Pac-Man Championship Edition 2

Pac-Man Championship 2 is the sequel to Pac-Man Championship Edition, but with ranks, and the fact that touching ghosts quickly multiple times makes them super angry.

Unused Textures#

All of the contents below are located in (and can be extracted from) resources.assets.

Early Thumbnail#

A thumbnail, much like the previews shown during Score Attack or Adventure modes. This one appears to not only be unused, but also seems to reflect the game in an earlier state of development. It is located in file SA_CS_thumbnail_00.

S+-Rank#

Graphics for an unused S+ rank exist in files RANK_icon_SS, SA_CS_rank_Splus_00, and TOP_rankIcon_Splus_00, respectively. The highest rank you can achieve is an S-Rank.

Unused Cameras#

Files cam5 and cam6 contain this placeholder image. In-game, you can only choose between cameras 1 through 5 (cam0 through cam4), but these files suggest two additional camera settings were planned.

Z#

File Z_ptcl is just the letter Z...
