The engine of the pseudo-3D stages was reused for the racing game 2 Fast 4 You, an advertorial game for BiFi that was released in 1996 for DOS. The commercial success of the game kickstarted the career of its co-creator, Cliff Bleszinski, who would later be a key force behind Epic Games' Unreal and Gears of War. If the task is accomplished successfully, the player is provided with an extra life.Ī sequel named Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was released in 1998, as well as a reboot on Game Boy Advance in 2002. In these stages, animation switches to a pseudo-3D (third-person shooter) of Jazz as he runs on a speedway with the purpose of gathering as many blue diamonds as requested before time runs out, while obstacles try to stop him or slow him down. If Jazz finishes the area with a big red diamond, he gets to enter the bonus stage.

If Jazz reaches and shoots the finish sign before time runs out, the player is then provided with additional score points awarded for the remaining time and a perfect score if he picks up all items and/or deals with all enemies. The first game features a timer that starts a number of minutes at the beginning of each level (9 minutes 59 seconds on Easy mode, 8 minutes on Medium, 6 minutes on Hard, and 4 minutes on Turbo) and counts down to zero on Hard and Turbo, another countdown appears at the top of the screen when there is less than a minute left, and if time expires, Jazz loses a life. When killed, Jazz starts from the level beginning or at any checkpoint sign that had been reached and shot before. Lives can also be accumulated to the maximum number of ten. Jazz can withstand a limited number of hits (5 on Easy mode, 4 on Medium mode, 3 on Hard or Turbo mode) from harmful objects before losing a life one hit's worth of health can be restored by picking up a carrot. Jazz has a life bar that changes in colour based on how much health Jazz has remaining. Unlike other platform games, however, there are no abysses and every level bifurcates into subsections that might lead to valuable items (such as weapon pick-ups, score items, etc.) while the direction of general progression is hinted at with occasional arrows. Jazz will run faster and jump higher the longer he runs, avoiding chasms that might lead to harmful objects. Gameplay mechanics in Jazz are very similar to Zool's, with the exception of not being able to destroy the enemies by simply jumping at them (which was not added until the second game).
