James & Mike Mondays - ToeJam & Earl (Episode 39)
ToeJam & Earl was published by Sega for the Sega Megadrive (Genesis in America) in 1991. It stars two alien rappers, Earl (the fat orange one) and ToeJam (three legged red guy) who are trying to get all the pieces to their spacecraft back together. It has a great two player co-op mode and was praised by critics for its originality. There were two sequels to this game, ToeJam & Earl in Panic on Funkotron and ToeJam & Earl 3: Mission to Earth. Join James Rolfe and Mike Matei as they see how far they can make it in the original Genesis classic!

i remember renting a toe jamand earlgame was fun to play and figure out
Still such a killer game. I still play it all the time. The 2nd one was cool too, but totally opposite spectrum. Still waiting on the new one. Hopefully soon...🤞🤞
i personally had a good time with the game i actually got or was getting pretty far in it its konda like ren and stimpy stims invention in that regard you have to collect pieces of your ship like stimpy has to colect pieces of his invention
Yes
I loved Toe Jame & Earl as a kid. Beat it co-op with my mom. That was a day well spent. =)
Play games with your kids, people.
SaiyanHeretic you must have a pretty cool mom 👍🏻
Awe that's awesome... my moms played toe jam and earl a couple times with me... but she really jammed out with me on tmnt and a link to the past... man, i miss my moms 😕
Me and my mum used to play this game so much! Respect to this game 😘
i played all 3 dk countries with my mom,,,than the original crash bandicoot games for ps1 and spyro
@@adamlucas2203 😂😂
I freaken love this game! My brother and I beat this game together... just once. But you missed several points:
1. You earn experience points when you open presents, which levels you up faster. You should actually open presents early to identify them and level up. Levelling up makes your health bar longer.
2. Uncovering tiles of the map also contributes to leveling, so explore the early levels a lot while it's still relatively easy before you even head up higher. Getting the phone doesn't count.
3. If, say, Earl is badly injured and Toejam is healthy, you should both walk into each other. You'll do a high-five, which makes both of your health even.
4. On level one, there is another island at the north-north-east with a bunch of presents.
5. The presents that have the big question mark are NEVER identified and are different every time. Don't open these, and don't waste money having the professor identify them.
6. Despite what I said earlier about opening presents a lot, you want to identify the randomizer as soon as possible using the professor. All of your money should go to him. If you identify that present, the rest of the game is easier. Again, never open the big question mark present.
7. You can sneak by holding down one of the buttons. Most enemies are asleep before you approach them, and you can sneak by. Root beer heals you slightly, but is actually bad because it wakes enemies up.
8. You can sneak up on Santa! If you catch him, he drops presents before he flies away. He's always on level 4, I think even in random world. He's on other levels too, but I don't remember which.
9. If Toejam falls down a level, then Earl falls down to the same level, you will fall to the same spot where your friend is. In fact, you will fall ON your friend, flattening him. As I recall, that doesn't eat your health though.
10. You can tell if a mailbox is fake by watching it for a bit. A fake one occasionally pokes its eyes out. You shouldn't normally buy presents though unless you've identified a lot of them and need something specific.
You can just hear the nostalgic love James has for this game as he explains the mechanics and his view on gameplay
In the new Castlevania : Lords of Shadow 2 : Revelations you get one diary scroll and the knights name is Angry Sir Rolfe. This can't be a coincidence :D
That *CAN’T* be a coincidence; *ESPECIALLY* with, what he says: ”a puzzle is so difficult to complete he "might as well pray for a whirlwind to carry him away".” 😆. James *ABSOLUTELY NEEDS TO* know about this.
You could really tell James was very passionate about getting all the ship pieces!
It's great to see Mike & James enjoying a game this much, and not having to pick up trash to get into theme park rides lol; it really lead to some intense, exciting moments!
Definitely one of my favourite episodes, I look forward to more like this in the future!
probably the best co-op game for a decade.
What was the one of the next decade?
@@ivanmegafanboy1981 Lord of the rings Return of the King
I gotta throw Gain Ground and Bonanza Bros in for sega genesis era as well.
I find it funny whoever I was arguing with 7 years ago had all their comments removed so now I just look like a crazy person. Curious what they were now, sounds like a trip.
@@TheLonelyGoomba Even crazier you responding after seven years XD
Wait... did the game auto split-screen when they moved too far from eachother? That is amazing!
This is my favorite Genesis game, it's just amazingly fun to play with friends, I really loved the video
What a revolutionary game. Randomly generated levels. Randomized items. Multiplayer split screen. A unique take on earth. Hip hop elements. Promotions.
And yet it had almost no influence on other games which is a shame. It's one of the few games of its era which I still enjoy playing.
Randominator FOH
@@adammclaughlin845 How? I tried this game and I can't stand it...
Randominator Insecure much?
panic on funkotron was even an amazing game, tbh even tho it deviated
James you have to beat this game eventually. You and Mike. The ending is so worth it.
@@zanydruid4053 the grammar police are called nazis for a reason. Pointless rhetoric to prove some sort of superiority that has 0 to do with the conversation at hand. If you have to point out someone's grammar, you have even less to add to a conversation.
You can tell Mike was super bored in the beginning and he eventually got really into it by the end.
When I was a kid, I had no idea how this game worked, and didn't think all that highly of it as a result. Seeing how it worked in this is actually compelling me to try it again and see how it fares.
This was my favorite Genesis game by far, you should definitely give it another shot. It still holds up fairly well and it's a very unique and quirky game.
TOEJAM AND EARL WAS ONE OF MY FAVORITE GAMES GROWING UP!
Toejam and Earl was possibly my favorite Sega game growing up. So many hours spent playing this game. This video brings back memories. :)
Money!
Boogie Boogie Boogie!
I've always loved this episode of J&MM, and it makes me wish I had someone to play these older games with. :( So envious of the friendship you two have!
ill be your friend
ill be your friend too
One of my FAVORITE games from childhood. My brother and I use to hang out in level 0 all the time in the spa.
Muilisx
Hahaha me too
A couple of hints to helping you finish the game (the ending planet was so fun!)
In present menu, press C button to drop presents to thow away bad ones or to exchange with your partner
When enemies are sleeping, hold A button (with no item equipped) to walk silent. Use the same walking style to take Santa from the back to get a lot of presents
When your partner has lower health than you, just walk in front of each other to Hi-5 to share some energy
Hope It hepls
How I tried so hard to get santa's presents, but never did :(
It's nearly impossible to do on splitscreen, as he can hear you way before you see him. My friend and I only managed to get one present out of him on 20 levels.
the hi-5 mechanic is used in some Kirby games as well.
Pretty wholesome. James gives a crap. He's engaged. Mike is Mike. This warms my cockles. If only we could go back to this.
It's not a crowd of tourists; it's a "nerd herd." How could you not recognize your own people?
I miss the 90's.
I played this, NBA Jam, and Aladdin day in day out as a kid
Always loved the dentist! He'd attack you with his drill, then he'd lean way back & laugh maniacally...
The graphics style, even with the walking animation, or the font, and the music, epitomizes the early 90s feel for me. Reminds me of those 90s mac games we would play at school. Zoombini's anyone?
One of my favorites games back in the day.
Talk about memories. Me and a friend of mine played this game like crazy when I was a kid.
Took me 15 years to notice this game is a rogue-like.
It's actually based on the game Rogue itself, the creator was a big fan of that game. That's why little bridges of land appear (like tunnels in Rogue), why the game is a series of floors, why the power-ups are presents that you need to identify: and of course, why the game is procedurally generated.
Lol at Mike's reaction when that sand tornado takes him off the ground, drops him back to level 9 and then the lawnmower pushes him into the water.
The funny thing is that it wasn't being pushed into the water that killed him; it was the lawnmower itself simply taking away his health. As seen later on, you can swim in the water, so it wasn't that. It makes it that much more amusing when we see Mike blaming the wrong thing for his death!
Trixie Lulamoon I know you can swim in the game but remember when Mike was swimming in the water he drowned when he was being chased by a swarm of bees and a shark but yea his reaction to games being so complicated, unfair and tedious is funny.
Also there's another game that James and Mike have played remember Bubsy in Fractured Furry Tales when they play that game Mike dies a couple of times and then he had another one of those "angry rage moments" he was yelling at the tv but what makes it a little more funny is that James just sits there smiling without trying to bust out laughing at Mike lol.
You know, randomly generated maps, enemies and objectives.... this game seems like some kind of funkadelic 90's rogue like!
It's heavily influenced by the genre but it's is not a "rogue-like" in the classical meaning since it's not turn-based but real-time action and not even in the modern "roguelite" genre since there is lives/1ups in this game.
The creator was a big fan of Rogue, the game that inspired the "Rogue-like" genre, and was trying to make a game similar to it, so that makes sense.
The best 'James & Mike Mondays' ever! ToeJam and Earl is my favourite game of all time (so far!).
I remember Mark Voorsanger and Greg Johnson saying that ToeJam & Earl 2 became a platformer due to pressure from Sega at the time.
Now I'd love TJ&E Productions to go back and make the ToeJam & Earl 2 they wanted to, with the rise of indie games and retro graphics style I think it would be a huge success.
This is one of those games where I go "Ohhhhh, THAT'S where the music for that AVGN episode came from!"
I always recognize the music in the episodes because this is my favorite game for the Genesis.
coolgamer311 You're like 9.
coolgamer311
ToeJam & Earl 2 is so much better actually , dont you agree ?
***** The movements are more fluid, better story line, various characters to interact with and better graphics. Just look at the difference on youtube.
When you drop off the edge, if your friend is below you you ALWAYS drop to where they are. So you didn't have to meet up before dropping.
Also, do you guys know about high-fiving? If you walk towards each other you high-five and you split your health with each other.
Oh, and you can also take lives off the other player, so you could have kept it going two player >_>
I kinda hope they play the sequel on the genesis, that's a childhood gem to me.
I was 9 when this dropped (Xmas, '91)...my best friend and I would stay up all night playing. I don't think I ever beat it.
I like Earl. This game is still fun today. I really like the music to it. I wish Sega would make an HD version of this. Keep it exactly the way it looks now but just use high quality art and sound. Would be awesome. I'd buy it.
Still waiting for a replay of this. I believe in you 2, I believe you can beat this in a new James and Mike Monday.
I think one of the main most funny things to see in "James & Mike Mondays" is watching Mike lose his cool and whine. :D He sooo reminds me of how we all used to be back in the days. ^^ WTF!!?? AW COME OOOON, CAN THEY LIKE NOT ATTACK ME LIKE EVER!??? XD .. ah, the memories :)
You never think you'll watch a couple of grown men screaming because of the boogie man for 40 minutes when you're young, but then you grow up, and things change.
32:16 James thought he forgot the ship piece lmao. His face is priceless. haha
I like how Mike feels guilty and tries to cover his face whenever he is laughing about James misfortune.
36:50. The sound of a gamer's soul breaking. Lol
I loved this game as a kid, still do.
it fuckin sucks.
It's alright, it just requires coop to be entertaining beyond a few game completions. Hell, I've played hundreds of hours of it in my lifetime at least.
Guinea54
Nope
I loved this game. It was so unique.
This is one of my favorite James and Mike Mondays episodes. Never seen this game till this episode and it's bodacious.
I don't know why but i find this video very soothing. Probably my favorite James & Mike Mondays video.
Like if u want these guys to play Conkers Bad Fur Day
Hell yes
anyone else think they were saying "Shit Piece" for the first 20 minutes of the video?
Yes,it sounded like that hahah
Even the subtitels think that...
16:05
This is one of my favorite james and mike mondays!!!!
I'm a grown ass man watching a 43 minute video of 2 other grown ass men playing a video game... and I couldn't be more proud!
Hear-Hear!
This was cool to watch. I always wondered what this game was about but never got to play it as a kid.
Its a really fun game but way better co-op
Kinda reminds me of Earthbound a little bit, what with the crazy music, the random enemies, the flashing and "cool" lettering, and all that. And, as we all know, Earthbound rules. So, yeah, that says enough.
There's a new Toejam and Earl on kickstarter called Toejam and Earl: Back in the Groove. Anyone else hyped for it?
Zach Pearce Based on the video I just watched, no. I am a fan of the franchise though, hell I even liked Mission to Earth on xbox and that game was garbage.
4:13 sounds like a really crappy Christmas.
This comment just made my day. Thank you so much!! xD
Bros, you forgot you can share lives with each other if one player loses all their lives? (Pressing start, I think?) Also you can high-five to average your HP when you're on the same screen by standing next to each other and pressing down.
Super awesome and challenging game, thanks for the video.
Did you know you can sneak up Santa and he'll drop a bunch of presents?
The bees! They are in my eyes! Aaaaah!
not the bees Aaaaaahhhh
😏
Mike looks stoned as shit during this.
What do you expect? The guy plays video games for a living. I am also stoned.
And James *sounds* stoned as shit.
oh, man, i'd love to see mike and james on an episode of getting doug with high
He is probably just very tired. They mention in several videos how tired they are.
They aren't tired, except James who has a kid. Mike gets high all day.
James, I freakin' love you man.. I've been a huge fan for a couple of years now, and I gotta say; you thinking my favorite game of all time is cool, and mimicking the music, is the best thing ever!
Oh man, this game hits me right in the feels. Good memories going over to my friends house and play this together
RETRY NEXT WEEK! THUMBS UP IF YOU AGREE!
Please do another Toejam and Earl video, where you beat it on the regular mode or where you show the random map mode. This video was really good! I laughed so hard for so long when Mike said "THE BOOGEY MAN!! *laughs*.. Phone's ringing! The door, the door! THE BOOGEY MAN!!!" Lmao. I rewatched that part so many times. Keep up the good work, guys!
BOOGEYMAN'S COMIN!!!
@@CopiousDoinksLLC Hahah exactly!! Still love this episode!
Actually James, those aren't "Tourists" they are the "Nerd Herd" it woulda been a nice thing to say on the show. lol
this is my favorite episode of Mondays... so funny hearing Mike screaming out "boogey-man!!" and then getting mad from losing presents hard not to laugh out loud...
You also get points for opening presents to help level up. Use the raincloud right before you enter the elevator. You get 2 points, and lose the cloud at next stage.
34:05 "THE BOOGEY MAN!" This part makes me laugh so hard, it's so good :D!
If player 2 dies, and player 1 has enough lives, pressing start on the seond controller would bring back plyr2
Hey, I didn't remember that! =O Thanks! =D
William Link And you can also share out your energy on the life bar by pressing against each-other, high-fiving.
OOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooo FUCK YEAH! ToeJam and Earl... I'm a happy guy
For a semester in college, this game was all my roommate and I would play. I still bring it out and play it with people every now and then.
This game brings me so much good memories of my childhood , thanks for sharing this !
That Boogeyman looks like a really OP enemy.
Ain't got nothin' on the mailbox. You run into a monster mailbox in this game and you are simply dead.
Dies to a couple of tomatoes yeah really OP
Brandon Power Only if you're lucky enough to have an identified Tomato present in your inventory. That's why the game relies so heavily on items.
Yeah good point I knew a smart comment would be in reply to my comment
The ice cream truck is the worst.
so this is the music james used on his atari 5200 video...
I used to LOVE this game, but hard as HELL in the higher levels. A couple things they didn't touch on: when one person's low on power, they can high five each other to share the power. Also, when enemies are sleeping, you can tiptoe past them to not wake them up.
Toejam & Earl is one of my favourite games! I love the soundtrack! Hope you guys can finish it in another round ^_~
I have solved this game over 100 times now. The trick is definitely figuring out the presents as early as possible. Randomizer is the worst present by far. Make sure you have Icarus Wings and Hitops for levels 17-20 when the crazy ice cream trucks come around. Boombox is also great to use when the ice cream truck is around.
Such an awesome game. I gt this on xbox
I misread the title as ToeJam & Earl Saga and saw the 43 minute playtime and thought I was going to see ToeJam & Earl 2 as well. I couldn't help feeling a little disappointed. It was my fault though. James and Mike should get around to that game one day too.
I now know that they used the music from ToeJam & Earl in the Atari 5200 episode.
For so long I thought you were saying "shit piece".
"There better be a damn shit piece... 'Cause if there's not a piece of shit, I'm gonna be upset!" :D
ToeJam & Earl, one of the only games that has adults fearing the Boogeyman.
James' face 32:15
Love this game. A friend and I spent countless hours trying to beat this game. We finally did. Time well spent.
Personally, I think this is the best James and Mike Monday's I've seen. So good.
My favorite genesis game growin up. I think levels go up to 22-25. James u have great taste in games
Those aren't "Tourists", that's a "Nerd Herd".
James turned into the AVGN for a few seconds at 37:40
Phones manifest towards the exact direction you were going at, so unless they are over a chasm, pretty easy to get once you know that.
I love how they call the Nerd Herd tourists... they don't recognize their own kind.
I remember seeing my friend play this way back in 93. It looked incredibly boring and never tried it myself
It's pretty slow paced, but seriously engaging.
I have a twin bro, I'm 34 now, and played this game a a kid. I don't remember the ending because I'm not sure I beat it! Please give us an ending in this game. Thanks! Love the channel!
This was my favorite game as a Kid! I love the guy in the carrot suit!
finally! I've requested this game a bunch in the past, nice to see it on here.
one of my all time favourite games. BOOGIE BOOGIE BOOGIE
James & Mike Mondays:
Ninja Baseball Batman
Rejoice because game 4 just got funded on kickstarter
+ShinKou Show I've seen the gameplay, i don't like the style so much, the whole paper 3D style
+kobi005 it's a ropey prototype it has to be said. Hopefully they learned from criticism
2 yrs later....errm what happened?
6 months later.. it is coming out this fall, the closd beta just ended
What a great game, I remember in the early 90s the afternoons spent with my buddy trying to beat the game, and eventually we succeeded. Too bad I sold it, I regret it!
I love this series... feels like I just was hangin' with James and Mike on the couch.
Would you guys consider doing Toejam & Earl: Panic on Funkotron? I had a lot of fun with that one growing up too.
Is Patrick a recreation of Earl? Also High Tops dont make you run faster. They only provide better ankle protection
+Madara Senpai Ankle SUPPORT, not protection. Hightops are what most basketball players wear to get a better vertical.
+Dougal Skanes my bad thats what i meant ankle support, even though when i wear them i feel no different then with Mids, so my guess was right pretty much. the game has it wrong.
I really expected the line, "OH, NO! NOT THE BEES! NOT THE BEES! AAAAAHHHHH! OH, THEY'RE IN MY EYES! MY EYES! AAAAHHHHH! AAAAAGGHHH!" -Nicholas Cage, The Wicker Man
A total blast in 2 player mode. Good times.
