Game Name : Mappy
ROM Name  = mappy

Controls:   
    2 way joystick, door button




Story
The player takes control of Mappy, the brave mouse policeman. Mappy's mission is to retrieve all of the stolen treasure from the Meowky cat gang. They've stashed all of the loot in their leader's mansions which contain several floors, and also numerous trampolines that the Meowkies have to use to travel between the various stories. Mappy's job is only to recover the stolen goods, not to make any arrests, so you should not let him get near any cats (including the "Gosenzo" cat-coin) or it's lights out for Mappy.

Gameplay
The player must direct Mappy through each of the Meowky gang's mansions.
You must collect every stolen item in the mansion to advance to the next round. Collect pairs of items consecutively for bonus points.
You must avoid contact with Nyamco and the Meowky cat gang while standing on a floor. If they catch you, Mappy will lose a life and must restart.
Use the trampolines to bounce from one floor of the mansion to another. Mappy is (mostly) safe from harm while in the air - the "Gosenzo" cat coin being an exception.
Press the door button to open and close doors. Use doors to block or shove enemy cats and temporarily stun them.
Open a flashing door to emit a microwave that drives the cats off the screen for bonus points. If Nyamco (the leader) is caught in it, he will double your points.
In the bonus rounds, you must collect all sixteen of the bonus balloons as quickly as you can before the song ends, giving you an additional 'perfect game' bonus.

Used to run this one on an early version of mame back in the 90s on a 486 in the Caribbean.  Back when I had dial up lynx internet and mame admitted it was about stealing games. 

And I used to be much better.   

18,070 just to get on the board

Edit - put in a few more games, 34,800

You have to break some trampolines in order to fall through to collect the balloons faster. If you jump three times on a trampoline without getting off, it breaks. In the first bonus round, collect the first balloon, when falling wait until you are close to the trampoline, then hold the stick to the right or left. Mappy will make short jumps against the wall until the trampoline breaks, then he falls through, automatically collecting the balloon beneath him. Rinse and repeat where necessary.

i know how to do, but i can't execute the timing without messing up.

getting closer though.

My "best" effort so far

[FrizzleFried]

Keys to success:

1. Learn which "prizes" earn what... then go in order 100, 200, 300, etc.

2. When possible try to get the matching "prize"... and if you do it in order of score (see 1 above) then the 2nd "prize" will garner 100x2, 200x3, 300x4, 400x6, 500x6... so yeah,  that last "paired" prize will net you  500 for the first guy and 3000 for the second.

3. When doing the bonus stage,  keep in mind you can quickly remove the trampolines by pushing toward a wall... that will make you bounce much faster and then after the 5th (I think) bounce it disappears.  This makes the bonus stages easy.

4. Try to kill the cat with the "super doors" (whatever they are called) when possible.

1. Ghettoblaster - TV - Computer - Mona Lisa - Safe

3. A trampoline breaks after the 3rd bounce. Every time you bounce on a trampoline, it changes it's color. A red trampoline will break if you hop on it.

4. Every cat you catch with the microwave is worth 200 points, if you catch the boss in it, he is worth 200 points too and the score for all cats is doubled.

5. If you catch the boss hiding behind a prize, you get 1000 points.
