Game Description
Pac-Man World™ 2 is an action game where Pac-Man clears levels and battles Bosses. The Ghost Gang has stolen the Magical Golden Fruit of Pac-Land, and Pac-Man must retrieve it, meeting various characters along the way. The game is a fast, fun, and furious linear 3D traversal action platform game. What are Levels?
Levels are the modes where you control Pac-Man and play the game. There are two types: one for defeating enemies and collecting items, and another consisting only of Boss Battles. What is the World Map?
Pac-Man can move freely on the World Map and choose which levels to play. You can replay levels to achieve 100% completion, beat high scores, or go through Time Trial Mode. New to Pac-Man World™ 2
In addition to regular levels, Pac-Man World™ 2 features levels on ice skates, in-line skates, swimming with flippers, or in a submarine. These levels offer a slightly different adventure.

Game Play Rules
Pac-Man's Health Meter decreases when he takes damage. Pac-Man can take damage four times before losing a life. If Pac-Man has another life in reserve, the game continues from the last Checkpoint reached. If Pac-Man falls off a ledge, touches lava, or falls into icy water, he loses a life regardless of his Health Meter. Picking up Health Wedges restores Pac-Man's Health Meter by one Health Wedge.
