What Is Mappy?

Mappy is one of the earlier Japanese classic puzzle-platformers, first launched in the early 1980s. Developed by Namco, this colorful and charming title revolves around Mappy, the yellow rabbit with the ability to inflate himself into a bouncing ball. Some interesting challenges await: you travel through levels filled with obstacles, enemies, and collectibles, simultaneously trying to keep Mappy's size in check. The game really is a combination of platforming, puzzle-solving, and arcade action that has drawn gamers in for so long.

How to Play

In chasing Mappy, one controls the rabbit by way of simple directional inputs. Mappy's size management remains the key to success. Small Mappy can squeeze through tight spaces and jump only small distances when inflated; he rolls out as a ball that comes in useful when higher platform areas must be reached and, in spirit, crushing the odd enemy here and there. Collection of carrots, dodging obstacles, including that tricky Catbus, are all ways to move up the game. The core challenge is in getting the timing of inflating and deflating right to get the best possible route through each level.

Tips & Tricks

Size Management: Watch Mappy's size. Roll inflation can get him through tight gaps, but you might be crushed if you're not careful.
Carrot Collection: Try to get every carrot for more points. Some are hidden well.
Avoid the Catbus: It's relentless. Use walls and ceilings for a hideaway, or just inflate and roll.
Plan Your Moves: Some levels are strictly dependent on precise timing. Keep on practicing your jump-roll skills to engrave the patterns in your memory.
