Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness

Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness is a 3D action-puzzle game that reimagines the classic arcade experience with a fresh narrative and expanded gameplay. Ms. Pac-Man navigates a vibrant 3D world to rescue Donald Duck from the witch Mesmerelda, who has kidnapped him in a plot shared with Professor Pac-Man. The core gameplay blends traditional Pac-Man maze-clearing with Sokoban-style puzzle mechanics, as players collect pixels across interconnected 2D mazes using transporters and power pellets to progress. The game features multiple modes including a story-driven campaign, a classic arcade-style challenge, and various lives settings such as 10-lives and 20-lives options. A standout feature is its support for up to four simultaneous players, with competitive modes including bomb-catch and time-warp variants that add strategic depth to multiplayer matches. The N64 version, developed by Mass Media, brings the PlayStation original's content to Nintendo's console with full four-player support. The game also includes a playthrough of the original Pac-Man arcade classic, offering a nostalgic bonus for longtime fans. With an aggregate score of 73% across platforms and a runner-up nomination for Best Multiplayer Game at the 2000 PlayStation Magazine Editors' Awards, Maze Madness was one of the final Ms. Pac-Man starring appearances before the franchise's later entries. Ranked #140 of 307 N64 games on MobyGames, it remains a solid entry in the Pac-Man legacy.
