Ms. Pac-Man Advanced setting FAQ

v0.1

Hi.. This FAQ (basic) is for those who played the Advanced setting of this
game. The info here was taken from Ms. Pac-Man FAQ by Don Williams and
modified for advanced settings. If you want to know more about the game,
please read the FAQs from http://www.gamefaqs.com or you can use your favorite
search engine to find the website(s) that talk about this game.  I assume that
you know the basic knowledge for the game. Here are the advanced settings..

-In the very beginning of the game (board 1, cherry) 3 ghosts [Blinky, Pinky,
Inky] will come out immediately from the box [that's what I call it. I don't
know what the official name for this] (same as board 2, strawberry, normal
setting). In board 2 and thereafter, all ghosts come out of the box
immediately.

-Maze setting and Animation feature is the same.

I don't know if 2.5 is accurate since when you eat a energizer, it's
flashing until you hear  (at start of high pitch sound) [my guess].
I'll check on it.

* Misc. *

-Ghosts move a bit faster in the Peach and later boards (IMO).

-After board 13, no more blue time. Just going back to the opposite direction.
In board 14, you will do one final blue time (1 sec). After that, you're on
your own from now on (eating the Energizer [big dot] will force the ghost to
go to the opposite direction.

Anything else?
