GBA reissue of Mappy in the Famicom Mini collection, a tribute to the 1983 Namco arcade game in which a police mouse outwits thieving cats by bouncing on trampolines. Its singular vertical platform mechanic makes it a recognizable classic of Namco's early catalogue. Reissued in a faithful miniature box, it rounds out the representation of historical third parties in the line. Its collecting interest rests on this retro platform curiosity and on its place in the anniversary series.
