If one of Tom's allies retrieves Jerry, they gain strength, resulting in higher damage output while also being momentarily faster as their speed increases.

When they are apart, if Tom uses a Neutral normal attack (ground), Jerry will shoot a cork toward him. In any other case of a normal attack, Jerry will shoot a cork in the direction that Tom is facing. He can release multiple corks until he depletes his ammo resource.
