Editing Mappy (section)

==Legacy==
As part of Bandai Namco's [[ShiftyLook]] initiative, an animated ''Mappy'' web series, titled ''Mappy: The Beat'' was made.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.bleedingcool.com/2012/07/14/shiftylook-moves-into-cartoons-bravoman-jim-zub-scott-kurtz-and-more/|work=[[Bleeding Cool]]|title=ShiftyLook Moves Into Cartoons – Bravoman, Jim Zub, Scott Kurtz And More|last=Johnston|first=Rich|date=July 14, 2012}}</ref> The series was written and directed by [[Scott Kurtz]] and [[Kris Straub]], who also performed all of the character voices, and was designed with [[limited animation]] in the style of Kurtz and Straub's ''Blamimations'' series. The story follows Mappy, now working a thankless job as a security guard for his former foe Goro's company Nyamco. He is accompanied by his friends and fellow Nyamco employees, the laid-back digging-obsessed [[Dig Dug]] and the dim but good-natured [[Sky Kid]], along with other Bandai Namco characters working at the office.<ref>{{cite web |url = http://www.siliconera.com/2013/06/24/theres-a-cartoon-parody-of-namco-characters-working-at-namco-bandai |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130628065357/http://www.siliconera.com/2013/06/24/theres-a-cartoon-parody-of-namco-characters-working-at-namco-bandai |archive-date=June 28, 2013 |title=There's A Cartoon Parody Of Namco Characters Working At Namco Bandai {{!}} Siliconera}}</ref> ''Mappy: The Beat'' premiered on ShiftyLook's [[YouTube]] channel on July 22, 2013, and ran for 13 episodes, each roughly eight minutes in length, with the final episode released on January 20, 2014. Kurtz also made a guest appearance as Mappy on the concurrent ''[[Bravoman#ShiftyLook media|Bravoman]]'' animated series, with Bravoman in turn appearing in the final story arc of ''Mappy'', portrayed by guest voice Dax Gordine. Following the closure of ShiftyLook, their channel was removed from YouTube, making the episodes no longer officially available.

A costume based on ''Mappy'' is in ''[[LittleBigPlanet 3]]'' in the Namco Classics DLC. 

A medley of tracks from ''Mappy'' is in the Pac-Land stage in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'' and in one of Pac-Man's taunts.

A theme based on ''Mappy'', featuring the game's characters, were available as downloadable content in ''[[Pac-Man 99]]'' during the game's lifetime.
