Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures
Encyclopedia : P : PA : PAC : Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures
Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures (ハロー! パックマン; Hello! Pac-Man) was released for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and the Mega Drive/Genesis on April 6, 1994 by Namco.
Gameplay
Pac-Man 2 is a side-scrolling puzzle game, making it very much unlike other Pac-Man games in the maze genre. Instead of taking place in a maze collecting dots, the game takes place in a cartoon world (inspired in part by the Pac-Man cartoon series) that Pac-Man can walk around. However, the player does not have direct control over Pac-Man; he will walk and do things on his own. Instead, firing a slingshot—manipulated by the controller—at various onscreen objects triggers events or brings the objects to Pac-Man's attention. The player can also tell Pac-Man to look in various directions in order to help him notice things or to turn him around.The game has a variety of tasks Pac-Man must perform, beginning with finding a bottle of milk for Baby Pac-Man and concluding with a confrontation with the sinister Ghost Witch. There are several locations Pac-Man can explore, such as his hometown and a rugged mountain. There are also mini-games, which include hang gliding and a mine cart course.
Pac-Man's mood is a major aspect of the gameplay. There are several events throughout the game that may affect Pac-Man's mood. If Pac-Man is happy, he will be more willing to listen to suggestions, and if he is angry or upset he will tend to ignore commands. Therefore, it is up to the player to try and keep Pac-Man happy (although some of the game's funnier moments occur when Pac-Man is in a bad mood). Different moods can provoke different situations.
In certain situations, Pac-Man will come under attack by the four ghosts from the classic Pac-Man games. When this happens, Pac-Man will be paralyzed by fear and will refuse to do anything until he is fed a Power Pellet via slingshot, at which point he will become Super Pac-Man. In this form Pac-Man will chase and devour the ghosts, who will sometimes leave behind important items.
Trivia
There is a video arcade in the town and the city scenes where the player can play the original Pac-Man. After completing the side quest of finding three missing cartridge pieces, Ms. Pac-Man also becomes playable in the SNES version. As a greater bonus in the Mega Drive/Genesis version, a completely exclusive game called Pac-Jr. is unlocked instead. This isn't to be confused with the game Jr. Pac-Man, which is a different game.
