Tom and Jerry in Fists of Furry features 10 levels, each with themes like the kitchen from the Tom and Jerry TV show and a boxing ring. With gameplay based on slapstick comedy, players interact with the environment and scattered usable objects like chairs, pool cues, and bombs. Each of the seven characters have unique attacks. Power-ups include invincibility to items (but not to punches or the stage hazards), or a green gas which can contaminate a touched opponent.
Initially, only Tom and Jerry are available as playable characters; by completing the game with each character, players can unlock Butch, Duckling, Tuffy, and Spike and Tyke.
Development began in late 1999, and was in final submission to Nintendo of America by August 2000. Team members had chosen Nintendo 64 due to its library's lack of fighting games. They wanted to simplify controls for all age groups, including the very young, so they chose to forgo the typical combination moves.
All voices in the game were provided by Alan Marriott.
