In an effort to calm their nerves, Sheriff Woody sends a troop of green army men, along with a baby monitor, to report. It is the day of Andy's birthday party, and his toys are riled up about the possible newcomers and their potential replacement. The game closely follows the plot of Toy Story, with a few minor differences.

The Windows version lacks 'Really Inside the Claw Machine', the first-person maze level. The Genesis and Windows versions have an additional racing level named 'Day-toy-na', absent from the other versions, in which Woody rides R.C. The Game Boy version is the shortest version of the game with 10 levels. The Sega Genesis version has 18 levels, while the Super NES and Microsoft Windows versions have 17.

Another stage is played from a first-person perspective as Woody searches through a maze to find alien squeaky toys lost inside the claw machine and return them to the play area, where the rest of the alien toys reside, all within a time limit. Both play largely the same the game takes an overhead view of the level, giving the players basic acceleration, braking and steering, and tasking players with reaching the end of the stage while not running out of batteries (which drain constantly, but can be replenished by bumping them out of Buzz in the former stage, and merely finding them on the ground in the latter). in two stages: one in which Woody knocks Buzz out a window, the other in which they both race back to the moving truck.

The game occasionally changes genres for a stage. This whip can also latch onto certain hooks, letting Woody swing above perilous terrain. It cannot, however, kill enemies (with the lone exception of Nightmare Buzz, the only boss in the game to be permanently defeated through the whip). Woody is equipped with a pullstring whip, which will temporarily tie up opponents, letting Woody pass by unharmed. Several obstacles lie between the player and the goal of each level, including an assortment of enemies. Players control Woody through several stages that encompass the entire plot of the film.

The game was followed by a sequel based on the second film, called Toy Story 2: Buzz Lightyear to the Rescue. It is based on the film of the same name, and follows its plot. Toy Story is a side-scrolling platform game released by Disney Interactive in 1995 for the Sega Genesis, Super Nintendo Entertainment System, Game Boy, and Microsoft Windows.
