"Hi Folks. Another FAQ from me, and yet again it’s a Master System game. This
Time its PAC-MANIA. I decided to write for this, as there are no FAQs for it on
GameFAQs, and It’s a game based on the legendary Pac-man, the hero that is the
face of retro gaming, (unless you count the white blocks from pong). Anyway
I hope you find this FAQ easy to use, and let’s get on with it." - Rob lane

=3.1 The aim=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=

The aim of the game is really to eat all the pellets on the level and avoid
the little ghosts. Unless you have eaten a BIG pellet / To score as many points
as possible before you run out of lives.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=3.2 Controls =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Pac man will automatically move in the direction that he is facing and will not
stop unless he hits a wall.

To change his direction use the d-pad (up, down, left, right in regards to the
Screen and not the way your character is facing. E.g. Left is the left side of
the screen and not Pac-man's left,)

Press Button A or B to Jump. This is useful when cornered by ghosts.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=3.3 How to play=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Move Pac-man throughout the stages collecting all of the PELLETS, and not
letting him collide with any GHOSTS unless he has eaten a BIG PELLET.
Pac-Man will move constantly in the direction selected, until he hits a WALL.
Rack up POINTS by getting BIG PELLETS, and eating the GHOSTS. When all PELLETS
are eaten on the stage, you will advance to the next.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=3.4 The Characters =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Pac-Man...........The character you play. He is Yellow and circle shaped
Red Ghost.........He is slow but will be triggered faster in further stages.
Pink Ghost........He is fast, and will try to confront Pac-man
Orange Ghost......Usually follows Blue ghost won't confront Pac-man that often.
Purple Ghost......He chases Pac-Man if he gets in view. He isn't that fast.
                 Usually seen with green Ghosts.
Green Ghost.......He can jump, but not as high as Pac-man.
Gray Ghost........He can jump as high as Pac-man.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=3.4 History=
=-=-=-=-=-=-=

Pac-Man was made by Toru Iwatani, who got the idea of him while he was eating
pizza (as you do) and he removed a slice. He was called Puck-man, (since he was
like an Ice hockey puck), But Kids (as they do) changed the P in Puck to an F
to make a expletive that I cannot include in this FAQ.

=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
=3.5 The Menu =
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

After Pac-man has marched the Sega logo off the screen and the strange, Title
screen with Pac-man and shocked ghosts, has appeared you will be fasted with
a menu screen / Level select screen

There screen looks like this:-

+---------+ ROUND 1
|         | BLOCK TOWN
|         |  [EASY]
+---------+ NO BONUS

               +---------+

The default/highlighted level is the first level. To change levels use the
directional buttons. Use button A to select.

This stage, Being the first, is not very hard, It is quite simple and the
ghosts don't really chase you and are quite slow. There isn't anything to
watch out for in the level, It really is straight forward.

********************************

This stage is bigger than the first stage, but don’t let that put you off,
There are more ghosts on the level, to avoid them use the gaps in the edges of
the screen to appear on the other sides, and remember to jump. It is best to
clear the areas around the bottom, and center first, and then eat a big pellet
to clear the center parts and top, as that is where the ghosts tend to move,
unless they spot you. The ghosts chase you a bit more if they see you.
The best way to avoid this is so simply jump, REMEMBER you can jump the length
of three ghosts, and non of the ghosts on this level can jump.

********************************

This stage has the same layout as the previous level, except that the colors
have changed and there is 1 less red ghost and an extra purple ghost.
This is a little harder because the green ghosts chase you and work together
to come from both sides, If they see you they will  follow you, but they cannot
keep up with you. The purple ghosts also follow you, They are faster than the
green ghosts, but still not as fast as Pac-man. However they are tricky because
they try to corner you, and cut you off, Not panicking and jumping over the
ghosts is the key to beating this stage.

=Stage 4= SANDBOX LAND [HARD]

These are the stages where the ghosts can start to jump.

********************************* .

The layout of this level is shaped like a cross, and its design is Ice and
water. This stage is Hard, as it is the first stage to include JUMPING ghosts,
but there is only 1 on this stage and it is green. It cannot jump as high as
Pac-man. The purple ghosts on this level can run faster than Pac-man. The key
to beating this level, it to use the 3 holes in the side of the screen to move
around the level, as the ghosts do occupy a lot of the stage. Don't let this
worry you. Remember you can jump higher than the other ghosts on this stage.
Also use the Power pellets to make the ghosts retreat back to there generating
spot. This will buy you time to collect all of the pellets.

Again this has the same layout as the previous stage, The cross shaped Map.
The however the colors of changed to a red, and grey design instead of the blue
and light-blue of the previous level, also the monsters have changed in this
level (see above). The Purple monsters can out run you, and the green ones, are
pretty fast. Both Green ghosts can jump. To complete this stage, apply the same
strategy as you did for the previous stage.

****************************

This level is blue, on a black background, looking like the platforms are
floating in the air, but don't worry. you can't fall off. This stage is hard
because you can not go off the sides of the screen, like previous levels, and
there are 2 Green ghosts that can jump. Also the map, looks bigger but the
ghosts can cover more of it, and because the paths are narrow, it is hard to
avoid confrontation with them. Instead you WILL have to jump.

TIP: You can jump round corners, and the length of 3 ghosts.

start the stage by clearing the area at the bottom of the screen, where Pac-man
starts, as there will be no ghosts here to start with, but don't get the Big
pellets yet, get them when you have cleared the bottom section, as they will
help you get through the middle section. After you have cleared the middle
section, clear the top section, the same way as you did the bottom section.
Then use the big pellets to clear the middle section. On this stage, The big
pellets power, doesn't last that long. In the middle section the ghosts will
follow a path, 3 on each square, they are labelled on the map. The left route
has 2 red and 1 green. The right route has 1 Red 1 green and 1 purple

****************************

This level is very similar to the last level, except for colour, which is now
red, and the route in which the ghosts travel. There are now 3 sets instead of
the 2 of the previous level, as you can see from the map. The left group has 2
red ghosts and 1 purple, the middle group has 2 green ghosts and the right
group has 1 red ghost, (easy group). They all have gaps in there rotations that
will enable Pac-man to slot between (kind of like big revolving doors).

To beat this level take the same approach as the previous level, clear the
bottom section first, then the top section, and then the middle section

=-=-=-=-=-=
=That’s it= - almost
=-=-=-=-=-=

That's all the different stages there are, but once you have done those you go
back to harder versions of the original level. Each level changes something,
E.g. Colour, Speed of ghosts, Speed of Pac-man, how long the Big pellets last
for and the points you get for collecting items


For E.g.

=-=-=-=-=
=stage 8=
=-=-=-=-=

Block world- is now Red and not blue, and the ghosts are:-

Red ghosts...........x4
Green 'jump' ghosts..x2 - can now jump as high as Pac-man


=-=-=-=-=
=stage 9=
=-=-=-=-=

Block world is now Green and the ghosts are :-

Red ghosts...........x1
Green 'jump' ghosts..x2
Purple ghosts........x3 - can travel faster than Pac-man

Pac-Man travels slow

=-=-=-=-=
=stage10=
=-=-=-=-=

Block world is now Purple and Red and the ghosts are :-

Red ghosts...........x2
Green 'jump' ghosts..x3
Purple ghosts........x1

Pac-Man travels VERY fast.

And that's it, The levels just keep going and going. The same maps. but in lots
of different colours, with lots of different type ghosts and different speeds.

The only way to truly beat it is to get a score high enough that the amount
of numbers don't fit on to the screen i guess, or until every possible
variation of each level has been done. either way you'll have fun playing!

6. HINTS & TIPS
*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*-+*


1) Clear the pellets on top of the stage first as not all of the ghosts will
  come out at the start, thus you will briefly ghost free.

2) Big pellets won't last long on later levels so use those to repel ghosts as
  you clear the level.

3) Big Pellets last longer on the first couple of stages so try to get 3 or 4
  ghosts near there. Once they are there. You can eat all of the ghosts on the
  level, this will add to your points

4) When a ghost is chasing you, a good way beet him is to turn to face him and
  jump over the ghost. Jumping is valuable. You can jump at least 3 ghosts
  lengths.
