Cancellation[]

The game overall didn't stand out and was scraped by Namco Hometech and was rebuilt as Pac-Man World which made the Greatest Hits lineup. Although many Pac-Maniacs are sad that some features including a Frogger styled level didn't make Pac-Man World. Most fans are happy that the general story was scraped though.
