Welcome back my friends. This time, we are doing a special chapter as it involves three different characters from three different games all made by one company known as Interplay Entertainment!
The characters in question for this chapter are...
Earthworm Jim, the superhero earthworm from the series of the same name, Earthworm Jim!
Boogerman, the gross out super hero from Boogerman: A Pick and Flick Adventure!
Bad Mr. Frosty, the clay snowman with an attitude from ClayFighter!
Interesting, Jim and Boogerman would go on to appear as playable guest characters in ClayFighter 63 ⅓ and ClayFighter: Sculptor's Cut. This will also be the first chapter to feature multiple franshises.
So, how will these three unsual heroes fare in Smash? Let's get a good look and find out!
Earthworm Jim
Origin: Earthworm Jim
Description: Once an ordinary earthworm, Jim's whole life changed when a super suit fell from space and landed on him. The suits atomic particles affected Jim and made him grow and evolve. With his newfound powers through the super suit, Earthworm Jim has since than fought off the forces of evil, which includes his arch nemesis Psy-Crow and his boss Queen Slug-for-a-Butt. His best friend is Peter Puppy, his ally is Snott and his girlfriend (or so he claims) is Princess What's-Her-Name.

Intro Animation: An earthworm is crawling until the super suit falls on it. Once the suit gets up into a fighting stance, Earthworm Jim is inside the head area.
Series Logo: An Earthworm over a capital I.
Home Stage: New Junk City
Assist Trophy: Psy-Crow - Once Psy-Crow appears, he will fly around the stage and shoot giant fishing hooks at the opponents. It should be worth noting that Psy-Crow can be KO'd like most Assist Trophies, but whenever he's attacked, he'll squawk and panic for a moment before resuming his attack.
Special Attacks
Neutral Special: Laser Shot - Pulls out his Ray Gun and fires a shot. He can shoot up to four shots before he puts it away. After he puts it away, Jim can pull it out again. Do note that unless Jim is jumping, he can't run and shoot at the same time.
Side Special: Worm Ball - Jim inflates his super suit and rolls toward his opponent. He can also do this in mid-air, allowing him to fly through the air without losing altitude until the move ends. It also functions as a horizontal recovery move to get back on the stage.
Up Special: Worm Copter - Jim shoots his ray gun downward sending him up, hitting anyone close of underneath him. Than he twirls his head like a copter, descending downward for five seconds. Once the time limit ends or if he is hit, he'll lose his copter and can't do it again until he lands. It primarily functions as a vertical recovery move to get back on the stage.
Down Special: Tumbling Worm - He curls his head and springs himself at the opponents, delivering a strong hitting dropkick from his super suit. He can do it in the air, but without the spring momentum, it doesn't go far and he goes downward.
Final Smash: EAT DIRT! - Jim summons a cow to fall in front of him, which can capture up to three opponents. If it hits at least one opponent, a cutscene plays as he gets on his rocket and starts to shoot his Ray gun haphazardly at the ground, yelling out "EAT DIRT, SUPER SMASH BROS.!" and laughing maniacally, hitting everyone. This will deal heavy damage and knockback or will instant kill an opponent if they're over 100% Damage.

Trailer
Fox McCloud and Falco Lobadrdi are fighting Ryu, Ken, Wario and Wolf aboard the Great Fox flying over Corneria. Fox and Falco battle the four invading fighters, but even with cover fire from Slippy and Peppy in their Arwings, it was proving to be difficult. When Ryu fired a Hadoken, it was intercepted by a Ray Gun shot. All six fighters sees something flying a breakneck speed as the figure jumped off the rocket. It's a muscular figure with a thin head, until it is revealed to be an earthworm with eyes in a super suit as he holds an invitation to Smash.

EARTHWORM JIM IS READY TO MAKE PEOPLE EAT DIRT!
As everyone takes notice of the strange presence, a toilet lands behind Wario. Just as he turns around, a figure comes out and farts in his face, sending him flying. Everyone turns around to see the figure. Jim groans in annoyance.
Jim: "Ugh! Not him!"
The figure the toilet turns out to be Boogerman as he takes Wario's place in the fight and sides with Ryu, Ken and Wolf.
BOOGERMAN IS READY TO TAKE YOU TO THE DUMP!
Boogerman: "I have come here to save the day! You're washed up Earthworm Jim!"
Just as Fox, Falco and Jim are about to fight, a snowman made of clay lands in front of them. At first, it's cute until if shifts into a much more menacing figure. He than tears the corncov pipe and scarf from his mouth and turns toward Boogerman.

BAD MR. FROSTY IS READY TO CRUMBLE SOME CLAY!

Palutena's Guidance (Earthworm Jim)
Pit: "What in the world...? Is that an earthworm in a robot suit?"
Palutena: "Yes. This is the intergalactic super hero, Earthworm Jim!"
Pit: "Um... how?"
Viridi: "Well, it happened when the criminal Psy-Crow lost a Super Suit meant for his boss, Queen Pulsating Bloated Festering Sweaty Pus-Filled Malformed Slug-for-a-Butt."
Pit: "Who names their kid that!?"
Viridi: "Essentially, the super suit landed on an earthworm, which happened to be Jim. The suit evolved him, increasing his size and intellect along with giving him eyes and a mouth."
"He has since went on to become a super hero, even going as far as to rescues Queen Slug-for-a-Butt's more benevolent sister, Princess What's-Her-Name, from her older sisters evil claws."
Pit: "First of all, thanks for Jim's origin story. Secondly and again, who name's their kid that!?"
Palutena: "Your guess is as good as mine. Jim however pits that super suit to good use, using it's muktiple functions from it's super strength and a big ray gun. He even utilized his head as a makeshift helicopter and a whip even."
Pit: "Talk about using your head! Literally!"
Palutena: "The good news is you can reflect Jim's ray gun with your Guardian Orbitars. You can also deal more damage to Jim by striking his head, especially when he's using it as a whip!"
Pit: "Gotcha! Hope this worm is ready to eat dirt!"
Viridi: "Yeah..." (Hey, Palutena... should we tell Pit that line is Jim's thing...)
Palutena: (We'll let him find out should Jim get the Smash Ball...)
Palutena's Guidance (Boogerman)
Pit: "Hey Palutena. Who's the guy in the ragged clothes?"
Palutena: "Snotty Ragsdale, an eccentric millionaire who fights evil as his super hero alter ego, Boogerman!"
Pit: "Ugh! Boogerman!? Does that mean...!?"
Viridi: "Flings his boogers? Unfortunately yes. He also farts, spits loogies and belches at people. He makes Wario look hygienic in comparison."
Pit: "Gulp... that's just sick!"
Palutena: "He also proclaims himself as Earthworm Jim's rival, which Jim reciprocates in kind."
Pit: "How did they meet?"
Palutena: "No one really knows. All I know is that when Jim tries to do something heroic, Boogerman will always try to upstage him or even beat him up, even if they're on the same side against a common foe."
Pit: "Sounds insecure, don't you think?"
"Anyway, I better take out this guy before he flings his... whatever at me!"
"By the way, he's not gonna do bathroom stuff on me? Right?"
Viridi: "Thankfully no! I don't think the E rating would be retained if he did THAT kind of thing here!"
Palutena's Guidance (Bad Mr. Frosty)
Pit: "Um... why does Frosty the Snowman look like he's not a jolly, happy soul?"
Viridi: "That's because he's not the Christmas character. That is a ClayFighter named Bad Mr. Frosty."
Pit: "ClayFighter...?"
Palutena: "Bad Mr. Frosty was created as a result of a meteor made of clay crashing into a nearby circus. It brough an ordinary snowman to life, creating Bad Mr. Frosty."
"His life is of constant fighting and slapstick. Originally a villain, than a rebellious fighter and finally, thanks to therapy, became a hero for fights for the force of good."
Pit: "Glad to hear he's turned his life around. So, the fact he's made of clay... is that why he doesn't melt?"
Viridi: "Supposedly. But because he's made of clay, he can shapshift his body into different attacks to beat the living clay out of his opponents."
Palutena: "Frosty's Final Smash even has him turn his opponents into a fpice cold Snowcone dessert before eating them!"
Pit: "Yikes! And you say he's a good guy now!?"
Palutena: "Well, Earthworm Jim and Boogerman can vouch for him. After all, the three of them fought together to protect Klaymodo Island from the evil Dr. Kiln's evil plans."
Pit: "What an unsual couple of misfits. But, I guess that's where they fit in."
Viridi: "You know? Maybe we should get ice cream after this. As long as it's not on the floor!"
Pit: "But floor ice cream gives you health!"
Hope you guys enjoyed the Interplay Special with these three old school heroes!
See you in the next one!
