Hopping Mappy/Gameplay

Controls

 * Joystick: Use the 4-way joystick to direct Mappy around each garden stage.

 * 1 or 2 Player Buttons: Push these buttons to begin a 1 or 2 player game.

Mappy
The protagonist of the game.

Nyamco
He always starts four squares to the right of Mappy. He goes up, left, down, left and then starts moving back to the right again once he gets to the edge. Occasionally he will fall over, and that allows you to jump on him for 100 points. But you may want to do so from behind in case he gets up. He moves 15 squares before he falls over, and after eight Mewky bounces he quits his huffing and puffing and starts moving again.

Mewkies
There may be over ten of these in any round. They move up and down or left and right with no variants. Once they reach an edge of the screen they start moving the other way.

Items
There are five different types of items. If you get caught between the first and second items the box will still appear even with the bonus multiplier reset. But if the box appears and you die, it's gone for that round.
 * Wolf's head: 10 points
 * Maneki Neko: 20 points
 * Russian doll: 30 points
 * Snowman: 40 points
 * Box: 0 first time, 50 second
