A special present, Togetherness, allows a player to teleport to the other player's location. Players can assist one another by performing a high five, which equalizes health between the two. When two players play, the game keeps them on the same screen whenever feasible, but switches to split-screen rendering if they get far enough apart. The game's two-player cooperative play is one of its most unique features. The terrain also presents hazards such as deserts and lakes. Levels also have cliff edges, which the unwary player can fall from, landing on the next-lower level.
Players progress upward through the levels by means of an elevator, which appears on each map. The game has twenty levels, which are logically arranged vertically, one above the other. Health bonuses in the form of food items are also found some food items, however, cause the player to lose health rather than gain it. Still others are harmful, such as Schoolbook (puts the player to sleep for a time, making them vulnerable to attack) or Randomizer (scrambles all identified presents, requiring them to be identified all over again). Other presents provide bonuses, such as extra bucks (which may be used to mail-order presents at mailboxes or to have presents identified by the Wise Man in the Carrot Suit without opening them) or extra lives. Some presents offer increased mobility for a limited time, such as the Super Hightops (increased speed), Spring Shoes (ability to jump), and Icarus Wings (flight). Each present appears as a differently-wrapped package, which must be identified either by opening it or by other means. To defend against the Earthlings, a variety of power-ups are provided in the form of presents. As they do so, they face a variety of Earthlings that stand in their way, such as the Insane Dentist, Shopping Cart Mom, Nerd Herd, Cupid, and the Phantom Ice Cream Truck, each of which causes the player to lose health and eventually lives. They must search for the pieces and reassemble their spaceship in order to return home to the planet Funkotron. As a result, the pair crash-land on Earth, their spaceship broken into ten pieces. The game's premise starts with Toe Jam & Earl cruising the stars in their spaceship, when Toe Jam decides to let Earl drive.
The original Toe Jam & Earl, a two-dimensional action game, was released for the Sega Genesis game console in 1991. The games were created by Toe Jam & Earl Productions Inc., of San Rafael, California. All the games employ music and style derived from early-1970s funk music and culture, similar in some respects to the blaxploitation films of that period. Toe Jam & Earl refers to a series of video games published by Sega, concerning the adventures of the eponymous characters, both aliens from the planet Funkotron: Toe Jam, a three-legged, stalk-eyed creature, and Big Earl, a giant sluglike being.
