When the game was almost three quarters done, it suffered from framerate problems and poor animation. The characters of Earthworm Jim had to be redesigned for the shift to 3D. Early screenshots also display Jim riding his Pocket Rocket. Additionally, Evil Jim, Earthworm Jim’s evil twin from the TV series, was reportedly a part of the game. In some cases, entire characters were changed – originally, Evil the Cat was to be the boss of Fear, but was changed to Professor Monkey-For-A-Head at the last moment, although his face can be seen on the records and record needles in the level “Boogie Nights of the Living Dead”. Also many locations displayed in early versions of the game are nowhere to be found in the released copy (such as a level set in a house, where Jim is ant-sized), and locations that were kept from early screenshots changed drastically before release. This caused some problems as the game was based on the Earthworm Jim TV series which by the time of release, had been off the air for over 3 years.

During its drawn-out three year development cycle, Earthworm Jim 3D changed publishers several times.
