STARTING THE GAME
1. Make sure your Game Boy® power switch is OFF.
2. Insert the Tom & Jerry Game Pak as described in your NINTENDO GAME BOY manual. 3. Turn the power switch ON.
4. When you see the Tom & Jerry title screen, press START to begin the game. PLAYING THE GAME
At any point during the introduction sequence, you can press start to advance to the options screen. Here you can choose a one or two player game, enter a password, or turn the music on or off.
If you choose Password, you will have to enter a four-symbol password. There are three passwords, one given every time you complete a world. These will allow you to start at the beginning of a particular world instead of having to play through worlds you have already completed.
Write them down and use them if you have to interrupt a game and want to continue playing later.
TOM
Frequently, Tom will be hiding behind objects like chairs and couches, or in trash cans or boxes. Stay alert and move cautiously around these objects and you won't get bushwhacked!
You can clobber Tom with two marble hits.
BONUS SCORE SCREEN
When you complete a level, your bonus score is tallied on this screen. You earn points for cheese and ice cream sodas collected, time remaining, and how many times you clobbered Tom with the marbles.
•
TIME: 10 points per second
CONTINUE/END
When you lose all of your lives, you have the option to end the game or use one of your three continues. When you have used up all of your continues, the game is over and you will have to restart from the beginning.
Remember, if you have a password, you can use it to bypass previously completed worlds.
THE LEVELS
There are a total of ten levels divided into four worlds. Your goal is to make it to the EXIT in each level without getting turned into cat bait!
Keep an eye out for the bonus sections in every level. Some of these are simply hidden platforms while others are completely secret rooms! Below is a description of each level and some things to look out for:
•
Level 1 - The Street: Use the car to ride over the tacks. Be careful to jump out of the car before it drives into a hole. Watch out for flipping manhole covers and explore the whole level to find all the special pick-ups like sodas, stars, and cheese. Also, don't forget to use the "scan horizon" feature to locate platforms that are out of sight.
•
Level 2 - The Park: Watch out for falling acorns and M.E.P.'s, or mouse eating plants! Oh yeah, Tom shows up about now so stay frosty! Use the water fountains for a lift up to the higher platforms.
•
Level 7 - The Garage: Watch out for the gruesome guillotines, more dripping pipes, and tacks. Ride the gushing car radiators to reach the higher platforms.
•
Level 8 - The Garden: More mouse eating plants in this level plus watch out for stalactites and fiendish fish underwater. Don't touch the spiky underwater surface -- it's sharp! Use the underwater pipes to get past the trees on land. To use the pipes, enter them from the underwater side. Keep the A button held and you'll be launched extra high out of the pipe.
•
Level 9 - The Treetops: There are plenty of toy soldiers in this arboreal nightmare and Tom is hiding around every corner. Keep on your toes and watch out for branches that break off and fall when you jump on them. Also, be careful on the power poles or you'll get a shock! Use the squirrel holes to move up and down the tree trunks. To use a squirrel hole, stand at the entrance and press up or down on the Control Pad.
•
You will receive the final password when you complete this level
•
Level 10 - The Bedroom: This is it, the final level! There is a brigade of toy soldiers and lots of snapping mouse traps. Bounce on the beds to move up but be careful, some of those shelves aren't too sturdy. Watch out for Tom hiding behind couches and walls.
