The Lawn Mower Man, also called Fat Man with a Mower, is a recurring hostile Earthling in the ToeJam & Earl series.
Appearances[]
ToeJam & Earl[]
- "Look out for this Earthling. One of the most dangerous of all earthlings, it is believed to be representative of the majority of male humans living in a region called "Middle America".
This creature spends large amounts of time walking back and forth in front of its place of dwelling, pushing a loud destructive machine known as a lawn mower. It is believed that this territorial behavior is an attempt by the males of this species to intimidate other males. As a sign of dominance, many of these males sport impressive stomachs. These are thought to attract females of the species." - — ToeJam & Earl manual, page 31
This enemy, like the Crazed Shopper, will try to crash into either player, causing serious injury, and, at worse, will follow you to for continuous damage if you are cornered. The player can lob tomatoes at one, but with multiples of them, it's better to strap on your Hi-Tops, and get as far away as you can. If you have a Doorway, use it to escape.
ToeJam & Earl III: Mission to Earth[]
ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove[]
- "This dangerous Earthling will run you down with his lawnmower. He does big damage."
- — ToeJam & Earl: Back in the Groove manual[1]
The Lawn Mower Man appears and behaves much the same as he did in the original game. He is a mid-level enemy.
He has a more powerful spectral form, the "Ghostly Mower Man", that can appear on later levels.
