In their first adventure, the two groovy aliens crash-landed on earth and had to collect the scattered spaceship parts.
Nowadays the situation is somewhat different: the home planet of Toejam and Earl with the beautiful name Funkotron is being ravaged by a tourist invasion. The unwanted people behave just as people from Earth do. They annoy the locals, snap stupid photos of everything and everyone, and otherwise behave neither musically nor relaxed. Since the buddies Toejam and Earl have already been able to gain experience with humanity, they are given the task of cleaning up the planet. Toejam & Earl is raised as a jump and run in a side view.
The game is preferably played in pairs, but you can also compete alone. It is your job to meet the people and the souvenirs, e.g. Pounding poodles and gorillas with glasses. If you have canned all of the earthlings of a level, the glasses are stowed in a rocket and sent back to earth, only then does a friend catapult you to the next level in a funny cutscene. With a lot of variety and gags, the player is kept happy. Behind every bush and on every tree there can be a useful extra. This is how you can find bonus items to show hazards in the vicinity. With the puzzles switch you get to the hyper-fire zone. In this bonus level, you run in the psychedelic graphics over mountains and valleys and collect extras. Has the given time expired or you do not duck in front of an exit in time because you are teleporting back to Funkotron.
In another sub-game, you meet a buddy with a ghetto blaster. This gives you a rhythm that he reproduces with the keys. Depending on how successful you would be, you would be classified between Lame and Awesome and receive extras accordingly. There are also lots of secret rooms and gags to keep the player happy. The musical sound consists of 13 funky tunes, depending on the situation and what is happening, the right beat is underlaid.
To make it short: really funny alone, real abdominal muscle training for two.
