Home Improvement , a Super Nintendo action-adventure game, is based on the popular sitcom starring Tim "The Tool Man" Taylor. The story follows Binford's new line of power tools as they go missing just before their big presentation on Tool Time . With time running out, the player must navigate through four sound stages to retrieve the missing tools and survive.
The gameplay involves collecting metal nuts to stay alive, wooden boxes of tool parts to progress, and using various common tools for defense. The player can also use a grappling tool to swing between distant areas, lower themselves down steep drops, or raise themselves up to hard-to-reach places. With the help of powerful tools like the sledgehammer and jackhammer, players must take out weak walls and floors to overcome obstacles.
