Cheese for his girlfriend's (Mapico's) Birthday. Then Re-do them again but collecting rings for his wedding with Mapico. Then again collecting Christmas trees for the Christmas party. This time Mappy collects baseballs for his son's (Jr's) birthday. There are 4 worlds and 8 levels in each (A train station, The Wild West, an Island setting, a Jungle, a Pirate-ship, Graveyard, a Small Town, and a Giant Castle).
