Finally, Jim's moves also lack offensive power, so while he excels at racking up damage, he can have trouble finishing opponents off.

If this happens, then Jim will be in his virtually useless worm form, very vulnerable for about 12 seconds before a new suit appears on stage. Furthermore, his suit can be destroyed (particularly through over use of his down special) if it takes enough sustained damage. For one, his vertical recovery is very weak (despite his horizontal recovery being rather good).

However, he does come with a few fundamental flaws. He also boasts incredibly high defensive stats, due to his heavyweight status and the durability of his Super Suit. This gives him some of the best range in the game for attacking foes, augmented by his Plasma Blaster special attack. Jim uses his body as an extension of his Super Suit, literally using his head for a large number of his basic attacks and his Smash Attacks. Jim's moveset is eclectic by nature, centered around his surprisingly good range and ability to tank damage. The would be gaming icon of the 90s, Earthworm Jim makes his triumphant return in the world of Super Smash Bros, bringing his rather.surreal world with him. He can only be unlocked through individual purchase or by purchasing the Season 1 DLC. He is also classified as a Heavyweight fighter. Representing the Earthworm Jim universe, he is the first revealed fighter for the Season 1 DLC pass, and as such has no number within the in-game list. Earthworm Jim is a playable character in Super Smash Brothers Plus for the Nintendo Switch Plus.
