## **Plot**

* World of Light

The story begins with a close-up of a Blaster aimed at the horizon, revealing its wielder to be Tom, who gives the command of "Don't let a single one get away!". The camera then zooms out and pans to the left, revealing that Tom is addressing a massive army of fighters - all of whom have been summoned to the edge of a cliff, a cliff similar to the one shown in the intro of Tom and Jerry Theme and in the end cutscene in Subspace Emissary. The camera then pans upward to reveal Galeem, who is currently accompanied by a looming army of Master Hands that is slowly approaching the mount. As Andie explains that every fighter present will most likely need to take down at least ten, Rita displays her resolve, exclaiming that the time has come to stow their fear and that it's now or never. Gary reassures himself and his fellow fighters that they'll win the upcoming battle.

As the fighters prepare for battle, Menma Uzumaki appears and kills everyone (execpt Tom Cat and Blaze The Cat). The landscape, constructed by Galeem, is none other than the World of Light and Galeem orders the cats to rescue all of their friends.

* Army of Puppets

Following Tom and Blaze's arrival in the World of Light, the scene cuts to a dark room, in which the only source of light found in it reveals that of a now-unconscious Jerry Mouse being held captive by a series of fibers made out of pure energy. A golden liquid resembling that of molten metal is poured upon Jerry's body, which is then absorbed by the fibers holding him. The liquid then passes through the stand on which he is situated to create a monochrome clone of him, which forms on the stand's opposite end.

The resulting puppet fighter then disconnects from the stand and falls to the ground, motionless. The spirit of a Smoky Progg then weaves around the darkroom and, coming across the lifeless Jerry clone, is forced by Menma to possess it, thus giving life to the previously inanimate statue, which now dons distinctive red, glowing eyes. The camera slowly zooms outward, revealing that Menma has already made puppet fighters out of every single playable character (except for Tom and Blaze), with the intention of unleashing this army upon the planet to stop the cats from freeing their comrades. The scene then cuts back to Tom and Blaze, now about to take their first steps into the World of Light.

* From Light to Dark

Both Tom and Blaze rescues many fighters and spirits (with Jerry Mouse always being the first fighter rescued) and defeats Maleficent, Hades and Paula Richards powering Galeem's shield. A Master Hand puppet appears to intercept but is destroyed. Unfortunately, Menma defeat Galeem, but this victory is short-lived as a crack appears in the sky. The crack shatters and Dharkon and his army of Crazy Hands emerge, taking advantage of the situation and forcing Galeem to retreat. The World of Light is then swallowed by darkness, with Dharkon taking control of Galeem's remaining spirits and fighters and orders the animals to rescue the humans.

* The Final Battle

The fighters continue to free the puppets and spirits under Dharkon's control, and defeat William Hanna, Joseph Barbera and Stacy to force Dharkon to appear. After Menma defeat Dharkon, he retreats, but Galeem soon comes back and launches an assault with a new army of spirits and puppet fighters. Both of them try to defeat Menma, but Tom Cat, Jerry Mouse, Scooby-Doo, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Cindy Bear, Woody Woodpecker, Runt, Rita, Dino, Smurfette, Gary, Hammy, Judy Hopps, Ryan, Michelangelo, Garfield, Jewel, Iago, Jewel, Andie, Kermit and the rest of the fighters soon catch up in the middle with both Dharkon and Galeem noticing. The final battle is about to begin.

Gameplay-wise, The Final Battle takes place on a map that uniquely has no sub-areas and no obscuring clouds, with the player at the center bottom, Dharkon at the top left, and Galeem at the top right. Initially, there is no path to reach either Galeem or Dharkon, and the background is split in half with Dharkon controlling the dark side and Galeem controlling the light side. As the player defeats more dark spirits, the background moves so that more of it is covered with light, and vice versa.

* Endings
* Consumed by Menma

At that moment an explosion occurs at their castle, where Menma from earlier asks for the scroll they brought back. He overpowers Minato, Kushina, and Stonekeeper, and then The Five Satins and Heavenly Quartez arrive. They realize that this was Menma that Stonekeeper was talking about, and that he knows God. He overpowers them, and kidnaps Stonekeeper in exchange for the scroll. He then uses Great Spiralling Ring, destroying a large part of New York City and leaves. The world then rots into a necrotic desert, and Menma is then shown in the corrupted world, now completely dark forever.

* Restoration

As Tom and his friends decides to save Stonekeeper, but Minato and Kushina try to prevent him in fear of him dying. Then, Stacy and Blaze both sang their song from 2nd film and 4th film to convinces Minato and Kushina about Tom's bravery.

The fighters rescue Stonekeeper and defeat a Master Hand and a Crazy Hand. Galeem calls on William Hanna and the original Master Hand as reinforcements, while Dharkon calls on Joseph Barbera and the original Crazy Hand. The fighters also free all four from Menma's control.

At this point, the Hands appear at the top center of the map, but there is no path to reach them unless the number of dark and light spirits on each side is equal or nearly equal. Once this condition is met, interacting with the Hands causes them to come to the fighters' aid, creating a fissure in the background where Master Hand dives in. He becomes a temporarily playable character as he defeats an onslaught of 50 puppet fighters consisting of Tom Cat, Jerry Mouse, Scooby-Doo, Bugs Bunny, Daffy Duck, Cindy Bear, Woody Woodpecker, Runt, Rita, Dino, Smurfette, Gary, Hammy, Judy Hopps, Ryan, Michelangelo, Garfield, Jewel, Iago, Jewel, Andie, Kermit; destroying the former light and dark background and replacing it with a golden backdrop. This opens up the paths to fight Galeem or Dharkon solo (as seeing both bad endings is necessary to obtain 100% clear), but also creates a new true ending path in the middle where Galeem and Dharkon come together from their previous positions, face to face, for the final confrontation.

The fighters climb the long stairwell while being attacked by Menma Uzumaki and defeating more puppets. Afterward, they all fight Menma once again. The two deity-like beings continue to battle each other before turning their attention to the fighters in a three-way climactic clash. Even in the midst of a shared enemy, the two deities still wage war against one another. When both Galeem and Dharkon are destroyed, their armies vanish as they fall into the ocean and explode, cleansing the universe of their influence. Now free, the spirits return to their original worlds.
