Line #6 YMMV/Mappy


1	!!Arcade Game:
2	* AmericansHateTingle: While the game has its fans in America, it performed rather poorly there compared to the financial success it was in Japan.
3	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGeoG0KQa68 music used for the arcade game]] is very catchy.
4	* FirstInstallmentWins: The arcade version is the most well known, partly due to its other games not being ported as much or, in ''Mappy Arrangement'''s case, at all.
5	* MorePopularSpinoff: The arcade game was based on a series of maze-solving robot toys that Namco created back when it was in the robotics industry. These days, the toys are much more obscure than the game and its spin-offs.
6	* NintendoHard:
7	** The original game is one of Namco's more challenging arcade games, for a variety of reasons. Among them is that Mappy has no direct way of attacking save for opening certain doors, the trampolines vanish if you use them too much (leaving a bottomless pit in their wake which, if you're unlucky enough to use all the ones on the bottom, will make a level impossible to complete) and the cats can easily corner you if you aren't being careful.
8	** ''Arrangement'' is no slouch when it comes to difficulty either, with it adding a ''fifth'' Meowky and tough boss fights that require tons of skill and strategy if you want to beat them [[NoDamageRun without dying]] (which you ''will'' want to do; you've got at most 4 lives to clear 26 stages, and [[ContinuingIsPainful don't even think about continuing if you value your score]]). If you want those end-game point bonuses, you've got your work cut out for you, especially for the million-point [[ThatOneSidequest Pairing Bonus]], which requires you grabbing two of each item in a specific order[[note]]Two radios, two televisions, two computers, two paintings, two safes[[/note]] in ''every'' stage.

10	!![=ShiftyLook=] Series:
11	* BrokenBase: When the episode first dropped, the finale was rather contentious to some. Some fans believe it to be a perfect send-off to have Goro and Mappy accept the fact that they're eternal rivals, whereas others find the ending to be [[AngstAversion too depressing]] because of Mappy being vilified for getting Nyamco shut down despite [[NoGoodDeedGoesUnpunished doing the right thing]] in getting Goro arrested, as well as [[spoiler:ending with Mappy and Dig Dug getting arrested due to Mappy attempting to correct his "mistake"]]. As a result, some fans prefer to consider Episode 12 to be [[FanonDiscontinuity the real finale]]. This has generally become less common of an opinion among modern viewers (see CultClassic below), with more people finding it [[VindicatedByHistory particularly funny and joking about Mappy destroying capitalism instead]].
12	* CultClassic: Hit a small but loyal fanbase in the early 2020s, almost a full decade ''after'' the series had concluded.
13	* FoeYayShipping: Goro shows some questionable behavior towards in Mappy in several episodes of the web series. Fans are keen to capitalize on this.
14	* ValuesResonance: In contrast with the video game, the cartoon has had a ''much'' easier time catching on than when it released, due in part both to Mappy not being a cop (at least, [[RunningGag not anymore]] [[MyGreatestFailure after destroying a painting]]), to [[HoYay the various gay-positive moments]], and also the show overtly being anticapitalist in nature.
