Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures, known in Japan as Hello! Pac-Man, is a side-scrolling adventure game "sequel" to Pac-Man. Instead of being a maze game like the majority of its predecessors, Pac-Man 2 incorporates light point-and-click adventure game elements. It was produced and published by Namco for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES) and Sega Mega Drive/Genesis systems, and was released on April 6, 1994 by Namco. The game borrows its structure and certain elements from Pac-Land, and also appears to contain certain elements from the animated series, such as Pac-Man's family and a main villain commanding the ghosts. The Genesis version was not released in Japan or Europe.

Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures is a weird but charming departure for the series. Instead of mazes, it's like an interactive cartoon where you use a slingshot to help Pac-Man solve puzzles and interact with the world. The story is goofy, the characters are expressive, and there are tons of surprising animations. However, the controls can be frustrating, and the gameplay feels limited by comparison to classic Pac-Man. Still, if you're looking for a quirky and nostalgic experience, it's worth checking out.
