A Tom and Jerry Platform Game by Beam Software released for the Sega Genesis and Game Boy in 1993.
The game's plot centers around the 1992 Movie, you play as either Tom or Jerry, or them both on a frantic platforming adventure through eight levels as they help runaway Robyn reunite with her father.
The game also offers 2-Player Co-Op Multiplayer, where two players take control of the famous Cat and Mouse Duo as they navigate though levels, dodging dangerous obstacles, and battles fearsome foes like the cruel Captain Kiddie and Auntie Figg. Remember, the goal of the game is to beat the bad guys, not each other. So hop to it! Robyn's counting on you!
This game contains examples of:
- Character Select Forcing: In Single-Player mode, you can only play as one character per level. Tom is playable in Levels 1, 2, 5, and 8, while Jerry gets Levels 3, 4, 6, and 7.
- Co-Op Multiplayer: 2 Player Mode has two players playing as the duo. While in this mode, Tom only collects fish while Jerry can only gather cheese.
- Covers Always Lie: The cover is simply Jerry running away from Tom into a mousehole when the game is based off of Tom and Jerry: The Movie.
- Construction Zone Calamity: Level 2: The Living Room. In Single Player, the player takes control of Tom as he has to find Jerry and escape the house as its being demolished.
- Everything Trying to Kill You: Used as a justification for why Tom and Jerry have to work together. It's not practical to fight one another when everything else is trying to do likewise.
- Gameplay and Story Integration: Like in the movie, Tom and Jerry are forced to put their rivalry on hold because they are now homeless and in a dangerous world. So there is Co-Op Multiplayer in this game.
- Green Hill Zone: Stage 1 is the Street. The player (As Tom) travels through the neighborhood while avoiding enemies like old ladies and other obstacles like bursting fire hydrants.
- It's a Wonderful Failure: The Game Over screen treats you to a sad scene of a homeless Tom and Jerry huddled up in front of a Trashcan Bonfire in an alley, with the words GAME OVER spelled out through letters on overhanging sheets on laundry wires.
- One-Hit Kill: The Wrecking Ball in Level 2 kills the player on impact. They tend to show up at inopportune times when you're jumping.
- Shared Life-Meter: In 2-Player Mode, both players have their own life bars, but they share lives.
- Winged Soul Flies Off at Death: The player collapses and turns into a angel and flies away upon running out of health.
