In this game, you take on the role of the green hare Jazz, who was sent by the king of the planet Carrotus to search for the disappeared princess Eva Earlong, who was kidnapped by turtle terrorists led by their leader Devan Shell. Jazz Jackrabbit contains a total of four levels of difficulty and is divided into a total of six episodes. Each of the episodes contains 3 planets and each planet has 2 levels that you have to go through. At the end of all episodes, you will still face the final boss. The game also includes bonus 3D levels, for the successful passage of which you will gain extra life. You can only get to these levels if you find a well-hidden gem on the planet (in one of two levels) or get a perfect score. Another specialty of the whole game are secret levels, which can be accessed in specific areas. You can tell by the fact that the sign is marked with a question mark. Individual levels also have a specified maximum time limit for their fulfillment according to the selected difficulty. If time drops to zero, you will lose one life. The game had a very solid success, mainly due to the fast tempo, advanced graphics and great soundtrack. Game received two official Christmas additions, Holiday Hare 1994 and Holiday Hare 1995, and in 1998 also the sequel was released - Jazz Jackrabbit 2.
