Below are the cheat codes, hints and help for Pac-Man World - Strategy Guide (Page 05).
Mansion Maze #3 - 111 Pac-Dots / Lemon
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X This maze would be fairly
X X X X . . . . . . . . X X X X simple due to its layout,
X X X . . X . X X . X . . X X X but you play this maze in
X O . . X X . . . . X X . . O X the dark. You get a small
X . X X X . . X X . X X X X . X window of light that
X . . . . . X X . . . . . . . X follows you, but it
X X . X . X X X . X X . X X . X extends only barely past
+ + . X . . . . . X X . X X . X one square. Ghosts are
+ + . . . X X . X X . . . X . X hard to track when
X X . X . X X . X X . X . X . X they're blue, too. You'll
X . . . . . . . . . . . . . . X likely find yourself
X . X X X X P X X . X X X X . X running into walls until
X O . . X X . . . . X X . . O X you get a feel for the
X X X . . X . X X . X . . X X X layout.

Mansion Maze #4 - 129 Pac-Dots / Cherry
(Ghostly Garden)
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X This maze has the same
X O . . X . . . . . . X . . O X layout as Mansion Maze #1
X . X . . . X X . X . . . X . X with a small change; the
X . X . @ . X . . X . @ . X . X @s are fire-breathing
X . . . . . X . X X . . . . . X statues that spin around.
X X . X X . . . . . . X X . X X You can deal with these
. . . X X X . X X . X . . . by following with its
X . X . . . . . . X . X . X . X rotation. Try not to eat
X . X . X + + X . X . . . X . X Ghosts near them, though,
X . . . X + + X . X P X . . . X because they'll keep
X X . X X . . . . . . X X . X X spinning while Pac-Man
X . . . . . X . X X . . . . . X pauses. One other bonus:
X . X . @ . X . . . . @ . X . X there are 5 Ghosts in
X . X . . . X . X X . . . X . X this maze. This means
X O . . X . . . . . . X . . O X more points, but also
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X more trouble.
Mansion Maze #5 - 109 Pac-Dots / Banana
(Creepy Catacombs)
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X This maze can really be a
X X X X . . * . . . . . X X X X pain. Just like Mansion
X X X . . X . X X . X . . X X X Maze #3, you play this in
X O . . X X . . . . X X . . # X the dark. In addition,
X . X X X . . X X . X X X X . X fire-breathing statues
X . * . . . X X . . . * . . . X have been added; these
X X . X . X X X . X X . X X . X guard the Pac-Dots marked

X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X away.
Mansion Maze #6 - 106 Pac-Dots / Galaxian
(Grave Danger)
X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X X For the final maze, this
X X X . . . . . . . . . . X X X should be harder. The big
X X O . X X . X X X . X . O X X thing with this maze is
X X . X X . . . . X . + + . X X that there are 6 Ghosts
X . . X X . X X . . . + + . . X to deal with; other than
X . X X X . X X X X . X X X . X that, it's just like

X X . X . X X X . X X X X . X X eating all 6 Ghosts, but

6. EXTRA STUFF AND SECRETS
------------------------------------------------------------
-Outtakes
At the initial menu, there are three choices: Start,
Load, and Options. A fourth choice, Outtakes, is unlocked
when you defeat Toc-Man. This choice lets you watch various
"outtakes" from the game. They're not that funny, especially
when you consider that these computer-generated characters
never had to act in front of a camera... Oh well, it's still
a bonus anyway, so enjoy.
-Gallery
In Maze Mode, you can play through the Marathon as one
of the options. After unlocking all 36 mazes, play all the
way through the Marathon. When you finish, the Marathon
option is replaced by the Gallery option. Use it to take a
look at some sketches of Pac-Man and other characters (and
a group photo of the Pac-Man design team).
-1,000,000 Points
Yes, it took me a few hours, but I finally achieved one
million points! It IS possible, but you'll need to do every
possible thing to maximize your score. When you get to
1,000,000 Points after the Weigh-In Machine, you'll hear a
sound (like when you get an extra life). When you return to
the Ghost Island screen, you'll notice you now have a
glowing Key as one of your items. This Key will open any
fruit door without using any fruit (and possibly release
any Friends you've missed; I haven't checked for this). You
can use this when returning to the levels, although it's
not very useful after you've played through the levels
enough to get 1,000,000 Points.
How do you get this many points? Well, play through the
levels and try to get all the stuff. In every Hidden Maze,
get as many Fruit as you can (especially the high-scoring
fruit) and try to eat all the Ghosts with every Power Pellet
you use. The P-A-C-M-A-N Bonus Rounds are invaluable, as
each one can easily get you more than 20,000 points.
-Free Lives in Classic Mode
This is a well-known secret. Enter Classic Mode, and
before you start a game, you can press the Select button to
increase your credits by 1 up to a maximum of 99. This also
works while you're playing, so if you're running out of
lives, refill by pressing Select.
-Another Secret?
There seems to be another secret related to the time on
your game save, perhaps if you beat the game within a
certain time limit. I'm in the process of checking this out
to see if there really is another secret, so maybe I'll have
more to write about in the next update.
------------------------------------------------------------
7. APPENDIX I: ENEMIES
------------------------------------------------------------
This section will provide a brief description of each
enemy in the game, as well as the amount of points each is
worth. The enemies are listed alphabetically. (Note: Not all
of these are official names)
Alien (Green) 400 Points
Worth 400 Points, the Green Alien is one of the hardest
enemies to destroy. It can not be bounced on or hit with
a Pac-Dot. It uses an energy shield to guard its front,
and follows you around so that its shield is facing you.
You have to maneuver quickly around it so that you can
Rev Roll into its back or side. It will even taunt you
if you're standing a certain distance away.
Alien (Purple) 200 Points
The Purple Alien rides around in a saucer-like vehicle.
At regular intervals, it will shoot electricity from its
base and spin around. This has a fairly good range, so
be cautious when it's in this state. Simply Butt Bounce
on its head at any time.
Bat 300 Points
Most Bats carry around bombs, similar to the cannonball-
toting Parrots. They'll drop these when you're nearby.
Some Bats will swoop down at you when you get close.
To destroy a Bat, just bounce on it; however, some Bats
are placed in difficult locations, so you may end up
losing a life to take the Bat out.
Bumper Car 400 Points
Another difficult enemy to destroy. You can't bounce on
them or throw Pac-Dots. You can destroy them by revving
into them and knocking them off the edge of a platform.
Beware, though, that Bumper Cars will also try to bump
you if they see you, and can often send you flying off
the platform instead. The only other way to kill these
is the Ultra Butt-Bounce. Note that some Bumper Cars in
the game seem to be confined within a small area and
never fall off the edge; I'm not sure whether these can
be destroyed or not.
Clown Pilot 200 Points
Clown Pilots fly around, usually in annoying places.
They can be destroyed with the Butt Bounce or with a
Pac-Dot.
Exploding Barrel 300 Points
These enemies disguise themselves as regular barrels,
but you can always spot them by the fuse in their tops.
When you get close, they'll start walking around. The
easiest way to finish them is by bouncing on them.
Fish 300 Points
There are only a few fish in the game, but they are
difficult to get rid of. They can only be killed by a
Pac-Dot attack underwater, which means you need a
Chrome Ball to get them. Because they swim in a circle,
you'll need to have some good aim. You usually have to
kill them quickly, because a Chrome Ball is often
needed for a chest underwater.
Ghost Varies
Ahh, the traditional Ghost. You should be familiar with
the way these enemies work. You have to eat them after
getting a Power Pellet, and will give you increasing
points for each successive Ghost with the same Power
Pellet (200, 400, 800, 1600, 2000, 3000). Avoid getting
another Power Pellet while you're still in "blue time"
from a previous one. Power Pellets in the game have a
designated area, and when you eat all the Ghosts in a
designated area, you'll be rewarded with one wedge of
health. This applies to Hidden Mazes and Maze Mode as
well. For a few Power Pellets, you'll be able to eat
some Ghosts outside the designated area as well.
Mummy 300 Points
The Mummies will come out from behind doors in the
walls. They wander around with their arms in traditional
mummy fashion. Rev Roll into these from the front or
back, or throw a Pac-Dot at them. You can't bounce onto
their pointy headgear.
Pac-Neanderthal 100 Points
One of the easiest enemies in the game. They simply walk
around, ready for you to destroy in any fashion.
Parrot 300 Points
Parrots usually carry cannonballs, ready to drop them on
you when you're underneath. Take them out as they fly
back and forth with a Butt Bounce or a Pac-Dot.
Pop Cannon 200 Points
These mousy-looking enemies will shoot a miniature
"cannonball" at you, then pull it back to ready another
shot. Butt Bounce or throw a Pac-Dot, or Rev Roll when
they're not shooting at you.
Shark 300 Points
These mechanical Sharks will swim back and forth
chomping at the water, and if you get hit, it's your own
fault. You can swim above, below, or beside them to
avoid getting bitten. When you have a Chrome Ball, you
can Butt Bounce on them to get rid of them. You may need
to do it quickly, as with the Fish, because Chrome Balls
are often needed for some other purpose. In addition, a
few Sharks are placed in tough-to-reach locations.
Skeleton (Pirate) 100 Points
These are the basic enemy in the Pirate Area. They walk
around and will try to slash you with their swords, but
they're easily taken out by a Butt-Bounce, Rev Roll, or
Pac-Dot.
Skeleton (Torch) 200 Points
These are just like the Pirate Skeletons, except they
wield torches instead of swords. When they spot you,
they'll blow at their torches and send fire in your
direction; destroy them before you get burnt.
Sparker 300 Points
Sparkers are mechanical enemies that hop or walk around.
The spark at their ends is what hurts you; Butt Bounce
or Rev Roll, depending on where the spark is (it can be
on their top or pointing out).
Spider 200 Points
Spiders skitter around, usually in circles. Squash them
with a Butt Bounce.
Spider (Ceiling) 200 Points
These spiders hang from the ceiling. When you walk
beneath them, they'll drop down and act like a regular
Spider. You may need to lure some by standing beneath
them longer than usual.
Tombstone 300 Points
Tombstones are normally sitting on the ground. When they
see you, they'll stand up and run across whatever ledge
or platform they're on. After a certain distance,
they'll fall face first onto the floor. While they're
lying down like this, use a Butt Bounce to break them
into pieces.
