'''Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures''', known in Japan as {{nihongo|'''Hello! Pac-Man'''|ハロー! パックマン}}, is a side-scrolling game sequel to [[Pac-Man]] which incorporates both [[puzzle]] and [[action-adventure]] elements.  It was produced and published by Namco for the [[SNES]] and [[Sega Genesis]] systems, and was released on April 6, [[1994]] by [[Namco]].  It is based loosely on previous games in the ''Pac-Man'' series (mostly [[Pac-Land]]), and also appears to contain certain elements from the Pac-Man animated series.  However, its gameplay differs greatly from the maze games that comprise the majority of the games in the series.

In ''Pac-Man 2'', the player plays the role of an observer and assistant that follows Pac-Man as he sets out to accomplish various tasks. This feature of the game adds a [[first-person shooter]] element to the controls. Pac-Man himself walks around in a cartoon world and interacts directly with the player, as well as with objects and other characters.  The player cannot control Pac-Man directly, but instead can direct his attention in various directions, and is armed with a slingshot that can be used to strike certain objects, including Pac-Man himself.
