I'd say the original Genesis version is the best. Earthworm Jim - Special edition is basically a remake of Earthworm Jim from the genesis/megadrive to the poor-selling Sega CD. Unfortunately the extra stage isn't very good and kind of kills the pace of the game, and the CD music is good, but doesn't loop seamlessly. There's an argument to be made that the Sega CD version is the best, as it takes the Genesis version, fixes the "one sound effect at a time" issue, and adds more content in terms of graphics, bonus stage segments, CD music, and an entire extra stage. In exchange it gets a smoother color palette and the ability to play more than one sound at a same time without it getting cut off. On top of the resolution issue, the SNES version is also missing a bunch of stuff, including sounds, graphical effects, and an entire stage. This meant that if a game was developed for the Genesis first and then ported to the SNES, it almost always ended up cropped and stretched unless they redrew the game's graphics from scratch (which they rarely did). The Genesis generally ran at a resolution of 320x224 with square pixels, and the SNES ran at 256x224 with rectangular pixels.
Which is one of several reasons the Genesis version is superior.
