The story
Mappy is almost always busy at work as a policeman. But, today he is on vaca-
tion. Mapico is his girlfriend, and Mappy wants to marry her if he can find
the ring that was stolen by the Guchi Gang. Today is Mapico's birthday and
Mappy bought many wonderful presents for her.
Unfortunately, Nyamco and Muky of the Guchi Gang have stolen, and hidden them
somewhere in the eight areas of Mappyland. Mappy will be late for Mapico's
birthday party, and he may never have a chance to look for the ring unless
you help him find the presents.
Other exciting adventures await, as Mappy tries to capture the Guchi Gang with
some very odd weapons that include fish, fireworks and bowling balls. Only you
can help. Are you clever and brave enough to accept the challenge?

Playing techniques
How to use the trampolines
Press the MOVE button when you wish to get back to the floor while Mappy is
bouncing up. If you land on the red trampoline you will lose points.
Combination attacks
When you mix "Weapons for Protection" and "Weapons for Fighting" you can
defeat most of your enemies at the same time and score a lot of points. For
example: After distracting Muky with toys (weapons for protection) use the
Fireworks and Pulleys (weapons for fighting) to add to your score.
Jumping techniques
You can jump above the enemies, but this trick must be used only in trouble
spots.

How to get through the sub-area
In some areas the exit which allows you to proceed to the next area will be
closed. In this case you must find a secret entrance which will take you to
a sub-area. For example, in the sixth area, after retrieving the key, you
must find the secret entrance into the church, and locate the cross. When you
have done this you can proceed to the seventh area.
In some areas, you must find a certain spot and then jump to enter the sub-
area. For example, in the Third story-first area, you must go between the
first and second cars of the train, then jump.
