This is one of those games that considered classic back in the time, but I was never really hooked to it.
The story is pretty simple : relive the life of Mappy. While the story is not much mentionned in the game. The only way to know this is that at the end of each ''world'', you will have a screen telling why you were collecting all the items(ex: cheese for the birthday party, rings to get married, etc)
Speaking of collecting, the main goal of the game is to collect many items in the stage before reaching the end. You will have a counter of how many of that particular item that needs to be collected before heading to the far right of the stage. The system is pretty simple, but the task is pretty redundant.
The main mechanics of the game is to use the trampoline between levels without getting touched by the cats. Getting caught by a cat makes you lose a stock and need to restart the level. Some of the enemies can be jumped over, some of them are too big and your only option is to run away. At least, when jumping on a trampoline, you are invulnerable to enemies. So all of you can jump on that trampoline without concerns of losing. However, jumping on that trampoline too many times in a row makes the thing disappears and is now a hole to die into.
There are some traps that can be triggered by Mappy to eliminate the enemies temporarily . Each traps are unique to their stages. The stages, by the way, have a different setting, which makes the game more colorful and they each have their songs.
While the game can be fun at the beginning, the games starts to be really redundant, since you need to do all stages 4 times. I can only recommend people to do only one world just to experience it and that would be it.
