darker sand, ship wrecks, etc.
The most of the gameplay happens underwater, where are many fishes and crabs.
The level doesn’t use a textured background, but does have some background eyecandy.

Weapons and special items

The level provides seekers and bouncers, which are useful for fish and crabs, respectively. It also has some TNT ammo.
The level has a 1up pickup item, and a water shield. The bonus warp requires 20 coins, and gives the player a RF-missile power-up.

End Boss

The level features Uterus, at the end of the level. The arena is quite big, which makes the boss easy to beat, especially with seekers.
Also, Uterus tends to appear in the game before the player would hit the Activate Boss event – this is possibly a leftover from the beta versions, where a boss would appear if the player came in the 31 tile long range of the event spawning the boss.

Trivia Facts

  • This level was originally going to be called “Generic Water Level”, in the beta version 1.00g and possibly 1.00h and 1.10o.
  • This level is used as a macro, which is played automatically if the game is left in the main menu for some time.
  • The Uterus boss in the level sometimes moves to the player before he/she touches the Activate Boss event. This is a bug from the beta versions, where bosses would be automatically activated when the player entered the line of sight of the boss.
  • This level is one of the few that makes use of TNT.
