{{nihongo|'''Hello! Pac-Man'''|ハロー! パックマン}} was originally released in Japan and later localized as '''Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures'''. It 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.


'''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.

Pac-Man's mood varies throughout the game, usually in response to his environment or the player's actions, and generally his mood affects his actions and his willingness to cooperate with the player; the varieties of "bad" moods can at times compromise the player's ability to progress. There are a few instances, however, where Pac-Man is required to be angry. Hitting objects with the slingshot can often get Pac-Man to look at that object and piece together parts of the puzzle he is currently trying to solve.

Throughout the game, Pac-Man is occasionally harassed by three of the four ghosts from the classic ''Pac-Man'' games. When this happens, Pac-Man is paralyzed by fear and eventually faints, unless the player gives him a power pellet. Then Pac-Man becomes Super Pac-Man for a brief time and flies around, eating the ghosts. In some cases, the ghosts may leave behind important objects.
