Mappy Land

Mappy-Land is a video game console-only sequel to the 1983 Namco/Midway arcade game Mappy. The game was developed by TOSE and published by Namco in Japan and Taxan in North America for the Nintendo Entertainment System. There are eight themed lands in this game.

In this game, Mappy the Mouse has been given an extended family, including his girlfriend, 'Mapico the Mouse' and his son, 'Junior the Mouse.' However, Goro and his Mewkie thugs are back and trying to stop Mappy from making a new life. Mappy must survive through the levels collecting: Cheese for his girlfriend's (Mapico's) Birthday. Then Re-do them again but collecting rings for his wedding with Mapico. Then again collecting Christmas trees for the Christmas party. This time Mappy collects baseballs for his son's (Jr's) birthday.

There are 4 worlds and 8 levels in each (A train station, The Wild West, an Island setting, a Jungle, a Pirate-ship, Graveyard, a Small Town, and a Giant Castle). Goro goes through many changes during the levels corresponding to the level Mappy is on. In this particular game, Mappy can jump to collect essential items for his life or activate traps to knock out the Mewkies and Goro. Some items Mappy collects can be used to distract the Mewkies. Once all the essential items have been collected in a level, Mappy can then proceed to the next.

The gameplay is similar to the original Mappy, where the player must collect items and avoid enemies with the assistance of trampolines that will break if jumped on too many times before landing (Jungle World being the one exception to this). The player is a mouse, and the main items to collect are presents. The mouse must at all times avoid the deadly cats. Unlike the original, the doors and Microwave Doors are not present, and instead stage specific counterattack items can be used. Mappy can perform a short jump to trigger these items as well as collect the target items; he can also jump over the Meowkies if timed well. In addition, Mappy can carry a number of distraction items (up to 15) to temporarily stop enemies from pursuing.
