It was accidentally confirmed on Augby Arjan Brussee and released on Februfor PCs running Windows, and later for Macintosh computers. Jazz Jackrabbit 2 was produced by Epic MegaGames, now known as Epic Games, as the sequel to Jazz Jackrabbit. In Multiplayer there are five game types that players could participate in, namely, Cooperative (where players could work together in the game's single player campaign), Battle (which is basically Deathmatch), Race (in which the first to complete all laps wins the race), Treasure Hunt (in which the first to collect 100 diamonds and find the exit wins the match), and Capture the Flag. The game also has local TCP/IPX network support. The game's Splitscreen mode supports up to 4 players, where as the Online mode can support up to 32. Players can also participate in multiplayer. If the player has collected enough coins throughout the level the merchant will teleport the player to a secret location in the level that is usually filled with power-ups and other goodies for the player to collect. These are used as currency for when the player encounters the merchant. Scattered throughout the levels are coins that the player can pick up. Although, this power up will reset itself every time the player loses a life). Some of these may include a 1-up (that gives the player an extra life), a massive variety of food (when enough is collected gives the player a short period of invincibility in the form of a "sugar rush"), a variety of diamonds (when enough is collected gives the player an extra life), a carrot (that boosts the player's health), a bird in a cage (once it is liberated by the player will follow the player around and will automatically fire at any nearby enemy, until the player takes damage), and rapid fire (which decreases the delay between shots with every pick up, without the player being required to rapidly tap the fire button. In addition to ammo, players will usually come across certain items and power-ups to aid the player. These ammo types can result in different effects from flamethrowing to firing ice shards (that freezes almost any enemy or object on contact). During the course of the game, however, the player can encounter additional ammunition that can provide the player with greater fire-power and range but with limiting ammo. Each Character is equipped with a gun that can fire an inexhaustible supply of projectiles in a straight manner. For an example, Jazz can launch himself vertically higher than others, Spaz can double jump, and Lori can dash across the screen whilst eliminating almost any enemy or obstacle in her path. Each character has certain traits that are exclusive to each other. The Player is given a selection of characters to choose from, namely, Jazz, Spaz, and eventually (in the subsequent expansions) Lori. The player's goal is to reach the level's exit, usually indicated by an exit sign, whilst overcoming obstacles and hazards through the use of running and jumping as well as removing enemies and obstructions through the use of shooting and stomping. The player must venture through a series of levels populated with enemies and environmental hazards that may hinder the player's progress. Just like its predecessor Jazz Jackrabbit, Jazz Jackrabbit 2 is a 2D side-scroller that incorporates elements of shooting and platforming. Jazz's brother, Spaz and (in the special edition of Jazz Jackrabbit 2, The Secret Files) Jazz's sister Lori, were introduced as new playable characters. Jazz chases his nemesis Devan Shell through time, in order to retrieve the ring with which he planned to wed Eva.
