The following is a list of locations and planets from the Earthworm Jim video games and animated series.

Important Locations
These planets are important to the storyline of Earthworm Jim and appeared in both the animated series and the video games.

Earth
A diverse planet with many different climates and landscapes. The Earthworm Jim Earth is much like our own and is the home and birthplace of Earthworm Jim. It is populated by humans and a wide variety of animals, including Earthworms.

Planet Heck
A fiery planet ruled by Evil the Cat. It resembles popular depictions of Hell, reflecting Evil's personality. Full of the evilest things found throughout the galaxy, including elevator music and rabid lawyers. The planet was featured in the first Earthworm Jim game in the level "What the Heck?" as well as being featured in the Earthworm Jim animated series for several episodes. The name Heck is a colloquialism of Hell while the planet itself is probably inspired by the Planet Apokolips from the DC Comics.

La Planeta de Agua
As its name suggests, La Planeta de Agua is a planet mostly covered by water. It is home and base of operations for Bob the Killer Goldfish and his feline minions, as well as a large quantity of unintelligent fish. The planet was featured in the first Earthworm Jim game in the level "Down the Tubes" as well as being prominently featured in the Earthworm Jim animated series. Any mention of the planet's name would always be followed by a brief Mexican fanfare and the word "Arriba!". It should be noted that in Spanish, "planeta" has masculine gender so the planet would be correctly named El Planeta de Agua.

Insectika
A Planet populated by intelligent insects, Insectika serves as a base of operations for Queen Slug-For-A-Butt as well as the apparent homeworld of the Xerbs, including Princess What's-Her-Name. Besides the Queen, the world's government features a place for the Arch-Bug, who serves as the Queen's personal adviser as well as the official palace looney. On at least one occasion, the planet held a revolutionary democratic election. Unfortunately, the only candidate to run was Queen Slug-For-a-Butt, leaving the planet in much the same state is was before. The Queen was also dethroned by the combined effort of Psy-Crow and Professor Monkey-For-A-Head, though she soon returned and retook control of the planet. The planet was featured in the first Earthworm Jim game in the level "Buttville" as well as being featured in the Earthworm Jim animated series for several episodes.

Video Game locations
Other planets and locations that appear in the video games. Some were never given official names and are therefore listed here with names based on the names of the levels the appear in.

New Junk City
("New Junk City")

A large city-sized junk yard. The landscape is made of mountains of trash and refuse such as school buses and old tires. It is full of hungry crows and rabid poodles and is run by a hygiene-challenged human named Chuck. Its location is never stated but it is presumably located on Earth.

Peter's Planet
("For Pete's Sake" and "Puppy Love")

A planet covered in dangerous cliffs and man-eating plants. It is battered daily by meteor showers and is raided by passing aliens. Home planet of Peter Puppy and his many siblings.

Anything but Tangerines
("Anything But Tangerines")

The summer home of Bob the Killer Goldfish. A.B.T. is filled with blunderbuss-shooting flying octopuses, happy groups of pigs, and falling grannies (who apparently get a great senior citizen discount).

Planet Burbank
("Lorenzen's Soil")

A planet resembling a large antfarm with many hanging mounds of shiftable dirt. Populated by giant ants and maggots, it is ruled by Lorenzo Larva and his twin brother Pedro Pupa after Psy-Crow sold them the deed to an otherwise worthless planet.

Living Intestine Planet
("Intestinal Distress" and "The Villi People/Blind Sally")

A planet resembling a large working intestinal system. Ruled by Doc Duodenum.

Psy-Crow Planet
("Andy Asteroids?", "Psycrow!")

Unnamed planet where you battle Psy-Crow, should you lose the race to him. Psy-Crow gets harder to beat as you get further into the game.

Planet Ate
("Level Ate")

A planet resembling various food items with giant grills and forks. Ruled by Flamin' Yawn.

Mucus Planet
("Snot a Problem" and "The Flying King")

Planet covered in a mucus-like membrane with ridges of hardened ooze and vast pools of green slime. Ruled by Major Mucus and possible home planet of Snott.

Level Five
("Level Five")

Professor Monkey-For-A-Head's large orbiting space-station lab. It is full of the Professor's strangers experiments and large electrodes and walk way. It is unknown what planet it orbits, but it would seem to be mobile.

Iso Planet
("ISO 9000")

A planet covered with tax forms, living file cabinets, and, quite possibly the worst creatures on the whole planet, the Masked Lawyers.

Cow Planet
("Udderly Abducted")

A planet populated by cows and strange aliens.

Lost Vegas
("See Jim Run, Run Jim Run")

A pun on the city Las Vegas, a planet where Psy-Crow takes Princess What's-Her-Name to get a quick wedding, but fails.

Big Bruty's Planet
("Big Bruty")

A desolate planet with an eerie landscape, rickety wooden structures and numerous bees. Home planet of the dinosaur Big Bruty.

Circus of the Scars
("Inflated Head")

A strange planet resembling a large carnival. Normally ruled by Evil the Cat's cousin Flagitious, but during Heck's summer off-season, Evil switches jobs with Flagitious and runs the circus himself.

Animated Series Locations
Some places appeared exclusively on the Animated Series. Here is a description and which episodes they appear in.

Terlawk
(Several episodes)

Earthworm Jim's hometown, which is attacked by outer-space creatures on a more-or-less regular basis. This is probably due to Jim, but the reason may also be due to a smart-aleck ex-NASA employee who painted graffiti on a space probe saying "Hey, Stupid Aliens! I dare you to destroy Terlawk!" who now currently works at the Terlawk General Store. Terlawk is an American city, but its location is never explicitly stated. Its name is a play on Turlock, California, the hometown of Earthworm Jim's creator, Douglas TenNapel

The Planet of Easily Frightened People
("The Sword of Righteousness")

As the name suggests, this planet is the home of the Easily Frightened People, who fearfully respond to any and all on their planet with a single scream of "AHHH, A (insert object here)". Keeping place of the "Orb of Quite Remarkable Power." Psy-Crow is very fond of this planet. The Sword of Righteousness later ends up here after Jim renounces its teachings, causing the Easily Frightened People to scream "AHHH, A SWORD".

The Jungle of Justice
("The Sword of Righteousness")

Home of The Sword of Righteousness and the training place of all his students.

The Land of Ooze
("The Wizard of Ooze")

An alternate dimension akin to the movie The Wizard of Oz, with Jim's friends and enemies portraying different characters.

The Fabled, Long-Sought Home of the Gods
("Assault and Battery")

Fabled and long-sought. Many have searched for it and perished, but Jim was aided in his quest by "The Fabled, Long-Sought Phonebook of the Gods". Professor Monkey-For-A-Head has somehow also been able to find it, as he once had a Battery of the Gods (which is the power source for Jim's Super Suit), and was able to return to try and get another. On the second visit, however, he apparently got himself turned into a bread maker as retribution.

Malodoron 6
("The Book of Doom")

Home of the foulest smelling creatures in existence, The Reeking Beasts. Due to a grievous printers error, a page of a popular children's book, "Fuzzy Wuzzy's Funny Animals Pop-Up Book", speaks of a way to destroy the universe by making all the beasts on the planet gaze upon a fondue fork. Not surprisingly, Evil the Cat once tried to cause such an incident.

The Planet of Unusually Tall Things
The first location seen in the show. It looks like Earth from space, but with many small plateaus rising many, many miles from its surface.



Earthworm Jim

SEC. 407. The first paragraph of section 5 of the Interstate Commerce Act is hereby amended to read as follows: . . .
" (4) The Commission shall as soon as practicable prepare and adopt a plan for the consolidation of the railway properties of the continental United States into a limited number of systems. In the division of such railways into such systems under such plan, competition shall be preserved as fully as possible and wherever practicable the existing routes and channels of trade and commerce shall be maintained. Subject to the foregoing requirements, the several systems shall be so arranged that the cost of transportation as between competitive systems and as related to the values of the properties through which the service
is rendered shall be the same, so far as practicable, so that these systems can employ uniform rates in the movement of competitive traffic and under efficient management earn substantially the same rate of return upon the value of their respective railway properties.
" (5) When the Commission has agreed upon a tentative plan, it shall give the same due publicity and upon reasonable notice, including notice to the Governor of each State, shall hear all persons who may file or present objections thereto. The Commission is authorized to prescribe a procedure for such hearings and to fix a time for bringing them to a close. After the hearings are at an end, the Commission shall adopt a plan for such consolidation and publish the same; but it may at any time thereafter, upon its own motion or upon application, reopen the subject for such changes or modifications as in its judgment will promote the public interest. The consolidations herein provided for shall be in harmony with such plan.
"(6) It shall be lawful for two or more carriers by railroad, subject to this Act, to consolidate their properties or any part thereof, into one corporation for the ownership, management, and operation of the properties theretofore in separate ownership, management, and operation, under the following conditions:
" (a) The proposed consolidation must be in harmony with and in furtherance of the complete plan of consolidation mentioned in paragraph (5) and must be approved by the Commission;
' (b) The bonds at par of the corporation which is to become the owner of the consolidated properties, together with the outstanding capital stock at par of such corporation, shall not exceed the value of the consolidated properties as determined by the Commission. The value of the properties sought to be consolidated shall be ascertained by the Commission under section I9a of this Act, and it shall be the duty of the Commission to proceed immediately to the ascertainment of such value for the properties involved in a proposed consolidation upon the filing of the application for such consolidation.
" (c) Whenever two or more carriers propose a consolidation under this section, they shall present their application therefor to the Commission, and thereupon the Commission shall notify
the Governor of each State in which any part of the properties sought to be consolidated is situated and the carriers involved in the proposed consolidation, of the time and place for a public hearing. If after such hearing the Commission finds that the public interest will be promoted by the consolidation and that the conditions of this section have been or will be fulfilled, it may enter an order approving and authorizing such consolidation with such modifications and upon such terms and conditions as it may prescribe, and thereupon such consolidation may be effected, in accordance with such order, if all the carriers involved assent thereto, the law of any State or the decision or order of any State authority to the contrary notwithstanding.
" (7) The power and authority of the Commission to approve and authorize the consolidation of two or more carriers shall extend and apply to the consolidation of four express companies into the American Railway Express Company, a Delaware corporation, if application for such approval and authority is made to the Commission within thirty days after the passage of this amendatory Act; and pending the decision of the Commission such consolidation shall not be dissolved." . .
