Jerry's naive country cousins are visiting, and Tom is very hungry. It falls to Jerry to protect his relatives from his perpetually starving adversary across 20 levels themed after classic Tom and Jerry cartoons. Familiar faces appear throughout — Spike, Butch, and Ducky among them — along with obstacles, power-ups, and the usual chaos. The game can be played solo or linked with a second player on Game Boy Color for a competitive head-to-head match.
