all the levels in order, or 20 of the best levels submitted by Jazz 2 fans. This is due mostly not to tough enemies (which are even sparse on some levels), but to devious little physical puzzles and challenges that you need to figure out. I feel TSF is much more difficult than Jazz 2: even at the easiest difficulty setting, I still have a hard time finishing each level. The levels in this release is even more devious than Jazz 2, with a lot more secrets and alternate routes that boost the replay value even higher. The gameplay is still the same as Jazz 2, which means you can expect a lot of well-designed levels, funny enemies, and addictive gameplay. In The Secret Files, Epic and Project 2 bring us a new standalone release, sequel-of-sorts to Jazz Jackrabbit 2, featuring many all-new levels, new weapons and new enemies, and even some homemade levels. I have found no ordering information for this game.Jazz Jackrabbit 2: The Secret Files is the final release in Epic Megagames' celebrated Jazz Jackrabbit series, which remains today one of the best shareware platformers of all time.

Episode X (originally released as the standalone Jazz Jackrabbit: Holiday Hare demo in 1994) was added in version 1.3. Originally, episodes 1-3 and 4-6 could be purchased separately, and three new episodes, A-C, were added in the CD-ROM version, Jazz Jackrabbit CD. The graphics and sound are excellent, and Jazz Jackrabbit is generally regarded as one of the best DOS games ever. He's also a great jumper, so perhaps he's Sonic, Mario, and Duke Nukem rolled into one. Finally, Jazz carries a big gun and finds many different kinds of ammo.

There are a lot of items to collect, which requires extensive exploration, something that Sonic wouldn't have time for. Being a rabbit, Jazz can run fast, and speed is a major component of the game, warranting instant comparison to Sonic the Hedgehog. Jazz Jackrabbit is a combination of several styles of platform game.
