Each level features a specific number of fruit types, which earn players points and contribute to an overall completion percentage. Players begin the game in Pac-Village, which offers a number of dots to munch, fruit to gulp, and tokens to collect, setting the stage for the rest of the adventure. Thus begins a quest to regain the golden fruit across six multi-staged areas: Forest, Tree Tops, Snow Mountain, Lava, Ocean, and Ghost Island. This awakened a dark creature named Spooky, who orders the ghosts to hide the fruit throughout the land. While clumsily making their way through Pac-Land, the four ghosts inadvertently plucked magical golden fruit from a tree in the center of Pac-Village. This sequel to Pac-Man World has the circular yellow star running and jumping through a 3D world instead of the side-scrolling stages found in the original.
