All of the action and fun of the first feminist arcade game can be put in the palm of your hand with MS. PAC-MAN: Special Color Edition. You take control of the yellow disk adorned with lipstick and a pink bow, better known as the lovely Ms. Pac-Man. The goal is to guide her around the maze and eat all of the dots, avoiding the four ghosts that chase you. There are power pellets located in each corner of the maze which, when eaten, turn the ghosts blue. Once this happens, the ghosts can be eaten. Occasionally, fruit will float into the maze, which can be munched for extra points. If your friends want to play along, there is an alternating Two-Player mode. As an additional bonus, a complete version of SUPER PAC-MAN is included on the cartridge. Play as the first female arcade hero in MS. PAC-MAN: Special Color Edition.

Tips & Maps
Power Pellets
Eat a Power Pellet to gain the ability to gobble ghosts when they turn blue. This effect is temporary, so eat and run, watching for ghosts to flash before they revert to normal.
Fruit Treats
Fruits appear twice in each maze and award bonus points; their value increases with each completed maze.
Warp Tunnels
These tunnels transport you to the other side of the maze, useful for zipping around and escaping ghosts.
Game Speed
The game speeds up and Power Pellets wear off sooner as you clear more mazes.
Trick the ghosts
Lead ghosts away from the area you want to clear, then quickly return to eat the dots.
Ghost movement
Ghosts always move down when leaving their lair, so be aware of their initial direction.
Ghost speed in warp tunnels and under nest
Ghosts move slower in warp tunnels and the pathway directly underneath their nest.
Super Power Pellet
Use the Super Power Pellet to break through locked gates.
SUPER Button
When you are Super Pac-Man, use the SUPER Button to make Pac-Man soar through mazes at a very fast pace.
