Pac-mania is one of the last games of the Pac-Man series.
In this 3-D sequel, Pac-Man gets to eat and run from ghosts in four different
mazes, each complete with its own theme music and name. Some of the levels
include the LEGO-like Block Town, the original maze Pac-Man's Park, the
closed-off top Sand Box Land, and the extremely large Jungly Steps which looks
like a bunch of steps.
Play may be started on any of the first three mazes.
Pac-Man can jump over ghosts, but in addition to the original four ghosts, up to
four more have been added, depending upon the level. Sue has returned, but she
is now colored purple and is aggressive. A green ghost, Funky, has the ability
to jump on higher levels, where there are always two Funkies. There is also a
silver ghost called Spunky who has the same ability to jump, but unlike Funky,
Pac-Man cannot jump over him.
Another new feature in this game is the
appearance of special items in addition to the fruit bonuses (cherries,
strawberries, oranges, apples, bananas, apricots, bells, and keys). These items
include candy, hamburgers, ice cream cones, coffee, and two special kinds of
power pills. The pills, which appear in addition to the traditional power pills,
give Pac-Man more points for eating ghosts and give him extra speed, both of
which come in very handy during gameplay.
