Pac-Man World 2 is a platformer game where an evil force, stronger than anything before or after it, was trapped underneath a tree. The five golden fruits grew from the tree, and years later, a band of ghosts stole the fruits, unleashing the evil on Pac-World. Only Pac-Man can return the fruits to the tree and stop both the ghosts and the new evil from destroying Pac-World.
Using his famous munching skills, Pac-Man must explore 20 levels filled with monsters, pits, and traps. He can collect Pac-Pills across each map to aid him in his quest. The game features a mix of challenging platforming and puzzle-solving as Pac-Man navigates through the levels.
The game also includes four classic Pac-Man games that can be unlocked, all taken from different Namco compilations. These classic games are:
Ms. Pac-Man (taken from Namco Museum Vol. 3)
Pac-Mania (taken from Namco Museum Vol. 5)
Pac-Attack (remake taken from Namco Anthology 2)

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This 3D platformer follows Pac-Man as he journeys through diverse environments like forests, snowy mountains, and volcanic lands. Players guide Pac-Man through these levels, overcoming environmental hazards and various enemies to recover stolen Golden Fruit.
Story
PAC-VILLAGE
The center of Pac-Life and the starting point of Pac-Man World™ 2. Pac-Man can encounter a cast of characters here, both old and new, who can help him out throughout his adventures.
At the center of it all rests the revered Golden Fruit Tree that once imprisoned Spooky.
FOREST
A lush meadow forest where Pac-Man must search for the first stolen fruit. Here he encounters a variety of forest enemies, including Pac-Bears, Beetles and even a Ghost carrying a Blunderbuss.
Little does Pac-Man know that the Ghosts are expecting him.
TREE TOPS
Don't look down! Far up in the dizzying heights of the rainforest canopy, Pac-Man looks for the Golden Fruit.
Pac-Man must be wary and avoid the Saw Blades while he seeks out the B-Doings to help him find his way out.
SNOW MOUNTAIN
Got your earmuffs on? Pac-Man heads for the mountain where giant snowballs and a bad case of winter stand in his way.
Can he successfully cross an ice river, jump deep crevasses and dangerous avalanches, all while dodging giant snowballs?
LAVA
Hot! Hot! Hot! Pac-Man travels into an active volcano and discovers a host of fire creatures.
The only thing that can protect Pac-Man from the heat of the lava is the Steel Ball Power-Up, so he'll have to make sure to use them wisely.
OCEAN
Down to the very depths of the deep, Pac-Man dons a pair of Flippers to swim through two different levels and avoid the terrors of the deep... sharks, jellyfish and eels!
Professor Pac has been up to his experimenting self and has even created a Pac-Sub to help Pac-Man get to Ghost Island in one piece.
GHOST ISLAND
Only legends describe the horrors that exist on Ghost Island. It is a lonely place of torrential rains and lightning storms where every step and walkway can be treacherous... and deadly!

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. Completing
Items & Weapons
STEEL BALL POWER-UP
This Power-Up makes Pac-Man heavy enough to walk around underwater and bust open underwater chests or crates with a Butt-Bounce or Rev Roll. Wait until it wears off to jump out of deep water.
POWER PELLET
Ghosts can no longer harm Pac-Man when he gains the power of the Power Pellet. In fact, the Ghosts turn blue and run!
SHRINK POWER-UP
Pac-Man shrinks down to a miniscule size when he touches the Shrink Power-Up. Be careful when using a Shrink Power-Up, because Pac-Man can easily be squashed like a bug!
CHECKPOINT
Make it to one of these and Pac-Man will start again from this position if he loses a life. Galaxians also count as checkpoints.
EXTRA LIFE
You can always use an Extra Life. The more lives you have, the longer you can play.
FRUIT
Fruit allows you to open Fruit Chests and is also counted at the end of the level to determine how much of the level was completed.
TOKENS
Tokens are used to activate the arcade games in Pac-Village. Collect as many tokens as you can to activate each of the arcade games.
HEALTH WEDGES
During each level, pie-shaped wedges will appear which replenish Pac-Man's Health Meter. Each wedge picked up adds one Health Wedge to the Health Meter.
Tips & Maps
SWITCHES
Butt-Bounce on switches to activate them. Green switches are used only once, orange switches are timed and can be used multiple times, and blue switches are toggles.
MOVING PLATFORMS AND HELIVATORS
Jump on these platforms to move across areas. Moving platforms move on their own, while Pac-Man must power the Helivator by jumping on it and Rev Rolling.
B-DOINGS
Butt-Bounce on these for a quick launch into the air. There are three types: B-Doing (launches straight up a short distance), Super B-Doing (launches into orbit), and Angled B-Doing (launches in the direction of the arrow).
CHESTS AND CRATES
Break open these to find items or enemies. Crates can be opened by Flip Kicking, Butt-Bouncing, or Rev Rolling, but Chests require the displayed Fruit type to open.
PAC-DOT CHAINS
Sometimes switches unlock Pac-Dot Chains that allow Pac-Man to fly to inaccessible areas. Eating the first red Pac-Dot will automatically carry Pac-Man to his final destination.
Enemies & Characters
BAT
The Bat is the most common flying predator in Pac-Land at night. They are very territorial creatures that will attack anything that enters their domain.
BEETLE
Beetles are predators that live in various regions of Pac-Land. When an enemy enters the area where a Beetle lives, it will try to attack with its massive pincers.
EEL
The Eel is a predator that lurks in the dark caves of the Coral Reefs. Be careful, because the Eel gives off an electrical charge in a small radius around it.
GHOSTS
There are a variety of different Ghosts that can be found in Pac-Land and can carry a variety of different weapons. Just make sure to avoid their touch!
JELLYFISH
The Jellyfish simply floats in the water, but beware of its stinging tentacles.
JUMPING FISH
The Jumping Fish is native to the cold waters of the Snow Mountain region. They jump out of the water in an attempt to catch low flying birds and other small morsels.
NEANDER-PAC
This club-carrying enemy is definitely a block-head! Ever wonder what the Pac-People evolved from?
PAC-ASITES
Pac-asites are a strange combination of a Velociraptor and a Pit-Bull, with pack hunting instincts and the size and ferocity of a Pit-Bull. Watch out for the fiery Pac-asite deep in the lava tubes!
PAC-BEAR
The Pac-Bear is one of the largest natural creatures in Pac-Land and prefers to play with its food before eating it. Pac-Bears can be found in various climates.
PAC-CUB
Pac-Cub is a baby of the Pac-Bear. They are easier to deal with, but still have a whallop of a punch!
POOKA
Pooka's are the underground version of a Pigeon: they bounce around, bumping into each other and objects in the environment. Be careful not to touch them or come too close!
POOKA PLANT
The Pooka Plant is a plant creature that eats Pookas to survive. It is nearly blind and has been known to attack and devour any other creatures that enter its path.
REV ROLL RAM
High in the Snow Mountains is where the Rev Roll Ram can be found. Be wary of its rolling attacks or you'll be knocked off the side of the mountain.
RGB'S
At first glance, these creatures look rather dumb, but get too close and they'll show you why they are ferocious.
SHARK
The Shark is a huge predator of the deep ocean. Feared by all creatures in the water, the Shark feeds upon the fear of its prey to attack with stealth and vigor.
SKELETON
Think Skeletons are scary in real life? Try these ones on for size. They don't have anything to fear, because they don't have a brain!
SPIDER
Arachnophobia? These spiders will give you nightmares for weeks!
STONY
Stony is a magical rock creature that shoots fireballs out of its mouth. Stony is a great guardian for the ancient races and never moves from the area that it blocks, matching the terrain and being difficult to distinguish.
