      Also on a couple of stages you can push back a cactus or tree stump to get the helmet.
      There are also a couple stages where you push back a tree stump and get invisibility for about 10 seconds.
      And returning home, push back a hydrant, cactus or tree stump for a set of ballons, one of which is a 7650. If you get the correct colored balloon for a 7650, then all remaining balloons captured are also 7650.
      And a couple stages where Pac-man is returning home you can sometimes get an 'S' for an extra Pac-man. You have to rub against the cactus as you jump with your super shoes, or rub against the cliffs with your super shoes.
      I always wanted a bonus stage or two on Pac-land where Pac-man could try out the different vehicles the monsters use.

      @La Von Hawkins Pac-Maze is great and all, but I prefer Pac-Land simply due to the obscure factor. Not many people outside of the big Pac-Man geeks know about Pac-Land, so giving it some more exposure is really cool imo. It would have been nice to have a remix of the Pac-Land theme to go along with it, though.

    Little bit of trivia: the US version of Pac-Land was modeled after the "Pac Man" cartoon at the time (which is why Chomp-Chomp the dog is in the opening screen, US Pac Man's nose is shorter than JP Pac Man, and why the Pac Family have hair/blue bow (US Baby Pac)--JP Ms. Pac Man has no hair, and JP Baby Pac is female with red bow). Also, JP Pac-Land has an ending, US Pac-Land keeps cycling through levels.

Although both versions are virtually identical to the original arcade versions, there are two minor changes that some may not notice. Ms. Pac-Man and Baby Pac-Man were both replaced by Pac-Mom and Pac-Sis. This is because of Bandai Namco's ongoing dispute with AtGames for the Ms. Pac-Man trademark

Nintendo built early Famicom cartridges with little storage space to keep costs down, so Namco probably had to cut down on graphics to help make this game fit. The Commodore 64 also had a lot more onboard RAM to work with than the Famicom (64 KB vs 2 KB), which Grandslam probably took full advantage of.

    i dont quite understand the unanimous hatred for the famicom/nes port. i think it's main problem is rly just the color which is kinda unavoidable due the the famicom's hardware as evident in a lot of namcot's other ports and a lot of famicom games at the time that are ports of similar, colorful arcade games. i think making pac man small was a good call too cause if u notice that the other 8bit ports have pac mans head big but with practically no legs and waddling around on lil feet while the famicom port has him small but still with legs like the arcade. i think the game also controls pretty great and some of the graphics are pretty nice(i like the simplicity of the houses and the blue and green hills in the bridge levels) but i also agree that they couldve made a better port especially with things they cut out like the scene of the fairy giving u the boots and removing pac man's family and the door to the fairy land -_- i think its a pretty decent port considering how early it came out and that it obviously cant compete with the pc engine port, it looks different enough and has its own lil charm. like compare it to the port of yokai dochuki on famicom and pc engine where both look similar to the arcade but because of that there's like no reason to even ever buy the famicom port if u have the pc engine since its inferior in every way since its a direct imitation of something that the pc engine can and does way better.

    1. Arcade: It's perfect as always. Pacman's face is cute, especially at the end. He has little nose and a little red hat.
    2. Arcade (Japan): Pacman's face is not that cute. He has big nose and a bit larger brownish hat.
    I prefer the non Japan version.
    3. Sharp: Very good, it's almost identical to the Arcade version except the picture is narrower and Pacman has big nose. (which I don't like, but it's not a big problem)
    4. Playstation: It's like the Sharp version, but the picture size (also the resolution?) is smaller. But, Pacman has little nose.
    5. TurboGrafix: Really good, but it's not that good like the previous versions. The background has simplier graphics. The game area is zoomed.
    6. Atari: The scroll is not really good, the enemy sprites are different, the audio is ok. Pacman sometimes smiles. It's better than the Amiga version, which is rare!
    7. Amiga: The scroll here is also not really good, (bad for an Amiga), the graphics are identical to the Atari version. The audio is not the real one, but it's ok. Pacman has only one face, which looks angry.
    8. C64: Very nice for this machine. Pacman has face expressions in the different situations. The sound could have been better.
    9. NES: It's good. One of the smoothest scroll. But, Pacman's face is always angry.
    10. NEC: Less colors would have been better. The graphics are a bit ugly this way. Pacman looks not really kind.
    11. Amstrad: No scroll. (better off without that) The sounds are not any good. The graphics are ok, a bit dark though.
    12. Atari Lynx: It has a too low resolution and because of this, the graphics are a bit ugly. I think the developers did their best though. It's not that bad, if you can stand this pixel face.. :)
    13. MSX: It's like the Spectrum version, but somehow it's better.
    14. Spectrum: Usually the worst version. But, it's not that bad game on this machine.

You don't need to mash the directional buttons most of the time since you can simply hold the correct button to maintain your current speed. That said, you'll need to mash to get up to speed or change direction as well as to glide farther off a springboard.
