[edit] Gameplay

Pac-Man World 2 is primarily a platformer, but also has several different gameplay elements added for variety. Throughout the game you can gather "tokens", which unlock old maze Pac-Man incarnations. The games that can be unlocked, with the number of tokens needed, are as follows:

One can also play a Jukeboox in the arcade for 60 tokens.

[edit] Basic Gameplay

The player controls Pac-Man in a 3-D environment along a linear path with the simple object of reaching the end. You sometimes must fight and defeat enemies in order to progress. At the end of each area is a boss. The boss is usually just a ghost in a giant machine (the first one was a frog with first a wooden then a metal tongue!) excluding the final boss who you fight in a place that is supposed to be the tree in which he was locked up in. In addition there are many things to collect in this game including cherries, strawberries, apples, melons, oranges, the traditional dots, and, as mentioned above, tokens. All of these items come from previous Pac-Man games. Not all stages contain all of the collectible items, nor do they contain the same number of each.
