Game Play

n 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 (not available on  the Japanese version). 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.
