It's just hilarious to see the more speedy characters suffering from this issue. In fact, when you finally pass the lagging opponents and hear their engines closely, it's implied that they deliberately race very, very slowly. The easier difficulties aren't much better (keep in mind that there's no mention of "further forward" or "further back" in that "rule"), where the inverse happens. Pac-Man (2nd and 1st) severely lagging behind, even taking twice the average time to complete a lap. This is very noticeable at the higher difficulty settings, where you can see characters like Blinky, Erwin and Pac-Devil (starting points at 7th, 6th, and 5th respectively, if you're not using Blinky, no extra characters are unlocked and the game is the Playstation 2 version) putting up a good challenge against you, followed by Inky and Clyde (4th and 3rd) being not as good but still can be quite a challenge, then you see characters like Pinky and Ms. Pac-Man World Rally seems to go with the rule "the further their starting points are, the dumber they are".However, to soften the Marathon Level factor, all tracks take only 1 lap to complete. Anti-Frustration Features: Rally Cup (last cup in Grand Prix mode) pits you against all available tracks in the game.Much like the fruit-locked shortcuts, said boost pad acts as an Antepiece for the entire game, as beginning with Molten Mountain, boost pads are often placed right before a hazard, allowing the players to practice the "jump boost" mechanic in Cloud Garden before trying the same in Molten Mountain and the next tracks after it. Also, during said turns, a fruit-locked door can be seen and the very first fruit switch is present, which acts as an Antepiece for the entire game, as fruit switches are often found after you find the locked shortcuts.Īnd that's not the end of it, as once you gain access to this track's shortcut, you'll make use of the very first ramp with a boost pad, though no hazards are placed between the ramp and the road after it. The turns in the second section, while also almost similar, they look more like U-turns, so racers shouldn't always rely on simple turning to get through it. The straight path features the first hazard in the entire game, so racers are expected not to always stay in dead center to avoid it. After the round U-turn, the same thing is repeated again, with the straight line path and turns, albeit with some differences. Like before, this section introduces racers to the item boxes. After said straight line through the first bridge, racers will be faced with a turn to the right and immediately to the left. When racers first begin the race, they go through a long straight line, which also includes a Pac-Dot switch, introducing them to how said switch works as well as introduction to the Pac-Dots themselves. Antepiece: The way the first track, Cloud Garden, is designed seems to scream this.Adaptational Heroism: In the Dig Dug games, Pookas are one of the main enemy types, but the Pooka that appears as a playable character in this game uses the angelic blue Guardians associated with the heroic racers like the Pac-Family.Ability Required to Proceed: The flame obstacles in Funhouse of Terror can only be safely bypassed by either holding the correct fruit or using an Invincibility Power-Up.One-Hit Kill: In battle mode, the weapons Banana Ram (direct contact) and Blueberry Blaster (long-range) completely deplete a racer's health if hit.Mappy (character represent only, PSP-exclusive). This would end up becoming the last installment in the World series of games until a remake of the first game was announced in 2022. Speaking of the latter, there are even playable characters that originated from said non- Pac-Man games/franchises. Many of the racetracks featured may include references to the past Pac-Man games, as well as other Namco works. It mixes Wacky Racing with Pac-Man elements like the presence of Pac-Dots and fruits. An Xbox release was planned but cancelled. Pac-Man World Rally is the first Pac-Man racing game outside the Ridge Racer games, released for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, Nintendo GameCube and PC. If Ridge Racer can't get enough Wacky Racing.Much like how the original Crash Bandicoot trilogy was followed by a racing game, the Pac-Man World trilogy is followed with this game.
