Why? Well, I've always been a fan of the cartoons as a child (Oh who am I kidding, I still am), and this game never had a FAQ made for it. This is also an effort to help out the GameBoy FAQ Completion Project located at Gamefaqs.com, which is a project designed to have a FAQ for every gameboy game released. If you feel like helping, go over to the contributor boards at gamefaqs and help out! Also, this guide was written rather quickly and probably won't see any updates barring any HUGE piece of info I missed, which is doubtful. Since it's a habit though, here's my email (Y'know, in case you want to send a lovely "Thank You" email or something).

And that's all the reason Tom needs to try and obtain a tasty snack. We'll go through the levels, and while I won't hold your hand I'll tell you which ways to go and point out cetain things of interest (AKA: I'm not going to point out each and every piece of cheese, so if you have the pokemon syndrome 'Gotta catch em all', feel free to explore. Each level has cheese and items to find which all add up your score at the level's exit. Some items are useful, like balls which you can throw (these balls can also collect items for you). You can also collect cups. If you can find all four, you'll get an extra life! Jerry doesn't have health, those hearts you see on the screen are how many lives Jerry has. But even though Jerry doesn't have health you can see how many hits you can take - or have left - by looking at Jerry's picture: Note: The music changes depending on your health too! Mouth-wide open/Happy: Full Health. Smiling: You've been hit once. Meh. Normal: You've been hit twice. Oh well... Anxions: You've been hit three times. Be careful! Sweating/Scared: You've been hit four times! One more and you "die"! Each time you get hit, you'll be invulnerable for a few seconds. You can refill your health by finding a star as well, so keep your eyes open! Also, each level is timed, but I found I had more than enough time to get through them. Just don't dilly-dally and you'll be fine! ============= Out of Bounds ============= ------------------- Level 1: The Street ------------------- [TJ: LVL1] Ok, the controls are pretty easy here, with A being jump and the directional buttons, um... directing. You can also use B to sprint, which is helpful when combined with jumping for extra height. Grab up all the cheese with Jerry's amazing jumping ability (seriously I was impressed!). Go on until you see the sewer lids, which will pop up every so often, so time your jumps. Soon you'll see a car, so use it to go to the right. On the tacks, jump up and grab the cup looking object, but be careful of the hole coming up. In this area there's another cup in the upper left corner if you jump up the windows. Keep going to come to a second car ride with some cheese bait. Be sure to jump over the pit at the end. Move onto the next car ride, but jump on the garbage bin and then the window. You can sprint jump to another window on the right here and get up to those higher windows (the first window is to high to jump to on it's own). You'll find a black star up here. Continue on to the last car ride and the levels exit. ----------------- Level 2: The Park ----------------- [TJ: LVL2] Grab the cheese in this area and continue. The flowers here HURT you so jump over them. There's also acorn's in the tree which hurt you too, so be careful. Bait them to fall before you walk under them (or you can sprint under them). Up the hill you'll see a garbage bin that has Tom in it. You can get by this easily by standing right by it and waiting until after Tom attacks. He'll swipe three times, after the third swipe jump over him. Keep going and you'll find a fountain area. Here you can jump off of the water spurts to jump to bonus items. Be careful as you cross this area as there are hazards in the water. There's a star here too if you need your life refilled. Keep going past another tree to another fountain area. This first water spurt leads to some ledges with cheese to the left, and a star if you sprint-jump. You can find a time extension (:30 seconds) by sprint jumping again and a cup as well. Navigate this fountain area, which has cheese rewards above on ledges and below in the water at times. You can find a one-up by sprint-jumping to the far right ledge in this area (it's a HARD jump though). Go down the hill to exit this area. --------------------- Level 3: The Rooftops --------------------- [TJ: LVL3] Right away you'll see a toy soldier, so avoid these. There's also pipes here that can take you up and down, so gather the cheese and go up (The path to the right is blocked off by a chimney)! You can't climb the back-ground roof, but you CAN slide down it. Go up and jump over the chimney. Be careful, as Tom can swipe at you on the right side (he does this on most chimneys, so be careful), so keep moving. In this second house area be careful of the mouse traps, which can snap up at you as you jump over them. Be sure to visit the roof in this section as another chimney blocks your way and you can find a time extension and a star up there! Jump over the chimney to get to the third house area. Here you can find another star in the upper-middle portion by the plant. Continue upwards and you'll find the exit on the roof (after a nice long trail of cheese). You also get a password after this level, which is: Heart, Cheese, Cup, Timer. ================== Inside looking Out ================== ------------------- Level 4: The Lounge ------------------- [TJ: LVL4] Ah, now we're in the house. Go up the stairs, but be careful of the two pieces of cheese to the left as Tom will swipe at you. Use the window thing above the plant to go up a level. Up here there's a ball to the right and to the left past the stairs (without going up them) is a cup and cheese. The sign here falls though, so be careful. Go up the stairs, heading ever upwards. You can use the chairs here to reach new heights, just press down A while you are on the cushion. This is apparently a skyscraper of a house, as you have a LOT of upwards jumping to do. The area on the right leads to a bunch of jumping while the area on the left has a window that leads to a time extension. You can go both ways if you wish though. Keep going to the third set of stairs where you can get a star. Here you have a window to the left and a window to the right. You can take both again if you want, but I prefer the right as it has a star on it (the left has a cup and some more stairs). Keep heading upwards and you'll find the exit near some cheese. Be careful, Tom takes on last swipe at you here. ------------------- Level 5: The Shower ------------------- [TJ: LVL5] This is the BIGGEST bathroom I've EVER seen. Also note that Jerry can swim in bodies of water by tapping A. Climb up the vines to find goodies, including a cup to the left of where you start. Go right and use the ledges to jump over the gap. The bathtub here has sharks, so be careful. I have no idea what sharks are doing here, but who am I to judge? You can find another cup up on the ledges. Keep heading to the right past the bathtubs without hardly any water. The spouts here can hurt you. In this next area you can find a time extension as well. Once you reach the big bathtub you'll have to navigate through mines AND sharks. Fun. Use your invulnerability by getting hit if you need to and reach the exit at the end of the bathtub. -------------------- Level 6: The Kitchen -------------------- [TJ: LVL6] Now this area is dangerous. Toy soldiers, plates falling down, hot water drips, fire spurts, garbage bins with Tom... geez! Go down the stairs and move past them to the left and go down some more stairs. This area has cheese and stuff to find here and there, but this corridor has a LOT of things to hurt you, so be careful and take your time. You can go up the stairs by the garbage bin and make your way left to find a one-up past a plate. Sweet! Go back to the banister and use it to jump up to the higher level on the right, then run under all the plates. Use the second banister here to jump up to a higher ledge and follow these ledges up to a much-needed star (for me at least). Go to the left now, which is pretty much just a gauntlet of pain, but with your star you should be good. You'll find the exit at the end. You'll get another password after this level: Blank, Timer, Cup, Heart. ================ A Stroll Outside ================ ------------------- Level 7: The Garage ------------------- [TJ: LVL7] Where is Tuffy? We started off outside, then went inside, and now we're back outside? Hmm, go to the right and wonder why there's a guillotine in the garage. At the drop off you can find a cup to the right. Take the lower path, not the higher one, and grab another cup to the left. Drop down again and head to the right. This area is pretty tough, mostly due to the vast amount of spikes in the area and the fact that when you're on a ledge you sometimes can't see the spikes below you, but all of these spikes can be cleared with a standing jump. Just be careful with your timing when a water drip or a guillotine immediately follows a spike. If all else fails, just rush this section if you have three or more units of health, since the end sign is at the end of this part. ------------------- Level 8: The Garden ------------------- [TJ: LVL8] Here you'll notice the pipes sticking up. The pits here lead to water resivours where you can find the pipe entrance and ride them up. The ceilings here are spiked, though, so don't run into them. There's also spikes that can fall down, so make sure to go left or right while swimming. Go past the first water pit and make your way to the second. This water pit is HUGE, but first go to the left and find a pipe on the left. When you go through it, be sure to swim down otherwise it'll throw you into the ceiling. This room has a cup and an extra life. The next pipe takes you to the beginning of the stage. (Note: You may have more than 5 continues right now. Picking this one up won't make your hearts go up to six, but you'll have six. Trust me.) Go back to the huge water pit. Here you can explore for cheese, but the important parts here are the star in the bottom right area and the exit to the upper right area (Note that you can press up when LEAVING a pipe to gain extra height). Head right to another water pit. The left area leads to some cheese while the upper right path has a star and a cup. Take the lower right path to continue. To the right is yet ANOTHER water pit, with a cup by the tree to the right. --------------------- Level 9: The Treetops --------------------- [TJ: LVL9] These first couple of areas are pretty enclosed. You can use the holes in the trees and press up or down to move around. Gather the cheese and move up to the third area. Here move to the next tree on the right and go down it. You'll then have to climb all the way back up. Now you'll have to make your way right past a slew of telephone poles. The metal parts here will hurt you, so stick to the edges until you can get lower and use the trees to get up higher again. Here you can find a star up in the trees, but take the right exit above you to get to one last short telephone pole section, where you can find the exit sign at the end. You'll get another password here: Tom, Heart, Blank, Cup. =============== Upstairs Mayhem =============== --------------------- Level 10: The Bedroom --------------------- [TJ: LVL10] Another confusing aspect of reality hits us inside the house again. You'll see what I mean if you head to the right and see the bed? Yeah, notice the ledge? Who puts their bed on a ledge? You can find some items by sprint jumping to the right, but it's too risky for my taste, so go up the stairs. Make your way to the right and beware of the boxes in the house, as Tom hides out in them and tries to ambush you (you can see his ears, though). Make your way up and right and go down the stairs. At the end you'll find some more stairs so make your way up and to the right. You can jump over this gap for some goodies, but you have to follow the ledges as they go down and to the right and then back up to find the exit. There's lots of goodies to the left if you want, but head right to end the level. Be careful of your footing here, as there's nothing to catch you if you fall! This is a suiting challenge, though, as beating this area finishes the game. And so... Congrats on beating Tom & Jerry for the gameboy! ============ Level Codes: ============ [TJ: LVLC] Level 3: Heart, Cheese, Cup, Timer. Level 6: Blank, Timer, Cup, Heart.
