Mappy Kids (Cart Only)

Mappy Kids (マッピーキッズ) for the Nintendo Famicom. Developed by Now Production and published by Namco under their classic Namcot label, it hit store shelves in Japan on December 22, 1989.

Leap into a colorful, high-stakes mouse race with Mappy Kids for the Nintendo Famicom. Shifting away from the classic single-screen trampoline mechanics of the arcade original, this late-generation platformer places players in control of Mappy's twin sons, Happy and Rappy, competing in a vibrant, side-scrolling dash across town to earn money and win the hand of their sweetheart, Mapiko.

Players navigate tricky branching paths, collect coins, and outmaneuver aggressive cat outlaws before facing off in dynamic, split-screen mini-games at the end of each stage. Delivering ultra-smooth jumping physics, beautifully detailed character animations, and a wonderfully upbeat 8-bit arcade soundtrack, this charming Namco classic represents an exceptionally fun and competitive highlight of late-era Famicom software design.
