🚫 Note: No emulated or unofficial versions are included in this video. Unfortunately, we were unable to obtain the iOS version (which has been removed from the App Store) and the Zeebo version. The J2ME / Java version was not included because it does not have intermissions.
Pac Mania features the original four ghosts —Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde— along with Sue from Ms. Pac-Man and the newly-introduced Commons, Funky, and Spunky. However, there's a twist: the red ghost, originally named "Blinky," is now "Clyde," while the orange ghost, originally "Clyde," is now "Blinky." Sue stays hot on Pac-Man's tail, unlike Clyde, who only does it in chase mode.
