Two other releases originated from it: a sequel named Jazz Jackrabbit 2 in 1998, as well as a reboot on Game Boy Advance in 2002.

In 1995, PC Format magazine named Jazz Jackrabbit 'Arcade Game of the Year'.

The game did not manage to reach the popularity of Sonic, but did acquire a certain fan audience due to its fast-paced gameplay, advanced graphics and notorious acid jazz level soundtracks. It was greatly inspired by the Amiga game Zool and the ongoing success of video game classics defining the platform game genre in the 1990s market, and was initially considered to be a pastiche of Sega's Sonic the Hedgehog in the computer world. Jazz Jackrabbit was developed in the Netherlands where Arjan Brussee then lived and in La Verne, California where game designer Cliff Bleszinski lived and worked from his mother's home. It was one of the first games to bring the side-scrolling platformer style - common on gaming consoles - to a PC audience. It was released in 1994 for PCs operating DOS, with subsequent Macintosh and Microsoft Windows releases in 19. Jazz Jackrabbit is a platform game developed and published by Epic MegaGames.
