Which was your favorite game in the trilogy?
PAC-MAN 2 is goated. Nothing about I would change I love everything about this game no matter how many times I die.
Pac-Man world 3 is my favorite. It’s the one I grew up with so I have nostalgia for the game. And I remember world 3 giving me nightmares as a kid lol. The monsters and ominous music especially. I don’t think it’s that bad like most people make it out to be.
But I can agree world 2 had more charm to the game but I hated the difficulty spikes and could never beat it as a kid.
Pac-Man voice in PW3 just sounds like one of those jolly guys that are just happy to be there, it's adorable I'll be blunt.
I feel it fits him perfectly.
@@DeevDaRabbit Same!
@@DeevDaRabbit definitely!
No matter what anyone says about Pac-Man World 3 (I think it’s the weakest game in the franchise and probably part of the reason why Pac-Man because an even more overly unpopular franchise especially because its predecessors (for home consoles) are the masterpieces people weren’t ready for), the voice acting here was so good that even though for the movie, I planned Jerry Trainor as Pac-Man (just like how I previously mentioned that most Pac-Man games aren’t as recognized nor credited as much as they should be, Nickelodeon shows (re: the ones with Jerry Trainor like the ones by Dan Schneider (mainly iCarly as Spencer) and Butch Hartman (re: Tuff Puppy, though I think Bunsen is a Beast is the worst of the worst) with a few exceptions like The Last Airbender, Rocko’s Modern Life (before Static Cling) and Invader Zim are overrated), Grace Park as Ms. Pac-Man, Michael J. Fox, Jay Sean and Mario Cantone as either one of the main members of the Ghost Gang, Angie Harmon as Pinky and etc, I wouldn’t mind a reprise of the voice acting roles of the PMW3 cast!
@@kieranstark7213 I freaking AGREE
"Yeah. All the bosses in this game are pretty easy."
Cylde in the Caldera: Am I joke to you?
My sister and I were thinking the same thing
Ngl, regardless of how samey and simplified (except for CitC and bosses 2-3 of PMW1) the bosses in PMW1&2 are, I think they are a lot of fun because like it’s predecessors, the game itself is just so full of passion, world-building, amazing graphics, master-music-pieces and adventure!
One of the most fascinating game trilogies out there .
Except for Pac-Man World 3, that one’s just jarring.
"Zephyr" is a word used to describe either a westward wind or a gentle breeze.
"Were they on a lower budget for this game or something??"
Yes. Yes they were.
Fun fact: The Pac-Pellet attack in Pac-Man World 1 can actually be charged if you hold down the button long enough. (though it uses 10 pellets instead of 1) Also, in Pac-Man World 2 & 3, Clyde and Blinky's colors are mixed up for some reason. Clyde is supposed to be orange, while Blinky is supposed to be red.
They were swapped in Pac-Man Arrangement as well.
I think this was because of a translation error, because the ghosts have completely different names in Japanese.
Zephyr is a real word. It's a literary term for a soft gentle breeze.
It’s also the first name of the little brat from the movie AniMat is gonna review with his Seal of Garbage today which just goes to show that the drop in quality of the Hunchback of Notre Dame duology (1 was by Disney Animation, but 2 was by DisneyToon, you know, just like with the Brother Bear and Fox and the Hound duologies that are also a drop in quality that isn’t as big, but still pretty big) of the Pac-Man franchise when it went from Pac-Man World 2 (2002) to Pac-Man World 1 (2004), 2 (2005) and 3!
Pac-Man World 4 IS a fan game in production.
Details?
@@isetmfriendsofire Spooky’s revenge a 2D game, Pac-Man World 4 by a friend of mine in the scripting phases
Fun fact: one of the two music composers for World 3 went on to become the sole composer for de Blob 1 & 2, which has... the exact opposite music style to this game, much more fun and energetic, and even before they made great soundtracks for the two Fairly OddParents games from the same devs, so what the heck happened here who knows.
Fun fact, PMW2 does have a wide screen option! But only on Xbox and Windows.
wtf why lol
@@coopercastille 🤷♂️
My version on the GameCube has widescreen.
@@callinater6133 in pal tho. All versions have it in pal

To be fair, Pac-Man punching was a left-over from World 2; as originally, Pac-Man was going to be having a punching mechanic, but went unused and made it's way into the third game (until Re-Pac got announced).
"I love seeing pac man wet"

Let me tell you this trilogy is the best fucking trilogy I’ve ever played, I easily say World 2 was one of the best games ever made.
Here’s some correction on when you’re talking about world 2: the Xbox version does have native 480P and wide screen. The third game may also have native 480P on Xbox but who knows.
Third game is also native 480p
It always annoyed me how they called blinky Clyde in both 2 and 3.
Soon as I saw this in my notifications immediate like and watch such a big fan of your content coop can’t wait for the Sonic revisits 👍
YES. Nothing else to say when a coop video comes out 😎
Who came back here after the announcement of the Pac Man World remake?
I did!
World 2 is just sooooo memorable and iconic to me. I first played it when I was 4 years old. That soundtrack was my childhood and Blade Mountain.....the nostalgia
Pac Man World 2 is extremely nostalgic for me. Other than it being really easy as an adult its still good and goofy fun.
Nah man that shit still kicks my ass
@@openyourbank9426 The red ghost is kinda tricky but other than that it's pretty straightforward. Classic game though and i still love it.
Let's just hope that Pac-man World Re-Pac lives up to the original Pac-Man World.
Please for the love of God say that you not knowing Zephyr is a real word is a joke.
You know Blitz developed 3 not Namco Hometek?
World 4 is where you rescue pac baby pac man's infant daughter who somehow taught herself to talk
34:00 the way Pac-Man said he needs a mint sounds like something Deadpool would say.
12:50 It was Pacs way of saying he loves ghosts.
Its funny you mention Namco possibly doing the world formula again in the future because originally back in 2009-2010 there was a PAC man world-like game in development called Pacman world 2010. There's even an animation and artwork of this game.
Didn't that just become Ghostly Adventures, for better or for worse?
@seank.cunningham3841 no the game was turned into a party game
7:36 I believe originally there was going to be a 4th level in the volcano world. You see there is an unused level called Kooky Crypt that was cut for unknown reasons. I think that's why there are only three stages in the volcano world in the final game.
Blitz games if you want a game made for a quick buck that's nothing ground-breaking but will get the job done. They did those weird ass Burger King games and a few other licenced crap.
They also somehow helped making The House of the Dead: Overkill, powered by an updated version of the engine used in World 3.
(Creature from the Krusty Krab withstanding)
This series was my childhood Ah pacman what a time to be a 90s kid so nastolgic
Nice video. I wonder whst the 4th game would've been like. The footage looked interesting.
It became Ghostly Adventures. Mostly average tie-in game, though the sequel was somewhat more interesting.
Super cool review as always, Cooper! Pac-Man World 2 is the only game I’ve beaten-I own World 3 but deleted my save file ages ago, and I don’t own World 1. Your commentary was as entertaining as ever! I’m excited to see what you’ve got planned next!
*Ghost Bayou (the giant maze level just before the final boss in World 2) can go burn in hell, I hated that level so much*
p2 emu doesn't work so i only played 1
and the 3 in ds but its boring so i need to play the p2
and also pmw2 fixed a pmw error
*horrible game over*
Still have Pac Man World on the PS1, but the disc is so scratched the intro cutscene takes twice as long to play.
Although I hoped the music and the graphics in world 3 to be better, the graphics are the worst in the GameCube version and the music feels very glitchy at a lot of times but I still think it is a good game (I do tolerate the length of this game) even if it is far from being better than the previous two games. The PS2 version of this is the best to me honestly
These games were childhood classics and even Pac-Man World Rally was a decent kart game to play!
It’s just too bad the broken Pac-Man hatedom would slam it as a “Mario Kart ripoff” when it’s actually better than even the best Mario Kart games (which would have to be the Mario Kart Arcade GP series except for Mario Kart Arcade GP DX for lacking Pac-Man characters instead of expanding upon how many there could be like in Pac-Man World Rally, though Double Dash is pretty damn fun because the title speaks for itself, but a tad overrated (because I’ve always been annoyed by how Jen Taylor and Deanna Mustard would voice Princesses Peach and Daisy compared to pretty much everyone else in the series) compared to other games by both Namco and Nintendo… partially… www.engadget.com/amp/2006-07-31-nintendo-their-own-worst-enemy.html m.th-cam.com/video/L5C63RAp8rY/w-d-xo.html www.reddit.com/r/nintendo/comments/32svcg/nintendo_worst_company_of_the_world/ m.th-cam.com/video/dOKF9t-hfEw/w-d-xo.html)
the Xbox version of World 2 has widescreen, because it released last.
also Blinky and Clyde's names were switched around in 2 and 3 due to possible communication issues between during the then staff of Namco JP and Namco US
23:03 That's not Clyde, that's Blinky
This is a constant screw-up in the series.
With the camera issues and you not having them is I think due to your copy of Pac-Man World 2 is the greatest hits copy which has changes from the original release and with the GR version they made it more like the Japanese version which made both easier especially for the Japanese way easier, so I would assume they’d fix the camera a little bit better for the GR copy that your using
Never understand why they made Blinky the first boss in Pac Man Arrangement.
Okay, so I see this has been commented but: "Zephyr" is a word that roughly means "gentle breeze." Hence the Flying type Gym Leader in Pokemon Gold/Silver giving you the Zephyr Badge. I really like the design of that level too, as well as its introductory music.
Speaking of which, try re-listening to "Spectral Vale: Action Theme 2." The one that plays when you "fight" the Spectral Fiend (little orange villain.) That theme's a bop. But I'm also just kinda partial to the Spectral Realm in general because it's the most unique area in World 3 by far with those blinking platforms and swirling fog. Too bad the plot demands it to be killed off...
Is there a reason you didn’t include World Rally? It’s apart of the series. I still love the video.
Martin T. Sherman should’ve voiced
Pac-Man in Smash Bros
I want a pac-man world 4 & a pac-man world rally 2 with patra from pac-man party as a playable character. Namco needs to get their shit together. Pac-man needs to return to the platforming genre. I've only played a little bit of pac-man world 2 before.
It’s in production by a fan
The widescreen option is only available on og xbox on all reigons. If not, then then the pal ver has every console widescreen.
Im still waiting for my Pac-Man World 4
I'm annoyed that 3 wasn't as good as I remembered, but 7 year old me had nothing better to do. Don't know how I enjoyed it after going through sonic heroes
As for PacMan World 1:
You can find the way (as I did) to cheat on the wheel after the finishing of each level & get 3 extra lifes per spin... I finished the game with more than 300 lifes, and that's also why you enjoy the mazes in the levels themselves... You risk a few of your 'infinite' lifes to complete 100% of the level.
Nostalgia...
How do you do it?
@@chesspunk489 If I remember correctly, theres only 1 pear among the fruits spinning. That's why you get 3 lifes by getting 3 straight pears... In order to do that, you should remember the two fruits BEFORE the pear (I don't remember though which ones they are specifically)... Anyways, LETS SAY there comes a lemon, then a berry, and then the pear... When you notice the lemon, you should be prepared to press the button while the berry passes, and if you train a bit and learn when the timing is correct, you will be able to get it correctly many times. Just keep the order of the fruits in mind, find the correct timing, and after training it some times it will get really easy for you to achieve it. I got at the point were I ended the game with 320+ lives after trying to see how many I can get through the spins.
23:12 "Just slightly harder" Slightly? SLIGHTLY!?
Pac-Man World would have fit the original 3DS great.
Hope we get them on the Switch with a World 4 sometime...
My version of Pac-Man world 2 DOES have wide screen and I have it on GameCube. Maybe it was only in PAL versions as I’m from europe
Zephyr doesn't NEED to be a real word, games can have made up languages...WAIT IT IS A REAL WORD! It means "A soft gentle breeze"
mans didn't bother to look it up just in case
Bruh
clyde and blinkys names are switched i think
'Pac-Man has been given an actual voice'. (Marty Ingles would like A word with you.)
You bring up Tommy Tallerico but NOT bring up Earthworm Jim?
Sweat. Glad to see you covering the Pac-Man World Series. I think the first two games are underrated thou maybe not the third one.... not a fan of that one
Could have just recorded the Xbox version of PMW2 if you wanted progressive scan.
It also has widescreen.
My favourite was pac man world cause the game is getting a remake called pac man world re pac plus pac baby and pac sis are so cute
Martin T Sherman not only voice Pac Man but he also voice Thomas the Tank Engine
Pac-Man backwards almost sounds like Namco; Namcap
Any review games for the future?
Do the pac man and the ghostly adventures games next!
F in the chat for Y button 🥺🥺
Zephyr is a real word actually
27:24 Hey, atleast the music slaps.
Fuck yeah!!!!!!
you know about ghostly adventures, right?
Yws, Pac Man World 3 was made on lower budget
7:08 idk why but it had me laughing casue its too true
can we call the Haunted World "Paclevania"?
I honestly don’t see Pac-Man World 4 happening. They could instead remaster the three games as “Pac-Man World: Pac’d Trilogy”
Yeah, when fans burn Bandai Namco down from outrage, which I’m willing to do.
Also it is in productions 2 World 4’s, one is called Spooky’s Revenge, the other is already on underway just called World 4 by a friend.
Bandai Namco won't put out a Xenosaga HD Collection I don't think they'll do a Pac Man World HD collection...but hey they remastered Tekken Tag Turnoment and .Hack//G.U. so when literally no one asked.
They won't Remaster the original .Hack games.
Hey Bandai Namco you know about supply and demand? If the two most rare games on the PS2 (.Hack Quarantine and Xenosaga III) were developed by you then maybe you should renaster them!
It somewhat almost happened though.
Fall damage? Dude, just butt bounce.
Also for your issues with landing in the volcano levels, you can cancel a rev roll mid-air to land.
And Spooky does come back in Pac-Man World Rally! Which was a big ol' Mario Kart ripoff.
9:56 DON'T PUT THAT LIKE THAT
i think pac man having a voice in world 3 is to rival the modern sonic games, who had sonic speak.
I think Pac-Man did it better. *gets shot by the (Modern) Sonic fanbase*
Waka Waka bois
I love pac man world 3
same, its a solid game with memorably good writing
only real gripe is the spectral monster sections without blinky
people complain about the combat but the sections are often over in 2 minutes or less for me so it doesnt slow much down at all
@@playboypika5003 Id consider 1 the worst, its aged the worst of all 3
I personally dont like 2, feels crummy to play today despite growing up with it, terrible ice physics, pointless extra levels, bad boss fights, and very buggy
Zephyr is a real word lol
What could've been if World 3 was created by Namco without Blitz Games interfering.
....did you even try to look up any of those words?
Dude, Pac-Man World 2 was my shit back during my Xbox/Gamecube days. 100% completion was a fucking pain though.
My thoughts exactly!
I’m game the entire franchise on one system but I’m not buying the spinoff
"I love seeing Pac-Man wet... Wait"
What's for dinner you are
