Plot

In the Master System version, Tom has an adventurous big chase for Jerry inside the house, outside, through the country then back inside the house, ending with Tom finally catching Jerry momentarily. In the Game Gear version, Tom chases Jerry on a quest to look for a hidden treasure taking them from the house all the way to an island where the treasure is buried.

Gameplay

The player controls Tom in the game. He chases Jerry through long level stages, Jerry hindering his progress by laying explosive traps and going under platforms. Tom can climb platforms, jump gaps and pounce. Ideally Jerry can be caught at the end of the level by solving a puzzle, but it is possible to catch Jerry earlier in the level with great difficulty. Once Jerry is caught the level ends and proceeds to the next one.
