Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures (known in Japan as Hello! Pac-Man) is a side-scrolling adventure game developed and published by Namco for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System and Sega Genesis throughout 1994. Although the English title hints that the game is a sequel to the original arcade game, it is actually a spin-off title and a spiritual successor to the side-scrolling platformer Pac-Land. Rather than directly controlling Pac-Man, players instead control a cursor that is used both to interact with objects (using a slingshot) and to communicate with the autonomous (and moody) Pac-Man himself (often breaking the fourth wall). The game's plot involves the wacky misadventures of the titular hero, who must complete a series of tasks for his family (including fetching milk for Pac-Baby and finding a stolen guitar for Pac-Jr.) while avoiding destruction by the four ghosts (Blinky, Inky, Pinky, and Clyde) and their mysterious leader. Also hidden in the game are ports of Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, (the latter modified as "Pac-Jr." in the Genesis version, changing the player character to Pac-Jr.).
