Game description: Pac-Man is on a brand new adventure and once again dealing with the pesky Ghost Gang. In Pac-Man World 2, the Ghost Gang has picked the magical fruit from an ancient tree, thereby releasing wicked evils upon Pac-Land. You must guide Pac-Man through six new lands with plenty of amusing surprises. New and improved, this Pac-Man can ice skate, rollerblade, submarine dive, and solve many exciting puzzles. With all-new moves and a zany cast of characters, your Pac-Man heroics will be pushed to its limits.
The player controls Pac-Man in a 3D environment along a linear, yet three-dimensional path with the simple objective of reaching the end. The game has twenty-five levels and sixteen Galaxian mazes in six different environments. The plot involves Pac-Man finding five golden fruits that were stolen by ghosts. These fruits were vital to his town.

I was able to run through every single level from beginning to end (I even sat through the tutorial) without issue. The game seemed to run at 100% speed 100% of the time.

Trivia

• Original names: パックマンワールド2 (SLPS-25141)
• 16:9 (Widescreen) mode in the games options crops the top and bottom image, meaning less viewing area then in 4:3 mode.
