Description


Jazz Jackrabbit is a 3'1", 90-pound anthropomorphic green rabbit. Strictly speaking, his name implies that he is a hare, but "hare" and "rabbit" are used interchangeably in the game. He comes from the planet Carrotus, and is usually referred to as Jazz. He is defined as a cross of Rambo and Bugs Bunny.

''Jazz Jackrabbit 3'' is 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 Jackrabbit 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/crossover theme also seen in ''Tyrian'', which referred to their previous starship-piloting game ''Solar Winds'', as well as a reference to ''One Must Fall: 2097''.
