The Panic on Funkotron sequel, more platformer-oriented and more colourful. Fun, funny, but less original than the first.

ToeJam & Earl in Panik auf Funkotron (Mega Drive) price, value & rarity
Sequel to ToeJam & Earl, Sega's funky platformer, a widely distributed title whose raw rarity stays modest. Its collector interest plays out mostly on regional and distribution variants: the German edition, with its localised title Panik auf Funkotron, is the variant sought by collectors attentive to per-country translated sleeves. Desirability rests less on the game's availability, common second-hand, than on completing a collection covering all its forms, prized by series fans and print-nuance collectors.
Is ToeJam & Earl in Panik auf Funkotron still worth playing in 2026?
A sequel to ToeJam & Earl, Panic on Funkotron swaps generated-world exploration for a 2D platformer where the two funky aliens chase hidden Earthlings to send them home. The offbeat humor, the irresistible funk soundtrack and two-player co-op keep an inimitable charm, even if the switch to classic platforming divides fans of the first. The pace stays easygoing. A gem with strong identity, worth recommending to fans of retro humor and laid-back two-player games.
