Tom and Jerry: Mouse Hunt

About

Tom and Jerry Mouse Hunt is a platformer that pits cat against mouse in 20 levels of chaotic antics. Switch between Tom and Jerry to tackle obstacles, collect power-ups, and outsmart each other using classic cartoon physics. The game leans into the slapstick energy of the original show with traps, cheese chases, and sudden plot twists. Single-player mode lets you tackle Jerry’s rescue mission solo or challenge a friend via link cable for competitive antics. The game’s charm comes from its direct nod to decades of Tom and Jerry lore. Familiar supporting characters like Spike and Butch pop up regularly, and the pixel art retains the exaggerated expressions and fast-paced humor of the cartoons. While the Game Boy Color’s hardware limits visual detail, the level design and timing-based challenges keep things brisk. Players who grew up with the duo might appreciate the straightforward approach, no modern mechanics or twists, just 20 levels of familiar chaos.

Storyline

The story will be fairly familiar to anyone who's ever watched the cartoon; Jerry's naïve country cousins are in town for a visit, and Tom is hungry. It's up to Jerry to rescue his cousins from peril in scene after scene, foiling the plans of his starving counterpart. Play as either Tom or Jerry in this battle of wits and reflexes, trying to best your opponent throughout 20 show-themed levels of action. Familiar faces like Spike, Butch, and Ducky make appearances throughout, and there are countless obstacles and power-ups to keep things interesting. Cool cartoon graphics mark this GBC-only release. Play alone or link up and challenge a friend.
