Mappy Kids is a side-scrolling platformer released exclusively in Japan for the NES (Famicom) in 1989 by Namco. As a spin-off of the classic arcade game Mappy, it leaves behind the original’s single-screen police-mouse action. Instead, you play as Mappy’s son, Happy, running and jumping through varied levels to collect enough money to build a house and win the heart of his bride-to-be.
How to Play
Navigate the platforming stages by kicking enemies and finding hidden treasure. At the end of each level, you can spend or gamble your cash in shop minigames to boost your funds. The ultimate goal is to buy the most impressive house possible by the end of the game.
- Move: Arrow Keys

Tips
- Search carefully for hidden areas in every level, as they often contain large stashes of money and power-ups.
- Manage your funds wisely in the end-of-level slot machines and shops to ensure you can afford the best house parts.
