A 1989 Platform Game based on [[Literature/TheAdventuresOfTomSawyer the world of Tom Sawyer]], published by Seta for the NES.

The game begins with Tom dozing off and daydreaming while in class. In his dream he must rescue Becky Thatcher from Injun Joe, and that's pretty much the gist of it. You control Tom Sawyer as he explores different areas and lands in his dream adventure, which takes him to weird and wacky locales, like a pirate ship, a forest, and a haunted house.

The game can be played with one or two players in an alternating mode where the second player takes control of Huckleberry Finn.

Not to be confused with [[Creator/SquareEnix Square's]] Japan-only Tom Sawyer [=RPG=], also released on the NES.

----
!!This adventure contains examples of:

* AnimalsNotToScale: Tom battles a giant crocodile at the end of the second level.
* DreamLand: The entire game takes place within Tom's dream.
* ExcusePlot: Tom Sawyer daydreams while at school, sending him on an adventure through a dream land where Injun Joe has kidnapped Becky Thatcher.
* GangplankGalleon: The first level takes place on a ship. The player battles pirates with a giant lazy octopus waiting for him at the very end.
* NeverSmileAtACrocodile: Especially an inexplicably ''giant'' one that sends whirlpools at you.
* RoaringRapids: The second level (Down The River) is an overhead autoscroller that takes Tom up the river. He can steer his raft and can jump over obstacles.
