Pac-Man World 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 03)

Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Pac-Man World 2 - Strategy Guide (Page 03).

TOTALS: 4 cherries, 4 strawberries, 1 orange, 2 apples, 66 pac dots, 1 token

Next section is pretty short. Eat the Power Pellet and the ghost for a token.
The box between the mines has a token in it as well. Torpedo attack from the
side and hopefully you'll avoid the mines. Torpedo attack at the orange at the
bottom underneath a bunch of mines to get it safely. After that quickly rise up
to collect the pac dots. In the section with tons of mines, your best bet is to 
torpedo attack right through it and grab the health wedge to cancel out getting
hurt. Now the next checkpoint.

TOTALS: 4 cherries, 6 strawberries, 3 oranges, 2 apples, 2 melons, 72 pac dots, 
3 tokens

Another short section but it's harder than the last. Following the first pac
dot chain is pretty tough. You have to make sure you don't veer off too far to 
one side. After this, avoid the mines. The best way to do this I found is to
go high on the left side, and then swing back down and right. I don't know if
that makes any sense but I hope it helps. Get the box for a token and then grab
the fruit. Now stay low and torpedo attack along the ground. Stay away from the
shadows. You may get hit here anyways, but sometimes if you stay low you get by
without a scratch. Now stay low and go under the mines. Grab the Power Pellet
and swerve right to nab the ghost and his token. Stay right and against the rock 
to slowly move around the mine. Now torpedo the box for a fruit and get the next
fruit behind it. Torpedo in between the V shaped mines and then rise to the top
to avoid the next mine section. Go down for the pac dots and you'll reach a 
checkpoint soon after.

TOTALS: 6 cherries, 6 strawberries, 3 oranges, 3 apples, 4 melons, 112 pac dots, 
5 tokens

Keep low and hit the box. Now swing up for the fruit. After you get the 
strawberry, stay low again until it's safe to get the orange. Stay low on the
nest mine area to avoid the barrels. Eventually you'll reach the galaxian, but 
DO NOT get it if you missed something! It counts as a checkpoint so you'll want
to die and try again before you get it if you did miss something. After this the 
end of the stage is very close, just one more hard mine section. Just remember
that whenever you come to a mine section stay either to the bottom or top
to avoid them, depending on whether there are any boxes or fruit around.
Overall, if you completed the ice skating stage with 100%, this should be fairly
easy.

FINAL TOTALS: 7 cherries, 8 strawberries, 4 oranges, 4 apples, 6 melons,
133 pac dots, 8 tokens.

If you missed any tokens just go back for them now.

TIME TRIAL: This is VERY hard, I'm warning you now! Honestly if you wish to
complete this you have to practice it a lot and memorize every single part
and perform it all very well. You pretty much need to get every clock possible
and not get hit very much. The biggest problem is that you want to be torpedo
attacking for speed as much as you can, but when you torpedo attack you can't
control Pac Man very well. As a result, unless you plan your torpedo attacks
really well, you'll end up hitting tons of mines and eels. I wish I could find a 
strategy to make it easier, but really the only way through is to memorize where 
you need to be at every part and get every clock. That's really hard to put into 
words. Me walking you through the stage isn't going to help very much. If you're
serious about getting all the tokens, my advice is to practice this over and 
over. It CAN be done.


STAGE 19: SHARK ATTACK

This is just like the last stage. The first shark you see is easily avoidable,
just swim through all the pellets and when he's about to bite, move down and
then back up a litte and he always misses you. Now get low to avoid the eels in 
the narrow part. Keep following the pac dots but stay low to avoid the barrels 
in between! In the second narrow section, the eel on the left cannot be avoided
by being close to the ground, so stay low and to the right. Immediatley after 
the next pac dot chain get low and to the right in a bunch of seaweed is a 
chest. There is a token inside of it. (Thanks AENIGMA) Stay low and torpedo 
attack to zoom past the falling barrels. Soon you'll go through a ring of mines 
and you'll come to a Power Pellet. Eat this and the ghost for a token, then open 
the chest for another. The next section is a little rough to not get hit on but 
if you're at full or nearly full life you can just plow right for the fruit to 
finish off this section. Otherwise you'll have to be extremely careful to weave 
through the mines. After this you come to the first checkpoint.

TOTALS: 4 cherries, 3 strawberries, 1 orange, 43 pac dots, 4 tokens

The next section is short. Stay low near the center at first and as soon as you
get through grab the cherry in the middle of the stage. Go to the right side for
an orange. Now stay low and torpedo through the next long section. There's 
nothing to get here but killed. Go under the hanging mines of course. You'll
come to a section with fruit in the center and missiles flying right into it.
If you have decent health levels don't worry about getting hit as long as you 
grab the fruit. If you want to avoid it, swinging up for the fruit in between
attacks is the only way, and you're more likely to miss it. Stay right in 
between the double row of pac dots now to collect them. Thankfully you reach 
a checkpoint afterwards.

TOTALS: 6 cherries, 3 strawberries, 4 oranges, 65 pac dots, 4 tokens

Now hover high and toward the middle to best avoid these mines. To get the next
fruit before the mine wall without being hit, start veering left early. Pac Man
takes a while to accelerate to his full speed side to side and if you begin 
early he'll be going fast enough left to avoid the wall. Be sure to get low also
to go under the mine at the top. Now veer all the way left and open the treasure
box for a token. Watch out for missiles. Grab the health wedge if you got hit
and follow the pac dots. Stay low and only rise a little for the fruit. After
you get the second piece torpedo attack to get through before all the barrels
come down on you. Swing around to the right and back over for the box. When you
reach the intersection, go left for a treasure chest that holds a token. Stay 
low to get it without being hit. Now keep low and at the next intersection go
right for a Power Pellet. Eat the ghost for a token. Now make sure you grab all
the fruit here. As soon as you hit one piece start going over for the next; 
don't swing so far over that you miss anything. It's really difficult not to get
hit a few times here. After the 1-Up is a checkpoint.

TOTALS: 8 cherries, 5 strawberries, 5 oranges, 4 apples, 83 pac dots, 7 tokens.

Stay high to the center, grab the pac dots, and get low to the center. Go around
the line of mines but swing behind them for the melon. Don't miss the chest in 
the center of the level on the green island. It has a token. Now you'll come to 
a wall of mines. Go in the holes that have items behind them. In the middle hole
of the second wall is the galaxian. Don't get it unless you've gotten everything
in this section because it counts as a checkpoint! (Unless you're not going for
100%) After you come out, carefully swing back and forth for all the fruit and
another checkpoint. This is close to the end now, only a melon and a few more
pac dots. But don't get overly happy because the next section is hard to not get
hit on! Grab everything and make straight for the end! Good luck!

FINAL TOTALS: 10 cherries, 7 strawberries, 5 oranges, 5 apples, 3 melons,
111 pac dots, 8 tokens

TIME TRIAL: This one is just like the one on the previous stage. You need to be 
incredibly skilled at avoiding everything and know the level like the back of
your hand. Honestly, though, this is NOT a hard time trial at all compared to
the level before it. The hardest part is staying alive. If you miss a ton of
clocks on this one, you can still make it in time. Once again I am not going to
go through a detailed description of the level because I already have one above
and everything is right in front of you. Stay low for the barrel sections and 
find paths through the mines that work. If you just speed through this and get
as many clock as possible, you should get the record time.


STAGE 20: YELLOW PAC-MARINE

Basically what you do here is line up with the mines and ghost subs and shoot 
them with torpedos (Jump button). Don't shoot too much because you have a 
limited amount of missiles. The mines never have anything except 1-Ups and 
Health in them. The ghost subs often carry tokens or fruit. The problem is...
The locations of everything change every time! So I can't help you with where 
everything is. You have to keep an eye out and make sure you beat every ghost.
The pipes explode if you hit them so don't hit them! Everything goes pretty 
normally until you reach the second ghost sub section... This is very hard to 
kill them all on and still survive. There are a ton of them and it's also easy
to miss what they drop in all the commotion. GOOD luck getting everything here!
My favorite method of killing them is sitting all the way at the top, and 
shooting them after they turn around and fire. Then I swerve back into their
explosion to collect anything they may have dropped. If you make it to the sub
sections with a smart bomb, it'll help tremendously. Keep your eye out for every 
piece of fruit and keep taking out the mines for health wedges. The rest of
the level plays out the same as this section only the sections after this are 
slightly shorter. I really wish I could do checkpoint totals to help you out.
I don't think the large subs on top of the pipes ever have anything in them, but
if you find that they do, please email me and tell me. After a while you'll
get a gun power up. Hold B and do some serious damage with this! Don't get hit,
though, or it's gone!

FINAL TOTALS: 20 cherries, 2 apples, 5 oranges

TIME TRIAL: Survival will be your biggest obstacle because most of the clocks 
are in plain view and there aren't very many of them. When I did this stage,
all of the clocks appeared inside mines in the first section, and after that
I never saw another one. As long as you get as many clocks as you can in this
first section, you will win the time trial as long as you survive to the end.


STAGE 21: WHALE ON A SUB

Whew this is pretty easy compared to the pac sub stage you just did. What you do
is defeat all the ghost subs that come at you and when the big sub pops up aim 
for the engines, which look like big propellors. You can just haphazardly shoot
even and eventually you'll hit an engine. After you hurt him each time you get
a checkpoint which is unnecessary but makes it even easier. By the third form
he'll get a little harder by shooting mines AND ghost subs at you, but as long
as you keep shooting and moving out of the way of anything, you should be
alright. If you have problems with this then I don't know how you got past the
stage before this. When you win you'll get the golden banana.


STAGE 22: HAUNTED BOARDWALK

NOTE: I am missing an orange and an apple on this stage. If you happen to spot
which area I missed it in, please email me! Check your totals against mine in
each area.

Finally... Dry land! For some reason you're on rollerblades here, so you'll
go faster than you're used to. Use this to get over large gaps, of course.
Jump over the first pit and then there will be a gap on the left. You can jump
all the way over this and get the fruit just by speeding up and jumping. Wait
for the bat to fly up before you do, though. There's a bat that circles around
through the holes. Same thing goes for the next section. When you see some steel
boxes on your right in the next part, jump to the top for a token. Now jump over
the next pit for all the pac dots. You may have to jump back and forth to get
them all. There are nine. On top of the next steel boxes is an orange. Now jump
over the next pit with nine pac dots over it just like the last. Avoid the 
ghosts who throw fireball in the next section. When you get to the second ghost,
there will be a box hovering. You need to flip kick it open like you did the
boxes on the skating stage. It's hard ot hit, though. You have to be right under
it and jump when comes lower to the ground. Inside is a cherry. Now over the
next pits and you come to some more ghosts. On top of the steel boxes is a
1-Up. Keep going past the ghosts and you'll come to a pit with pac dots and
green fog shooting out of it. Wait til it goes away and collect everything.
Don't miss the box with a cherry in it over to the right right after this
pit. Hop over the next pit for a cherry and you've reached the checkpoint!

TOTALS: 4 cherries, 1 strawberry, 2 oranges, 1 apple, 2 melons, 35 pac dots,
2 tokens

Be prepared because in the next section the platforms fall underneath you.
You need to rush across and collect the fruit and tokens as fast as possible.
Look where you're jumping and veer to the side that has the stuff you need on
it. When you get to an intersection go left and collect the pac dots as fast as
you can. This might take practice to get them all so I hope you have lots of
lives. What you do is as soon as you get to the top platform with the pac dots
is jam forward and jump at the end straight forward. You might miss one, if so, 
suicide and try again. If not, good work and keep moving! At the next
intersection, go right this time. The left way is just a health wedge. The next
really hard part is getting the box on one of the upcoming platforms. 
Butt-bounce it real quick and keep moving! Go right at the next intersection for
fruit. Now it gets REAL tough... wow. The platforms below you fall FAST from now
on so you have to be at a good speed to make it across the gaps. When you make
it to the "steps" make sure to veer left and collect the fruit. Head left at the 
next intersection for fruit and then jump back over to the right for the
checkpoint! Phew.

TOTALS: 8 cherries, 4 strawberries, 4 oranges, 5 apples, 4 melons, 43 pac dots,
5 tokens

Get a running start and jump to the next section. Go around for all the dots and
then move on. Jump for a token. Run around the next area collecting everything
as well. Run down and to the left and now you have to make a long jump forward.
Jump at the last second and you'll make it. Jump right from here. No you'll
reach a section with a ghost and a steel box with a box above it. Avoid the 
ghost and jump onto the steel crate. If the ghost looks like he's about to 
shoot, jump! To open the crate above you wait til it's lowered and jump forward
a little and flip kick. There's a melon in it. The next section has another 
floating box but this one's much easier to open. Go either way and jump across
if you want the 1-Up. Now run and jump to the next area with 2 boxes and the
galaxian! Win the galaxian, collect the boxes, and hit the third checkpoint.

TOTALS: 10 cherries, 4 strawberries, 5 oranges, 5 apples, 7 melons,
117 pac dots, 6 tokens

Now for the last and probably the toughest section. The biggest problem here
is the pac dots. It's not easy to always hit them all when you jump between
the gaps. Luckily, all three gaps with pac dots occur at the first section.
If you're running low on lives do the following: If you miss a pac dot, instead
of suiciding right away keep going and head up the left ramp at the end. There
is a 1-Up there. Every time you mess up, get this 1-Up and try again. Now, when
you don't mess up, make the leap over to the left side but instead of going
up to where the one up is, on the last of the bigger platforms, jump to the
right as far as you can. You'll land on the right path and be able to take the
pac chain. After this, the next few sections are all opening boxes quickly and
moving on as fast as you can. Keep moving as fast as you can and you'll come
to the end at last.

FINAL TOTALS: 13 cherries, 4 strawberries, 6 oranges, 8 apples, 9 melons,
153 pac dots, 8 tokens.

THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION IS GIVEN TO ME BY AENIGMA:

-Cherry (in floating crate)
-Cherry (in crate) {{{ALL COLECTED}}}
-Apple (in crate)
-Melon (in crate) {{{ALL COLECTED}}}
-Apple {{{ALL COLECTED}}}

TIME TRIAL: This is a very straightforward level, just speed through it and
survive. You will have to be very good at everything here to live to the end,
but if you spent the time it takes to get 100% on the normal level, you
should have enough practice. The time trial is actually easier in some ways
because you CAN miss some things and still make it in time. Just try not to
miss too much. It's probably a good idea to aviod opening boxes, too, because
I don't think they save much time and it's treacherous.


STAGE 23: NIGHT CRAWLING

Grab the fruit in the box, run forward, butt-bounce the skeleton, grab the 
token, and flip kick the bat if you want to kill him. Up the hill is a box with
a Power Pellet inside. If you don't care about score, just eat the ghost, kill
the next spider, open the chest for a switch, eat the next two ghosts, and just 
go around and collect everything til you reach the stone wall. If you want a
high score you can eat all four ghosts in one Power Pellet by ignoring the first
pellet, grabbing one of the ones after you hit the green switch, and then eating
them all before it runs out. Note that in the dark brown muddy areas, Pac-Man
sinks a little hindering his jump. Once you've gotten everything here, don't go 
along the floating platforms yet. There is a token and a health wedge up on the 
stone wall. Now make your way down the platforms. Collect the token on the wall
below, butt-bounce the spider, and collect all the dots. Eat the ghost on the
bridges with the Power Pellet. Now you reach a checkpoint.

TOTALS: 1 orange, 1 apple, 1 melon, 63 pac dots, 3 tokens

Defeat all the enemies here and move on. Jump up the hill for the 1-Up. The next
area is a little annoying because of the bad camera angle. Go SLOW and watch for
spiders! Make sure to kill them all because some one of them holds a fruit. Run
around both sides and do not keep going until you are sure you have everything.
Up the hill is the exit and you'll come to a skeleton that you should defeat to
reveal a cherry. Kill another skeleton, grab the token, and bounce on the chest
to make a B-Doing appear. Bounce on it, kill both spiders on the cliff, and then
hit the chest and green switch to make more platforms appear behind you. Once
you bounce to the next cliff there are two skeletons. Take them out and then
you reach a checkpoint. I would total up again but there is a checkpoint on the
next cliff after the B-Doings with pac dots over them. Hit the checkpoint there.

TOTALS: 1 cherry, 1 orange, 2 apples, 1 melon, 255 pac dots, 5 tokens

You will reveal a B-Doing, but before taking it bounce down to the area below.
Kill the spider for a cherry and you'll also reveal another B-Doing in a chest.
Ignore this one as well and bounce down to the angled B-Doing. You'll notice a
cliff below you with a melon on it. Jump to it. Now bounce all the way up to the
high stone wall and carefully run along it. Look down and fall down step by step
and you'll come across a token. Now you can drop to the bottom where the health
wedge is. Ok, now this is where people get stuck a lot. Bounce back onto the 
wall and look out ahead. There is an area way across the huge gap. Get to the
highest point of the wall, and do a full powered rev roll across! It doesn't
look like you can make it, but you can! Kill the spiders and move across the
bridge. In the next area wait for the ghost to come to you and grab a Power
Pellet. Eat these two and then run back for the one on the bridge for more 
points. Each corner of the square arena has an item in it so get them all. Kill
the two skeletons and hit the checkpoint.

TOTALS: 2 cherries, 1 orange, 3 apples, 2 melons, 255 pac dots, 7 tokens

The next bat you see flying over the platforms has an apple in it! Wait on the 
platform and kill him with a well timed flip kick. Luckily you have the 
checkpoint so you can keep trying. You can ignore the second bat if you don't
want the 100 points. Keep going. There is a token on the ledge in plain view,
and you'll soon come to a large gap with a fast moving platform running back and
forth. Jump to it when it stops in front of you. Keep going past the ghost. One
of the next skeletons has a strawberry in him. It's the last piece of fruit.
Run down the bridge and kill the skeletons for points if you want.

FINAL TOTALS: 2 cherries, 1 strawberry, 1 orange, 4 apples, 2 melons,
255 pac dots, 8 tokens

TIME TRIAL: Start by opening the box. Hit the clock and run back for the "2"
clock that the fruit in the box turned into. Run up the hill and open the box
for a Power Pellet and eat the ghost. Open the next box and hit the switch.
Quickly eat one of the ghosts to keep the clock stopped and then grab the
next Power Pellet and eat the second ghost. Run along and eat the ghost on the
bridge. Now rev roll across the mud and quickly down the cliff. If you can, fall
right onto the Power Pellet so you can eat the next ghost. If you end up too far
away from it when you land, forget about it and keep moving. Keep going like
normal and when you see the "4" clock on the hill rev roll across the mud to.
You'll come to the maze area. You should be at about 30 seconds when you get
here. Rev roll up the hill at the end. Keep going through the stage like normal.
When you reach the scetion with lots of red B-Doings, skip every other one until
you start to climb up. When you reach the area where the third checkpoint would
be, hit the box and bounce straight up. Rev roll from the top of the wall to the
next area. Rev roll across the mud and bridge. The last part of this stage just
involves jumping across platforms and not getting hit by anything. When you get
to the section right before the end, rev roll if you can and fly into the goal.
The best time on this stage is not hard to get if you didn't hesistate anywhere.


STAGE 24: GHOST BAYOU

This is the last stage in the game before the last boss! Move along a little
ways and you'll be treated to a cutscene with the evil Wormwood. As you keep
going now you'll see many things on either side of you. You cannot get to these
areas yet. Just keep walking til you reach a green switch. Hit it and the pac
chain will take you down to an area with pac dots and falling boardwalk 
sections. Grab all the dots as fast as you can! At the end it looks like there's
nowhere to jump. You have to jump off to the right. It's very difficult to grab
all the pac dots and still have time to jump across. You get a 1-Up every time
though, so keep trying and you'll eventually succeed if you're patient. Now
there's another cut scene. Walk around the muddy paths collecting the pac dots
and killing the skeletons. Be careful here and take your time. No reason to fall
in the water because of carelessness. You'll come to a green switch at the end.
Hit it to reveal a pac chain over the fence and some pac dots. Make your way
back, grab the token, and take the pac chain for a chekpoint.

TOTALS: 1 cherry, 1 apple, 142 pac dots, 1 token

Jump off the side of this platform and swing back so that you grab the side.
Shimmy around to collect all the dots. Run across the net and do the same on the
next platform. Kill the next skeleton and look to your right. There is a token
on a stump. To get to it, rev roll from the top of one of the nearby sloped
posts. To get back, rev roll again back to where you were. Move along and go
right at the next fork. Go right again for a dead end with some fruit. Now jump
back and across to the boardwalk with two skeletons on it. Go right and hop
along the posts for lots of fruit. At the end is a boardwalk with six fruit. To
your left is a post with a token. A regular jump will get to it. Go back now and
run along the muddy path. Ignore the left fork, there's nothing on it. Jump
across to the pac dots. Keep going and you'll come to a checkpoint.

TOTALS: 4 cherries, 5 strawberries, 3 apples, 3 melons, 189 pac dots, 3 tokens

There is a cut scene now where the tree tells you that you have to kill all his
minions in the time limit. Just keep butt-bouncing along killing the skeletons.
You don't actually have to kill them all, just however many it says in the top
right corner. You have to move fast and don't miss with your butt-bounces.
Take the left path when you get to the fork. If you moved fast enough you should
soon have killed enough and the timer goes away. Collect all the dots and turn
around back to where the fork was. Collect the dots here and jump onto the
boardwalk. There should be a ghost in front of you. Keep moving. On your right
now there will be a stump with the galaxian on it! A simple jump will make it
over. This counts as a checkpoint, thankfully. Keep going along now to the right
where you find some skeletons. You'll come to a long line of fruit on your left. 
Take it all the way around and you'll loop around. Now go back to where the 
fruit chain started and go the other way at the fork (on your left now). There
are some more skeletons and a long line of pac dots. You'll come to a dead end.
There is no way to jump across to the other side from here. You have to turn
around and go all the way back. When you get back, the tree makes you complete
the skeleton challenge again! It's slightly easier this time; just defeat all
the skeletons in front of you and go right at the fork and defeat them here too.
That should be enough. You'll come to a checkpoint. If you want to get 
everything in this section, you have to go right first though. When you get on
the boardwalk, go right again and then left after you reach the post. (There is
nothing to the right here). Run along to either side of the muddy path and will
loop around for some fruit and a token. Now go all the way back and hit the 
checkpoint.

TOTALS: 10 cherries, 15 strawberries, 8 apples, 9 melons, 270 pac dots, 4 tokens

Now straight and you'll reach what appears to be the exit. It is not. It is a
warp to another area. Take it. Along the left side of the boardwalk you appear
on is line of pac dots. Kump down and grab the edges so you can shimmy along and
collect the dots. There are a lot of places with dots like this here. Do the 
same for all of them. Now keep going along the muddy path. On the next section
of boardwalk there is a token underneath it at the part that's broken. Shimmy
the ledge to get it. Now move along and you'll get some more dots. After you
have them all hit the switch. Some pac dots appear and the switch by the warp 
pops up. Go back to the warp and hit the switch. Go take the pac chain to a 
checkpoint. Run forward and collect all the fruit. Turn around and go back and
then left and take another fruit chain. Now continue back and go around til you
reach a boardwalk and a green switch. Hit it to unveil a pac chain and some 
dots. Now jump the chain. When you reach the end a lot more dots will appear.
Follow the all around and reach another chain. Take it and jump to a blue 
switch. Jump back to the green switch, run around the muddy paths to collect the
new dots that are there, and jump to the next blue switch. A warp appears. Run
back past the green switch again and to the warp. Another checkpoint.

TOTALS: 12 cherries, 19 strawberries, 10 apples, 11 melons, 447 pac dots, 
5 tokens

Jump down and grab the edge to collect a token floating near the water. There 
are two tokens on other sides by the wayer and a 1-Up. Now hit the green switch 
for a pac chain. Take it and run along the path collecting fruit. After the next 
pac chain, the stage is over. (Thanks to Kelli for the last 2 tokens)

FINAL TOTALS: 12 cherries, 21 strawberries, 13 apples, 13 melons, 535 pac dots,
8 tokens

TIME TRIAL: You need to cut out all the unnecessary stuff and take the quickest
path, of course. The biggest challenge you face here is survival, because the
record time here can be absolutely smashed if you go a fast route. At the place
where you need to defeat the skeletons, take the left branch. Get to the area
where the nets are after that and take the warp. Hit the switches and keep 
hitting all the switches in this area until you get to the exit. Sorry if this
seems like a barebones strategy but honestly, if you got 100% of the stuff on
this level you should be very well acquainted with it and with which parts
aren't necessary. The biggest task, like I said, is staying alive and then 
wasting no time in getting to the area where you hit lots of switches. Good 
luck!

STAGE 25: SPOOKY

Last boss! Keep moving and chase him. Watch out for the thorny plants.
Eventually he'll stop moving to perform the meteor shower move and you can jump
and flip kick him. Hit him foure times like this and his you'll reach his second
form. Not that the Neander-Pacs, spider, and skeletons that appear can be 
defeated for health wedges. His second form is just like his first. Keep moving
and avoiding the shots. Watch where he's shooting and after you dodge a few of his
shots chase him around and flip kick him. Four more hits and on to his third 
and final form. As you'd expect, this is a harder version of his last two forms.
You'll have to dodge his shots and hit him when he comes low. Kill skeletons 
quickly to regain life. Four hits and he's done.
For anyone having problems here, it seems like he always swoops low right after
he shoots a silver ball at you, usually on the third shot. Start chasing him
after he does this. Also be aware that he anticipates where you're running to 
most of the time so if you just keep running straight he'll still be able to hit
you. Good luck. After the fourth hit sit back and enjoy the ending sequence.


VIII. ARCADE GAMES

The following is a quick description of the arcade games and how they work.

PAC-MAN: 10 tokens to unlock. This is the original Pac-Man. The only controls
you use are the directional buttons. If you need me to describe how this works,
I don't think you should be playing this game in the first place. :)

PAC-ATTACK: This is a puzzle game like Tetris. Push the jump button to rotate
your block. If you get a line of the green pipe, it disappears and you get
points. When you get a Pac-Man block, drop it on ghosts and it'll eat all the
ghosts in its path. Simple enough idea, yet very tough to do well at. Have fun.

PAC-MANIA: In this version of Pac-Man, all the rules are the same except that
you can jump with the jump button. You may jump over ghosts to avoid them. The
view on this game is pretty zoomed in keeping you on your toes, and the stages
are quite large. Also note that some ghosts are faster than others, and as you
progress through the game more and more ghosts will be on each level. That jump
function doesn't come without a price!

MS PAC-MAN: 180 tokens to unlock. This is the last game you'll unlock and it's
also the one most people probably like the most out of the classic Pac-Man 
games. It's just like the original Pac-Man except the fruit moves around instead
of sitting in the middle and the maze is different.
