3''Tom And Jerry: The Ultimate Game Of Cat And Mouse!'' (also known as ''Tom and Jerry (and Tuffy)'' or just as ''Franchise/TomAndJerry'', like the cartoon that inspired the game) is a VideoGame released by Creator/HiTechExpressions for UsefulNotes/NintendoEntertainmentSystem in 1991, and for MS-DOS in 1993. The premise of the game is simple: Tom "[[{{Pun}} mouse-napped]]" Tuffy, Jerry's nephew, and locked him in a trunk in the attic, and now Jerry must go through all the parts of the house to get to him.

5!!{{Trope}}s:
6* CollisionDamage: Played straight with most enemies, but some of them, like the moths in the level 1-1, can't kill Jerry directly, and if they touch him, he will just get pushed.
7* DistressedDude: Tuffy is this in this video game by virtue of being kidnapped by Tom, Jerry’s job is to rescue him.
8* DownTheDrain: Level 1-2. It manages to avert the AbsurdlySpaciousSewer trope, because the pipes are just large enough for Jerry, a mouse, to go through them.
9* EverythingIsTryingToKillYou: You can be killed by chattering teeth, water, spiders, etc.
10* ExcusePlot: Tuffy was "[[{{Pun}} mouse-napped]]" and now Jerry must go through some platform levels to save him from Tom.
11* FallingDamage: Jerry loses one heart if he falls from a high enough height.
12* FinalBoss: The final obstacle you face is Tom himself.
13* HeartsAreHealth: The player starts with three, and Jerry loses one every time he's hit. Hearts can be recovered if Jerry catches a big piece of cheese.
14* InvincibleMinorMinion: Some enemies are unkillable, but if they're hit enough times, they can be stopped just for long enough for Jerry to get past them.
15* InvincibilityPowerUp: Some levels contain drinks that can provide Jerry with temporary invincibility.
16* KaizoTrap: May come combined with LastDitchMove. In the boss levels, Jerry can still die after defeating Tom. For example, in level 1-3, Jerry can still drown in the water if he falls, or can still be hit by one of Tom's projectiles.
17* RecurringBoss: The titular Tom is fought several times throughout the [[VideoGame game]].
18* RespawningEnemies: Of the variety that respawns if Jerry gets out of the area where they were and then goes back.
19* StockBeehive: Seen in level 2-3, and Jerry needs the bees to defeat Tom.
20* WingedSoulFliesOffAtDeath: When the player loses a life, Jerry's spirit flies off, complete with angel wings.
