==Gameplay== thumb|left|Mappy launches a push wave at a pair of Meowkies (arcade version). Controls consist of a two-position joystick and a button. The player assumes the role of Mappy, a police mouse tasked with recovering stolen items from a mansion that serves as a hideout for a gang of thieving cats.
