Pac-Mania... on the go!
Unused Graphic
The 33rd image extracted from images.bin in the J2ME version, and the 34th image extracted from the game's scratchpad file in the i-Mode version, contains the HUD sprites for the regular fruits, as well as the life counter icon. Among these sprites is a Galaxian Flagship, which only appears as a special item; it can also be found unused in the original arcade release.
Version Differences
This needs some investigation. Discuss ideas and findings on the talk page. Specifically: The i-Mode version has sprites for a "Congratulations" screen, equivalent to what is seen in this commercial, which is not in the J2ME version. This probably appears upon completing all rounds, but verification might be necessary |
This sections covers the differences between the Pac-Mania releases for i-Mode and J2ME, which are both mobile platforms based on Java. A third mobile phone version for BREW is also known to exist, but it is not documented here.
- Both releases use different logos, with the i-Mode version being more faithful to the original Arcade release. Curiously, this logo can still be found unused in the J2ME version, being the first image extractable from images.bin.

- The i-Mode version displays the life and fruit counters immediately upon starting a level, upon respawning, and while paused, disappearing once the player is allowed movement, whereas they are present at the bottom of the screen at all times in the J2ME version.

- If the player dies in the i-Mode version, the field shifts to a sepia tone, much like the Arcade release. This does not happen in the J2ME version.
