NCS Game Notes
* The intro takes place in Pac-Town where Ms Pac-Man is calling out for Junior. She turns around and sees Junior carrying a cake. Pac-Man enters and she wishes him Happy 25th birthday. A few seconds later, Pac-Man is teleported to a tree branch and then to a weathervane. Then to the top of a house and other locations. He falls and is about to crash into his cake when he blinks out again. In the next scene, Pac-Man is tumbling down a pit and he wakes to find himself in a green tinted location. Orson greets him and tells him that he has teleported him to the pit and tells him to try to go up to meet him.

* Pac-Man can punch with the "O" button or perform a butt-bounce by pressing "X" twice in quick succession. He also now has a Sonic the Hedgehog-like rushing attack where he revs up by holding the "SQUARE" button and zooms when it is released.

* All of the classic Pac-Man sounds are present in the game including the fruit sound once a strawberry or cherry is gobbled and the dot-eating sound whenever dots are consumed. Watch Pac-Man open his mouth and deftly gobble every dot whenever they are in his path.

* As Pac-Man makes his way up to see Orson, he'll learn to wall jump, butt-bounce on many monsters, avoid noxious green gases, and collect Pac wedges to recover health. He'll also activate a large robot so that a makeshift bridge is laid down so Pac-Man can cross the river of green goo below. Orson tells Pac-Man that a megalomaniac named Erwin is out to destroy Pac Land, the Spectral Realm, and everything else. As Pac-Man enters the level, Orson warns him that spectral ghosts are manifesting and Pac has to eat power pellets to chomp them. Once a power pellet is consumed, the siren sound goes off and Pac-Man may eat the blue ghosts by running up to them and making contact.

* Scarab beetles roam around the levels and they skitter across the ground with a scratchy sound effect. If Pac-Man does a butt-bounce near them, they'll flip over. To destroy them, bounce on top of them and they'll be reduced to a smear on the ground.

* Galaxian trophies may be found on every level which lead to a mini-game. The first mini-game is an updated version of classic Pac-Man where the voracious eater chews up dots and power pellets while four ghosts roam the maze.
