    I feel like the reason Pac Land is in Smash is because it was the direct influence for Super Mario Bros. Miyamoto has said that it’s one of the most influential games for him as a designer, and he wanted to create his own take on it for the NES with Mario.
    Pretty cool honestly.

    Everyone always forgets Pac-Man Adventures In Time for the Windows 2000 man :( It even uses the World artstyle and characters. It takes what Maze Madness does and expands upon the idea of one grand adventure using solely mazes. Incredibly underrated game and definitely worth checking out.

      OMG my dude, I actually had that game as a kid! I remember that one being a good time, and it helped make me a fan of the series instead of just "that one old game". Still dunno what was up with that...thing...in the cave from the intro cutscene that was supposed to be the game's villain, though. Pac-Man's got a surprising amount of villains.
      I played Adventures in Time before I even knew about the World games, so it was cool to see that, "Oh you actually can make a full-length adventure from just mazes". I'd kinda like the series to give that format a shot again if we're not gonna get a new platformer (though I didn't expect Re-Pac, so we might get that too lol). Arrangement even proved that you can do boss fights in mazes, so why not?
      Though if we're talking obscure Pac-Man games, I'll call your "Adventures in Time" and raise you a Pac-Man All-Stars. It was a multiplayer-centric game, though there was a single-player story mode and the villain was a white-colored magician ghost named Wandy (why the heck do I remember that). Adventures in Time was the better game without question, but It seems like I'm the only one who remembers this one lol.

      I love how, no matter how much "nostalgia" was in or not, they always gave Pac-Man an arcade aesthetic. Like, being intentionally behind-the-times, no matter what decade, made the series ahead of its time in the process? That's ridiculously ironic.
      But still, I love how Pac-Man's whole old-fashioned gimmick has been a thing since even the 90's(when the series was only ~10-20 years old at that point). I'm a 2010's kid, and even I appreciate how they preserved the style no matter what(outside, you know, legal bs). Plus, simply acknowledging Pac-Man being a full-on adult that accepts his age is weirdly wholesome in a way.
      Well, outside Ghostly Adventures to an extent.

    The one issue I've heard about this remake is Pac-Man's shadow being inconsistent. The remake has the shadow based on the level's actual lighting, which is more realistic than always below him like the original, but makes platforming more difficult without that visual cue of where you will land. 20:36 shows an example, where the shadow would suggest he will land near the top of the objects, but he lands on the bottom-half.

    However, looking at it again, not only did he open up the history of side-scrolling action before Mario, and he was respected by its creator, Mr. Miyamoto, but also based on his work, Mario, to compete with him.

    Great video! Really fun and entertaining.
    also yeah, I could go on for ages about all the obscure oddities involving Ghostly Adventures specifically and some of the more under-the-surface reasons it failed. Interesting stuff, though also sad, since I feel that with a little tweaking it could have hit that nice balance of compelling story without falling into the same edgy trap that world 3 did. Unfortunately, GA just... stagnated, was too scared to really play with anything outside the show's status quo, and ultimately the last few episodes petered out with a few gimmicks before being unceremoniously cancelled. Was thinking of doing a video on it myself, actually.

    17:55 I think the reason that not all the music is remixed is because a lot of the music uses the themes from Ms. Pac-Man. So I think they can use the already made music, but they can’t arrange anything that uses Ms. Pac-Man music

    The real weird part is how Ms. Pac-Man started as an unlicensed hack of Pac-Man, then became an official part of canon, and then in a dust up over intellectual property licensing she became UN-official and erased from Namco history.

    If they'd just split the difference, kept Pac-Man with his original look but gave the ghosts their stylized look from Party, I think that would be a good way forward. His simplicity is what works for him, and giving the ghosts just a bit extra detail is a win/win.

    My Favorite Pac Man arcade game is actually Baby Pac Man, a cabinet I actually played in real life. Its a combination of Pac Man and Pinball. You play Pac Man on the top screen but theres these 2 entrances on the bottom, and if you enter them, you get to switch the game to a round of pinball. If the ball falls out, the game switches back to pac man except one of the entrances is closed.
    Yes this was an actual arcade Cabinet and it was awesome! Except for the fact that Clyde was Green for some reason. It didn't feel right for him to go from Orange to Green

    Fun little tidbit about Cosmo Gang slightly unrelated to the video itself.
    A lot of stuff from Cosmo Gang was actually referenced/reused in Dig Dug Arrangement, which released in the same collection Pac Man arrangement originated from. The most notable examples are the rolling crystal balls (complete with the same scream sound if enemies are hit with them) and the Cosmo Gang enemies and blocks appearing in the Moon level of the game.

    I know that this is kinda off topic, but I went to a local arcade dedicated to keeping older/arcade games from becoming lost media, started playing the OG pac-man and just got addicted for like an hour and a half straight. There really is something so beautiful about the simplistic design of old arcade games. There’s only a single joystick in the original pac-man but it still feels like a kind game of outsmarting the ghosts and managing to juke them to keep munching on those precious dots. Get rewarded for risky plays by an increase and score, and while it may sound stupid to some people, there’s a kind of magical feeling to reaching the top of the scoreboard and claiming your throne as the best PAC-man.
