The game is a split-screen trap-em-up style game, similar to the plot of the cartoon series. Player 1 is Jerry, and Player 2 is Tom. The rules of the game involve the player setting up traps and collecting weapons around the house to attack their opponent. Every 5th level is different from the others; in these levels, the player has to find certain objects and take them to their base. In Level 14, Tom is replaced by the Mechano, but Tom is still used in multiplayer mode of this level. Each of the weapons and levels are based on episodes from the cartoon series.
