The addams family (snes version)
Based on a true story
The Addams Family is based on three parts of the franchise released at the time: the black and white cartoons by Charles Addams, the 1960s live action television show starring John Astin and Carolyn Jones, and the 1991 Addams Family movie starring Raúl Julia and Angelica Huston. Gomez's character sprite is based on Astin's portrayal, and portraits hanging in the Music Room belong to Julia and Huston among other movie cast members.

Paid to the estate of ...
The Addams Family mansion is the scene of Tully Alford and Abigail Craven's shenanigans involving the family. It is highly recommended to have a digital map available alongside your playthrough because there are many nooks and crannies to explore inside and outside of the house. Walking through false walls is highly encouraged.

What's good family?
The basic plot of the game also follows the movie: Gomez must rescue his various family members and face off against the evil and corrupt judge to get his beloved Morticia back. To do that, Gomez traverses his sprawling spooky estate with weapons such as a fencing sword (a nod to the live-action version of the character's proclivity for fencing), golf balls (that Julia's version loved to hit at his judge neighbor's house), and a fezi hat (that Astin wore in the live-action show).

Heart of gold
Gomez's life begins with three heart containers. You can find an additional three containers in the Old Tree, the Kitchen and the Conservatory areas. Finding hearts around the play field and defeating enemies refills them.

Gomez's physics are as such that he can land on almost any enemy to destroy them. Spiky enemies are the exception to the rule, however. He can also survive landing in lava and what appear to be endless pits.
