Summary
The SNES version of PacāManĀ 2: The New Adventures hides a nostalgic surprise ā the classic PacāMan arcade title appears as a bonus mode, complete with slightly refreshed graphics and its own highāscore table. It never saw a standalone cartridge, making it a quirky extra for anyone who digs through the gameās menu.
Unlike the mazeāchasing roots of the series, this entry turns PacāMan into a pointāandāclick hero who wanders at his own pace. Players wield a slingshot to nudge him toward objects, feed him apples to lift his mood, or even prod him when heās down, shaping how cooperative he becomes. Moodābased puzzles blend humor with challenge, and occasional chase segments thrust him into hangāglider or mineācart runs that demand quick reflexes.
Scattered throughout the adventure are three hidden cartridges; finding them unlocks a playable Ms.āÆPacāMan session, while a visit to an ināgame arcade lets you fire up the original PacāMan. Critics praised its innovation ā Famitsu gave it strong scores and GamePro noted the fresh, if sometimes frustrating, control scheme.
Storyline
After a brief intro where PacāMan explains the controls, the SNES title launches into a series of loosely linked misadventures. First he must fetch milk for PacāBaby from a nearby farm, then Ms. PacāMan asks him to pick a special flower for Lucyās birthday, sending him on a trolleyāticket ride through mountains where he hangāglides, dodges ghosts and boulders, and returns too late for the party. Later PacāJr arrives home upset because ghosts stole his guitar in PacāCity; PacāMan receives a train ticket, disguises himself as a security guard, and recovers the instrument. The final segment begins with a news report that ghosts are stealing childrenās ABC gum, after which the Ghost Witch of Netor hijacks the broadcast and summons a Gum Monster. PacāMan battles through an abandoned factory, confronts the Witchās hideout, and as Super PacāMan defeats the monster, the Witchās minions flee. Though the gum is lost, the town and his family hail PacāMan as a hero.
