Jazz Jackrabbit reached the Gameboy Advance in 2003. It was controversial among fans, owing to the changes made to the franchise.
Other games
Jazz Jackrabbit 3D was an abortive project by World Tree Games. The game was cancelled in 2000 when Epic Games failed to find a publisher. The game's plot had Jazz entering Devan's dimensional machine (a modified version of the time machine used in Jazz 2) into a three-dimensional Carrotus to save his children and remove any chaos Devan brought along the way.
Jazz, Eva, and Devan made a cameo in One Must Fall: 2097, also by Epic, in single-player tournament mode. Each remote-piloted a fighting mech that was suited to their individual personalities. This was in keeping with the Epic Megagames inter-universe cameo appearance theme also seen in Tyrian, which referred to their previous starship-piloting game Solar Winds, as well as a reference to OMF:2097.
Jazz Jackrabbit has also appeared in a number of fan-made games.
