Spaz Jackrabbit, Jazz's brother, makes a few cameo appearances in this game. Unlike in Jazz Jackrabbit 2 , he is not playable.


CONTROVERSY

This game is not accepted as canon by many fans because of the changes it made to the franchise. Specific objections include:
  • It pits Jazz against Dark Shell, a cross between Devan Shell (from the first two games) and Darth Vader .

  • Jazz has become similar to Han Solo , his old look having been completely dropped.

  • Jazz is no longer a free agent, but is working for an agency called R.A.B.T.

  • Jazz is determined to win the affections of Zoe Cottontail. The fate of Eva Earlong, who Jazz seduced at the end of the first game and married at the end of the second, was left unexplained in the game. In an interview with one of the game's creators it was explained Eva and Jazz divorced during the start of a galactic conquest (when and by whom is unknown).

    • Other objections include:

  • The game includes recycled graphics from Jazz Jackrabbit 2 .

  • Jazz Jackrabbit can no longer be claimed to be a PC mascot.

  • Game Titan, the developer, did not involve the Jazz Jackrabbit community in the design or development process.

    • Several fans formed a campaign to "fix0rz teh Jazz Jackrabbit", a play on Leet , but to no avail.


Other fans contend that any Jazz game should be supported, to encourage future Jazz games to be made. In an interview with Game Titan's Eric Kinkhead, the community's cold reception of the game was partially blamed for the possible end of the Jazz Jackrabbit franchise.
