If Mr. Papi misses a platform and falls, the game is over. The game is not winnable, there is no victory condition. The basic/free version has three level types/modes - Normal, Fall and Enemy. At first, only Normal mode is available, but once a certain high score is reached, Fall mode is unlocked. In fall mode, when Mr. Papi jumps on a platform, it falls down, so he can not jump on it again. Also, in that mode some platforms are colored red, and make him jump higher than standard platforms. The third and final mode, Enemy, is unlocked by reaching a certain score in one of the first two modes. In the Enemy mode, there are enemies who appear from the top part of the screen, and can be shot at by Mr. Papi (by touching the screen). The shots Mr. Papi has are limited, but can be increased by eating hamburgers. If an enemy touches Mr. Papi, he is flicked away and may fall, causing a loss of the game.
