The game is primarily a shooter, meaning that in order to defeat his enemies, it's not enough for Jazz to jump over their heads. However, the rest of the gameplay mechanics are different. The similarity to Sonic the Hedgehog manifests itself in Jazz's uncanny speed, and the fact it increases the more he runs. In this platform game, Jazz, the hero of the rabbit planet Carrotus, must rescue the beloved rabbit princess, Eva Earlong, and defeat the leader of the turtle terrorists, Devan Shell, traveling to different planets to gather clues concerning Eva's whereabouts while liberating them from Shell's tyranny.

The graphics and sound are excellent, and Jazz Jackrabbit is generally regarded as one of the best DOS games ever. He's also a great jumper, so perhaps he's Sonic, Mario, and Duke Nukem rolled into one.
Finally, Jazz carries a big gun and finds many different kinds of ammo. There are a lot of items to collect, which requires extensive exploration, something that Sonic wouldn't have time for. Being a rabbit, Jazz can run fast, and speed is a major component of the game, warranting instant comparison to Sonic the Hedgehog. Jazz Jackrabbit is a combination of several styles of platform game.
