Tom & Jerry (USA, Europe) on Game Boy Color is an action platformer where players can control either Tom the Cat or Jerry the Mouse, each offering unique gameplay and distinct objectives.

When controlling Tom, your primary objective is to catch Jerry. Tom's levels often focus on pursuit and utilizing items to hinder Jerry. Tom can throw objects, jump, and use various tools to overcome obstacles or neutralize threats.

Conversely, when playing as Jerry, your goal is to survive and escape from Tom, or collect specific items like cheese to complete the level. Jerry is smaller, more agile, and can access areas Tom cannot. Jerry's levels typically require dexterity, small puzzles, and avoiding Tom's attacks along with other hazards.

The game features various levels, each designed based on familiar cartoon settings, such as the kitchen, living room, garden, etc. Players will face different types of enemies and obstacles like Spike the dog, Tuffy the mouse, mousetraps, and falling objects. Collecting cheese (for Jerry) or other items is necessary to increase points or achieve objectives.

Levels often culminate in a boss encounter with Tom (when playing as Jerry) or Jerry (when playing as Tom), requiring players to use strategy and quick reflexes to win. The game's graphics feature the characteristic cartoon style, faithfully recreating the world of Tom and Jerry on the Game Boy Color screen, providing a familiar and entertaining experience for fans.
