Scratchy's only hope is to complete the course and gather Itchy's lost weapons to defend himself from the maniacal mouse.

In the game's ending, Scratchy celebrates his success by using his golf club to whack Itchy's face off, as Itchy's eyeball's fly into the air, they both land in a golfhole, as Scratchy notes his hole in one.
