Here is extra information that doesn't fit on any other page.

Buy Jazz

You can buy Good Old Games's Jazz Jackrabbit collection to get Jazz 1.3 and Holiday Hare '95. See version differences between 1.0, good/bad 1.2, and 1.3.

Quirk: Difficulty-based ammo

In Dreempipes 2, after the fast-feet ascent with switches, but before the 3 stacked yellow pipes through which you can run, there is a pyramid of grey solid blocks.

On Turbo difficulty, 3 launcher containers sit on on the right side of that pyramid. On Medium, no launchers sit here.

I tested this in both the 1.0 and the good 1.2; it should be the same across all releases.
