Line 3:

'''''PacMania''''' is a [[Pac-Man]]-style game developed and released by Alawar Entertainment in 1999. Later on, ''Pacmania II'' and ''III'' were released in 2002 and 2005 respectively, with the original ''PacMania'' being labelled as "Advanced" mode in those games.

Not to be confused with a game for the NES of similar name and theme.

* [[Luck-Based Mission]]: Due to mechanics changes in ''Pacmania II'' and ''III'', keys were lost entirely upon opening a door. Good luck waiting and hoping for over 3 random keys to appear if you run out in level 12 of Advanced mode.

* [[Nigh Invulnerability]]: The new boss and ghost monsters cannot be defeated using the old power pellet trick. The powerups that do kill them (skull and crossbones and bombs) are not introduced until about halfway through the game.

* [[No Plot? No Problem!]]: Just like the original ''Pac-Man]], there was no backstory besides "eat the dots and avoid the monsters."

* [[No Plot? No Problem!]]: Just like the original ''Pac-Man'', there was no backstory besides "eat the dots and avoid the monsters."

* [[Non-Indicative Name]]: The boss monster is actually fairly common, and can easily be one-shotted using a skull and crossbones or bomb powerup.

* [[Power Up Motif]]: The new powerups are no exception to this classic Pacman rule.
