Commentary Panel

The Commentary Panel is a feature in every Worms game. It gives full detail of which Worm has been killed, whose move it is, and which weapon has been selected. It also appears when a Crate falls, when a team is out of the game, and when a Worm uses Skip Go in some games (e.g. Worms 4: Mayhem).

Trivia

• Some of the death sentences are sympathetic, others are just ironical.
• The Commentary Panel also reveals what weapon has been collected from a Crate, but only in offline games.
• In Worms 4: Mayhem, on rare occasions, the Commentary Panel shows up and says "Turn back you coward!!" when the player flies the Super Sheep straight up into the sky or away from the map.
• There is an innuendo in the sentence, "_ wasn't hard enough.", that was used in some games that are rated E for Everyone by the ESRB, such as Worms Armageddon, but was also used in other games that are rated T for Teens, such as Worms 4: Mayhem, which doesn't really make it an innuendo.
  • A similar "innuendo" is seen in the title screen of the SNES version of the original Worms, and it says, "How hard is your Worm?".
