Tom Sawyer’s famous literary exploits come to life in this adventure where you play Tom Sawyer (or Huck Finn in a 2 player game). The adventure begins in Tom’s dream while he sleeps in school. The player has to rescue Becky Thatcher from his nemesis Injun Joe by making his way through six enemy infested stages.
Control in this typical platform game consists of jumping and throwing rocks. Avoid many obstacles such as rolling barrels; defeat persistent enemies such as pirates, mice, and even a giant octopus. Help Tom navigate down the Mississippi River, through forests, haunted houses, and the sky above.
Oddly, the North American version of the game had its level shuffled, meaning it starts with the difficult pirate ship stage (which is the fifth stage in the Japanese version). This makes for a game which starts off much harder than it does in Japan.
