Like Pac-Man, the goal of Pac-Mania is making a big score as much as possible. The player controls Pac-Man and tries to eat all the dots in a maze, avoiding being caught by ghosts. The player can eat power pellets that make the ghosts are blue and become vulnerable, the player can then eat these ghosts, earning extra points. In the middle of the maze, the ghosts can return to its color and its original behavior.
