He can also find objects to throw at them, such as golf balls. Gomez dispatches enemies by simply jumping on their heads (similar to the Super Mario games). The player will soon discover that the mansion is full of secrets, hidden passageways and side levels and bosses (for the purpose of increasing Gomez's health). Inside the house, Gomez can move from level to level in basically any order. Gomez starts outside the front door of the mansion. Thing will provide hints on gameplay whenever Gomez finds one of his red boxes marked with an 'A' for 'Addams'.

The manservant Lurch and the severed hand Thing are the only characters not to be kidnapped. They have been stowed away in various locations in the mansion and are protected by a boss of some sort.
