Tom
The playable cat who pursues Jerry through the stages.
How it plays
How does Tom and Jerry play?
The game uses a side-view platforming perspective. Tom moves through linear stages, jumps across platforms, avoids hazards, and attacks or interacts with enemies and objects while attempting to reach the end of each area.
Progression is stage-based rather than exploratory. Each completed level advances the chase through another themed environment, with difficulty coming from enemy placement, obstacles, and timing. The supplied SNES version does not have a reliably documented set of alternate modes.
Plan your run
What is the best way to play Tom and Jerry?
Learn the timing of jumps before moving quickly through a stage. Approach enemies and hazards cautiously, since imprecise collisions can make rushed movement costly.
Use the edges of platforms and safe pauses to observe upcoming obstacles. Preserve any available health or defensive resources for sections with repeated hazards rather than spending them immediately.
