To complete Mappy-Land, you must complete 4 worlds, with 8 stages per world, for a combined total of 32 worlds. Throughout a majority of the stages, all that you are required to do is collect six items, and exit through the right side of the stage. In some stages, you are required to perform an additional task such as collecting an item from the inside of a building in the stage, before being permitted to advance to the next stage. Some stages also include access to bonus stages.
Bonus Stages[edit]
Two stages per world provide the player with access to a bonus stage. Specifically, they are 1-2, 1-5, 2-3, 2-7, 3-1, 3-8, 4-2, and 4-7. In order to access the bonus stage, Mappy must not be storing any distraction items. If he is free of all items, he must proceed to jump on one particular trampoline three times without pressing any of the controls. If he jumps on the correct trampoline three times, instead of falling down when the trampoline turns red, he will be launched into a bonus stage with a couple of moving trampolines. Here, he can collect a number of distraction items, as well as gaining the unique opportunity to collect a 1-Up icon. The bonus stage is over as soon as Mappy falls through the bottom of the screen.
Stage progression[edit]
The following table indicates each of the special properties of each stage, including the following information:
- The location of the particular item which, when collected first, multiplies the value of each item collected by five, counted as the number of items from the left side of the stage
- The particular trampoline which provides access to the bonus stage, if applicable.
- The extra steps required to complete the particular stage, if applicable.
