[Review] Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures 2 (3DS)

This puck has legs after all.

After Inti Creates phoned it in for the first 3DS companion game, Monkey Bar Games handled all versions of the sequel themselves. The result is a 3DS port with (I think) feature parity on the console version, albeit with graphical compromises and fewer enemies populating the levels. PMatGA2 is a pretty simple 3D platformer from a fixed perspective, with the occasional rail shooter/vehicle section/2D zone to mix things up, but the key difference from the first game on 3DS is that this actually feels good to play.

Pac is quick on his feet, has a double jump, and can chomp ghosts in rapid succession, so the action feels snappy. The transformations can slow things down at times but no one section really lasts long enough that it drags. This time, Pac's forms are given to you when necessary and he can only use one at a time, so levels are more often built around their abilities. You're usually jumping between platforming setpieces and mini-combat arenas where a bunch of ghosts spawn in, although these can often just be skipped if you would rather keep moving.

The forms include the returning fire (now with a cool gliding ability), ice, magnet, and chameleon, as well as the more limited rock ball, now joined by the rubber ball form. Also advertised are Pac-Zilla and Pac Kong but these are only used contextually for brief boss fights. The Pac-Zilla fight feels like the stilted Giant Battles in certain Mario & Luigi games, whereas the Kong one is a more engaging beat-down with a T-Rex. Some levels have you do a decent if basic rail shooter sequence, which is where Pac's off-the-rack friends get to have a playable appearance.

The gameplay doesn't change too much from world to world—from the city to an Atlantis take to space to prehistory to the underworld—but each one at least looks distinctive. The story has a little more focus than the perfunctory plot in Inti's effort; there's voice acting here along with interstitial cutscenes. From what I can tell there's a lot of rehashing stuff from the show, but the turncoat ghosts, who I consider to be the most interesting characters, don't have much of a role, sadly. I did learn from in-game bios that Pinky and Cyli, basically the only two female characters in the main cast, have a jealousy subplot over Pac's affections. So that sucks! Makes me all the more glad that the show was cancelled and this new standard for the Pac-Man series has been left in the dust.

I don't have too much more to say on this one. It's never very challenging which is just fine; in fact the game extravagantly throws extra lives at you, such that I was at the max of 99 in world 2 and never dipped below 95. It's just an easy, breezy 3D platformer which is a nice thing to have on a portable in particular. I would like to take this opportunity to have one final dig at the design of Pac himself, which is just so ugly, especially when he makes any kind of facial expression that's not the classic "wide open eyes and mouth". Rest in pieces, Ghostly Adventures.

I built crazy upper body strength doing monkey bars in my teen years (hugee trapezius and back muscles)i was so good at it random grown men would come up to me and challenge me lol i ofc won every single time😌. My point is you should get a pull up bar its gonna do wonders for you upper arms and shoulders

oh wow i was terrible awful henious horrendous at the monkey bars 😔 no strength in my hands back then never mind my arms. but!! i do have a pull-up bar thing that slots onto the doorframe now. i always feel like i can do a pull up but i really really can’t lmao. apparently just hanging there is… something though 🤔 so i do have hanging time every day but also i’m pretty sure building muscle isn’t just a matter of putting those guys in situations. sadly

[nuntialaetificant]

Now that I've slept on it some more I feel like I can be more coherent then just screaming in the tags. I shall now incoherently scream into the void. I'm basically talking to mhaelf and allowing other to look. I feel the need to state the obvious and express how important I think the underlying message is in Youn's variant of Al-Haitham. This Al-Haitham does something all of us should aspire to also do: He takes care of himself.

And its fucking increadible. What he does is simple, but simple doesn't mean easy, but that doesn't mean it doesn't become easier. Just like drawing, or sculpting or playing music, taking care of yourself is a skill that you need to always be working on until it becomes second nature.

Al-Haitham has something many of us desperately need and that is self respect and genuine self care. As in, he cares about himself and takes care of himself as best he can. This means he feeds himself good food, he gives himself plenty of exercise, he gives himself mental enrichment and he puts himself to bed on time. He feeds, he plays and he rests.

In the theme of muscle building/building your body so it looks how you want it to be, you will need to do 3 simple but for most of us very hard things:

1. Eat well. When it comes to muscle building this is not simply a matter of calories in and calories out. Instead one needs to focus on cutting out simple carbs and replacing them with complex carbs as well, combined with consuming plenty of protein. The complex carbs breakdown slowely, making it so you feel full for longer while proviidng you with a steady supply of glucose that can be used for energy. Proteins on the other hand aid your body with building muscles by repairing the muscle fibers after exercising.

2. Exercise frequently. While for body "building" or sculpting most people imagine going to the gym would be the only form of exercise one can engage in this is fundamentally untrue. With exercise I also mean play. Exercising is a form of play and its both mentally and physically stimulating. You build muscle by overloading the muscles you already have, which then repair themselves when you are at rest. This brings us to

3. Sleep well. Seriously, sleep. You need to sleep. You need sleep. You're not building muscles unless you're sleeping so sleep damn it. You need to sleep at least 7 hours but preferably 9. That said the quality of your sleep is equally if not more important. Luckily enough a good feeding pattern and plenty of exercise helps with increasing sleep quality.

All these factors combined create a positive, self reinforcing cycle that will increase your quality of life in general. Eating better will eventually make you feel good. Exercising more will make you eventually feel good. Sleeping well will make you eventually feel good. Eventually being the keyword here because gettingnyour body to adjust to these habits if they're not already ingrained is so, so hard. But depending on how you feed and exercise, you will be able to craft your body into your desired image. This requires a realistic understanding of your limitations as well as a drive and desire to commit to these things. Succeeding in this however will significantly increase ones quality of life.

None of these things come for free, but they are not impossible. If you strive for it you can most definately make it. Do know that these points are increadibly simplified to their bare basics but I'm not gonna ramble on about the technicalities and studies for why these things work the way they do.

Youn's Al-Haitham is a darling but also inspirational. He has grit, determination and drive. Once again he genuinely cares about himself and is grounded. These are basically the things he embodies, to me, as a character and I hope that I'm reading that characterization right XD.

I hope that you too, whomever you are who is reading this, will also find the grit, determination and dedication to better your life. To build yourself up in whatever way you want. Customize your irl avatar however you deem fit. Take care of yourself. K gonna stop rambling now bye

and he did

My best friend growing up was a matter of convenience over compatibility. The boy across the street was only a year older than me. We had some common interests but our personality types were a terrible clash. I remember fighting with him just as vividly as any peaceful activity.

We were stuck in the same boat though. There was no other kids to socialize with except our odious older brothers, and being together was slightly less wretched than being alone. Most of the time. Our parents joked that we were like an old married couple, always fighting. We’re both gay now.

His family was better off so he brought more toys and video games to the friendship table. My family had more land so we had animals to play with and secret forest clubhouses. We hung out most days but he refused to acknowledge me at school for the sin of being both a year younger and a girl.

He was a terribly sore loser though. When playing fighting games he’d win four out of five rounds but if I won the fifth he’d turn the console off before letting my character do a victory dance. I was fairly prosaic about this. He liked to play them and I went along. When I won I got to suggest other activities.

Now, I mentioned we both had older brothers. His older brother was only three years above him. They scuffled in a normal sibling manner but the older brother was cognizant that he was bigger and stronger and these fights were more what I would characterize as fencing. There was rules and treaties in place.

My older brother was five years older than me. When we fought it was a no holds barred pit fight. I went absolutely feral. Significantly younger and weaker I unleashed my greatest weapon which was absolute berserker tactics. I bit, scratched, went for the balls, I was a menace. I paid no heed to any injury done to me if it let me land another strike. Most of our fights ended in a stalemate of me pinned or him bleeding too profusely to continue harassing me.

I never considered that I was getting more fighting experience than my friend. When scuffles broke out between us without a controller in hand I won every time. He’d jokingly smack me and we’d go down in a ball of flying hair and monkey screeches, but I always ended on top.

The trouble was, I found, that afterward he was no fun at all. His fragile childhood masculinity couldn’t take these defeats from someone younger and more female than him and he’d always sulk home afterward. I didn’t care for that, especially because fighting him was much more fun than my horrible brother.

Then one day I found the secret. I’d whapped him far too hard upside the head and he began to cry immediately. Full of guilt I whimpered that he’d really hurt my knee. He stopped crying. He hurt my knee? Then we were even! He’d hurt me just as badly and therefore the fight was a draw.

I was delighted by this logic. Every fight thereafter I saw no shame in playing up some injury he’d dealt me retroactively. I had no pride to lose and shamelessly acted beaten to avoid hurting his feelings. Our fights were milder as a result, and we both went away feeling elated by the childhood violence rather than defeated.

We just finished building a playground and our social media person referred to it as 'inclusive.'

People are mad because it doesn't fit their definition of accessibility.

They don't see anything about it that is wheelchair accessible.

While I agree that we could always be doing more, parks and rec has a tight budget. Wheelchair swings are quite expensive.

The point of the installation was to improve upon the one that was built in the 90s, which had the classic favorites: monkey bars, tube slides, seesaw.

New equipment now has some sensory toys that are sound based, a scavenger hunt game, a 'talking board' (board with pictures so non English speakers can communicate with new friends), a slide wide enough for adults to slide down with their child, and some activities that are closer to the ground. There is more built-in shade, more benches, and more room for wheelchairs to maneuver.

But most importantly-

The old playground was in a depressed area and laid with wood chips. The new unit is flat and even and set on molded rubber matting. You wouldn't notice these things unless you did a side by side comparison of the two.

It's very difficult to have a playground that is inclusive for all people, but this was a huge step forward in terms of accessible play.

But we don't have a wheelchair swing. People only know the wheelchair swing. Would I like a wheelchair swing? Absolutely. But failing that, we at least tried. And trying counts!
