- Please excuse any spelling and punctuation errors I finished editing this at like 4am. Here's a video showing all the beta elements that I could find in Pac-man world 2, most of which I haven't seen anywhere else.
3:46
That’s the gamecube’s animated icon for GameCube memory cards.
Ok I find this funny because Pac-Man World 1 also used this animated icon in the memory card on the PS1
nice video, but there are some things wrong here:
- "icon" was just the save file icon for the game, it's not unused lol
- "16_ERROR3_22" was probably a sound for some sort of error screen that is commonly found in a lot of games
oh another thing, I have a discord for modding/researching several games (including the pac-man world games) if you're interested
April 12, 2021. Here there ar some rumors about TLOU being remastered.
but man, THIS is the game we need a remaster for.

Pac-Man world 2 has better story
@@baxterbunny4403 maybe world 2 can get remastered if repac does well
@@baxterbunny4403 If you were comparing it to TLOU2, then sure...
@@seank.cunningham3841 TLOU2 is a damn good game fool
The original Damage sounds like it’s saying “Error”. Ironically, it says “error” in the file name.
So how did you convert the textures from the games format to a more widely used one?
On a whim I dropped them in switch-toolbox and they worked
This video isn't good
um ok but y? it was very informative :3
These are some interesting finds. You should really send these to the cutting room floor.
Amen~!😊😉😆
Late comment.
The "pac_skull" was used later in PAC-MAN WORLD RALLY. It can be seen as part of a flag in the level Pirate Cove, as well as in the "Battle Over" screen in Last Kart Driving in multiplayer Battle mode.
The nuke powerup seems to resemble the mega butt bounce powerup from PMW3. Seems that game took some scrapped stuff from this game and put it in there, The punch being another example.
I am literally just as intrigued, played the shit out of this game as a kid. When u flashed those images at the start my jaw dropped, I’ve looked at un used content videos for sunshine for example but never thought abt this game. Amazing stuff
Hi there, just wanted to toss in a tidbit that the "swampfly" enemy is actually known as "stinger" and can be found in the FOREST2 rar file on the PS2 iso of the game. Has the texture for its face and presumably the model and animations for it. I'm going to go out on a limb and say that "swampfly" is probably for the fireflies on Ghost Island that swarm around the lanterns and torches in its levels.
Interesting, can you tell me how to extract the files from the iso?
@@Crazy_Otto Sorry for taking so long to get back, TH-cam seemingly ate the first version of this. I use a program called 'WinCDEmu' that lets you mount iso files to a virtual drive, and I'm pretty sure that got the iso file from Vimm's Lair. Once I mounted the iso, it was as simple as opening up the virtual drive and copying the files to another folder to mess with them. Lemme tell you though, there's some wacky stuff on that disc image. We're talking some placeholder testing texture assets in the Treewood Forest rar, unused bonus items, possibly more unused models besides that one enemy I mentioned and the ones you showed off in your video, just all sorts of things. Haven't really found EVERYTHING that could be there yet cause I just downloaded it to get some of the Tree Top world and Ghost Island assets, but hey, happy hunting.
@@teatime3022 Thanks, how were you able to view the .pmi files?
As someone who loved Pac-Man World 2 to death as a kid, I really enjoyed this video! I do have a couple thoughts to share about it myself.
- I get the feeling that Pac-Dot Pond was meant to be a somewhat more elaborate and expansive level than how it ended up given by all of the Frog Pond content that was left on the cutting room floor
- Seeing a lot of these unused and scrapped designs makes me wish they expanded on stuff beyond Pac-People and Ghosts, as much as I enjoyed the added lore they were given
- The "nuke" powerup reminds me a lot of the Super Stomp powerup from Pac-Man World 3, whereas it'd make him glow green and make him send out a far reaching and powerful shockwave whenever he butt bounces. It kind of adds up that might've been its intended effect given that punching was also meant to be a thing
- The blue and steel ball pookas make me think either Pooka was meant to be playable in some capacity, whether it be a level where you control him or a minigame where you and a second player can each control a pooka
Now that I see this, I kind of want to see something of a reimagining of this game that expands on some of its scrapped concepts and gives more life to this game's world, because I'd love to see more of this iteration of Pac-Land.
Pac-Man World 1 had steel variants of normal enemies that could only be defeated with the Chrome Ball, that's probably what the Steel Pooka was for. The blue one though idk
Hey there! I have the Greatest Hits release of Pac-Man World 2 on PS2, and the pictures at 9:15 are actually in the manual for that version. This is the version I had as a kid, and it was purchased new, so there's no way it's a different manual than what came with it originally. I hope this helps!
Pookblue appears in some versions of the ps2 release
It does appear on my Power Pack version of World 2
The pooka-eating plant that there’s only one of will spit pooka’s out, turning them blue in the process. They burst immediately.
I think a part of the second half of Spooky’s music is cut. There’s supposed to be a few more seconds and it ends with the PMW2 jingle. Same with the Credits.
I noticed this when I listened to the soundtrack uploaded on SoundCloud by David Logan
I played the Xbox version and never heard it, it was always looped. That’s another small lost but I guess
I don't remember that being an issue on the Gamecube version.
This Is My Favourite Game, So most of this knowledge makes me happy now.😊
But dang, all of those cut characters and enemies, Man.😟
I hope the remake of Pac-Man World does well, because it might possibly lead to the creation of Pac-Man World 4, just like how Crash Bandicoot gets a 4th game after so many years, and at the same time a remake of World 2 and 3. The stuff from the beta in World 2 might be included in the World 2 remake. It's gonna be so much better!
Why the hell do they have to add the yeti in World 2 Re-Pac that yeti is scary 0:08 as hell it still freaks me out
Surprised that someone actually cared enough to make a video on the beta content in PW2. You got a sub from me, my friend
I love these finds, and can't say much that the other comments have said, but bro you gotta slow your text boxes down a bit, I had to pause and backtrack a lot to read.
Otherwise I actually love the presentation of the text boxes looking like menus from the game
hey how you can play pac man world 2 on widescreen
the game is on PC right?
You can play it in widescreen on dolphin, don't play the pc version it's garbage.
@@Crazy_Otto hey look
this is a widescreen mod for the Pc version
just replace this exe with the original

@@Crazy_Otto the game is
Also in ps2 and game cube
@@Crazy_Otto is it worse than the ps2 version
That arcade chip-tune song was super cool. I wish the arcade would've played that. Nice to hear PMW2's main theme done that way. These were all really interesting finds. This game has a special place in my heart as my first ever video game so please if you find any more secrets, post them. Love your content!
Dude that punch was cool! It feels smooth and quick too as if it actually keeps your momentum .
Not why people diss world 3, I enjoyed it
It’s a different flavor than 2. It’s an evolution over 2 in at least one way (such as environments and the soundtrack’s more sophisticated use of leitmotifs) but also the opposite in at least one other way (platforming and bosses). Also, it suffered the most from development struggles out of all 3 games.
I absolutely appreciate it for what it does and can’t quite choose 2 over 3 or vice-versa. My ideas for a remake it deserves would be too much to ever fit in TH-cam comments.
The "icon" is used on the memory card save file for GameCube,I know that bcuz I seen it on dolphin wii system menu
Why was this in my recommendations. I haven't listened to B-Doing Woods music all week, and suddenly I get Pac-Man World 2 out of nowhere.
6:03 Screamer alert
Pac-Man world 2 is the best
3:27 how did they even go about finding this Swampfly image?
The electrocute one is so damn terrifying
Pretty cool stuff but the text boxes were way too fast. Probably gotten better in other videos so this comment is moreso for new viewers, I recommend changing the video speed to 0.5x to avoid constantly pausing the video.
I admire you Crazy Otto. You have made possible almost everything that was cut off from this game.
1:04 Namco, What The FUCK!?😨😡😆
6:00 HOLY SHIT O_O XD
7:00 That's Awesome!!😊🥰☺️
8:42 Holy Crap, I Want Those, Man!!💖💖💖💖💖
2:54 i'm not sure if you're reading comments, or if you're remaking this video, but that's the peach from the Original Pac Man World (presumably remade for the sequel), you can see the similarity if you compare it the PMW1 peach,.
at the end of e3 2001, everything was either put in a storage facility, or was given to people who worked on it. I wonder if the pmw2 demo disc was given to a developer. maybe, just maybe, it could resurface some day. or someone cold get in contact with them. I wouldn't know how though.
Btw the combat system is on gba version of the game, one time i was playing on a emulator and the flip kick in the ground resulted into pac man punching, but its basically IMPOSSIBLE for you to do it
P
great content man:)
What’s wrong with the combat system in Pac-Man World 3?
my dude, you give an good ending to my childhood, thank you
Someone needs to make a mod/hack that readds this stuff.
omg this is incredible!!!!!!
My guess as to why Pac-Man has fighting elements before being scrapped was that he would’ve had some notes taken from Mario.
this video has some deep lore
This is really interesting, this game was a massive part of my childhood, I still love it! Really good job on this video!
Mine too, kiddo
Late comment but I'm assuming gator is the digdug monster but I thought it was an gator that breathe fire unless most people have said, its a godzilla or dinosaur/dragon?
