The game uses a side-view, multi-level stage layout. Mappy moves left and right, climbs between floors, and uses springy doors and bounce points to traverse the building. The goal is to collect all stolen items while avoiding the cat thieves. Timing, positioning, and route planning matter because Mappy's movement is built around quick jumps and controlled landings. Each cleared stage leads to faster and more aggressive enemy patterns.

Mappy is an action arcade game developed and published by Namco, later released for the NES. Players control the police mouse Mappy as he races through a multi-story building, avoiding cat burglars and recovering stolen goods. Its brisk pace, spring-based movement, and steadily rising difficulty made it a memorable early-1980s arcade title.
Mappy
The police mouse protagonist who recovers the stolen goods.
Meowkies
The cat burglars who patrol the building and chase Mappy.
Plan routes to gather nearby items in one pass and avoid unnecessary backtracking. Use doors and bounce points to break pursuit, but always watch your landing spot. When several enemies converge, create space first and return for the remaining items later. Memorizing floor layouts and patrol routes becomes increasingly important in later stages.

Clear upper or edge items first to reduce the chance of being trapped.
Tips
Keep your movement consistent when using spring doors so you do not misjudge the landing.
Tips
If multiple cats gather on one floor, use bounce points to quickly change position and open a safe gap.

Easy to pick up, but very hard to master thanks to its fast, tense pacing.
User Reviews
Its cartoon style and chase-driven gameplay still feel distinctly charming today.
