The game was ported to the Wii Virtual Console in Japan on June 2, 2009, followed by the Arcade Archives series for the Nintendo Switch and PlayStation 4 on January 20, 2022.

In Hopping Mappy, players control the Micro Police mouse, Mappy, as he bounces on a pogo stick to run circles around pink cats, called Meowkies, who patrol either vertically or horizontally.

The player controls are simple - he can bounce in any of the four directions, the only places he can land are the centers of the checkerboard squares (making for few locations overall), and he will move at the same speed as the cats.

This coin is faster than Mappy and will eventually kill the player unless he collects the final treasure before it reaches him.
