Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, also known in Japan as Pac-World (Japanese: パックワールド Hepburn: Pakkuwārudo),[2] is a 3D platform video game based on the TV series of the same name. The console and PC versions were developed by Monkey Bar Games and the 3DS version was developed by Inti Creates. Both versions were published by Bandai Namco Entertainment.

Three golden orbs are on a table, while Sir C is explaining what they are to Pac-Man, four ghosts from the netherworld (Blinky, Inky, Pinky and Clyde) come and tell Pac-Man that Pacopolis is under attack by Betrayus, king of the netherworld.
