All of the trophies are centered around the stamps. The focus of this guide is to getting you through achieving the "Master" stamp in each game, then cleaning up whatever stamps happen to remain.

With that said....onto the games.








Pac Man Stamps:

Pac Man Master: Earn 200,000 Points.

You will earn the following stamps on your way to earning this stamp (Unmissable):
Pac Man Master (Earn 200,000 points)
30th Anniversary (Earn 100,000 points)
Beginner’s Graduation (Watch any intermission)
Coffee Break (Watch All Intermissions)
Dot Eater (Eat 1000 Dots)

You should also be able to earn the following two stamps, though this is dependent on your performance on the individual boards while trying to earn 200k:
Tropical (Eat all types of fruit targets)
Ghost Eater (Eat 100 Ghosts)

Don’t fuss if you miss either of the last two: You’ll earn Ghost Eater anyway in a second, and you can use level select to go back and replay any board to eat any fruit you missed.

First, press to bring up the options. Turn level select on, and increase the number of lives to 5. As with all games, your score won't register on the leaderboards, but you'll still earn all stamps and their associated trophies.

Clear the first 21 boards in any way you see fit. Use level select to pick up where you left off if you lose all your lives. Starting on board 21, follow this pattern for 16 boards:


Do Not Stop Moving, even if it looks like a ghost will eat you. Any deviation from the pattern will cause the ghosts to behave erratically and likely cost you a life. It will take a few rounds of practice to get the pattern down, but memorizing the pattern is easier than it looks at first glance.

You can try using the multiple patterns out there to get you through the first 20 levels if you'd like, but (a) I don't think you'll get enough points to get 200,000 anyway, and (b) memorizing one pattern is easier than memorizing the half-dozen patterns needed to get through the first 20 boards.

By the time you're about halfway through the 16th board, you should be at 200,000. Kill off the rest of your lives (or finish the game if you'd like). Do NOT just exit out of the game. If you do not see "Game Progress Saved" at the end of your game, it does not count.

By this point, you should only have one stamp remaining:
1,600 Point Mania

Simply load up the first board (Cherry), and eat all four ghosts on a single run. The energizers last quite a while, so this shouldn’t be too much of a problem. You have four energizers, so you can do this as many as 4 times per board, depending on how good you are. When you run out of energizers, do not just quit the game or it will not count. Kill yourself by repeatedly running into ghosts, reload the board, and repeat until you’ve chomped 4 ghosts per energizer 100 times. If you haven’t already earned Ghost Eater, you’ll obviously have earned it by the time you’re done with this step. At this point, you’ll have all 8 Pac Man stamps, and it’s time to move onto the next game.

Pac Mania Stamps:

Master: Earn 200,000 Points

This is very, very straight-forward, as you’re clearing two boards at most.
You will earn the following stamps on your way to earning this stamp (Unmissable):

PRESS Z TO JUMP

Beginner’s Graduation: Earn 50,000 Points
Intermediate: Earn 70,000 Points
30th Anniversary: Earn 100,000 Points
Advanced: Earn 150,000 Points
Master: Earn 200,000 Points


Use S to turn on world select, drop the difficulty, and max out your lives. Select the "Hard" one, which will earn you 150,000 for completing the board, which isn't that difficult. Even with conservative play, you should be able to score another 20-30k while completing the board, and you should be able to clean up the remaining points needed on the next level without much trouble.

If you happen to get a pink energizer as your special item, go for it. It makes every ghost beyond the 2nd worth 7650 until you die, making an already easy game even easier.

The next step will be earning the other three stamps:

Maniac (Play for 1 hour)
Pac-Maniac (Play for 2 hours)
Super Pac-Maniac (Play for 3 hours)


Self-explanatory. Play for 3 hours. Whatever settings you want, whatever difficulty you want. Just play for 3 hours.

Pac Man Battle Royale Stamps:

Master: Earn 100 Victories.

You will earn the following stamps on your way to earning this stamp (Unmissable):

Beginners Graduation (Earn 3 Victories)
30th Anniversary (Earn 30 Victories)
Master (Earn 100 Victories)


You should also be able to earn these stamps as well. While they’re technically missable, you almost have to go out of your way to not earn them:

Ghost eater (Eat 100 Ghosts)
Pac Man Hunter (Eat Pac Man 10 times)
Super Pac Man Hunter (Eat Pac Man 100 times)
Tropical (Eat 100 Fruits)
Super Ball (Send Pac Man Flying 100 Times)


This is another very simple game where your biggest challenge will be boredom. You should use a second controller since this is a 2-4 player game, but you can vs the computer. Press and set the number of rounds down to 3. Each game will consist of 3 rounds and you need to play 100 games, which means you’ll be going through 300 rounds. During that time, just make sure to:

Eat 100 ghosts after eating a power pill
Eat Pac Man 100 times after eating a power pill
Eat 100 fruits that will appear on the boards.
Bump into Pac Man and send him bouncing into a ghost 100 times. If the 2nd Pac Man doesn’t bump into a ghost, it doesn’t count.


That’s pretty much it. The ghost move *very* slowly and should pose absolutely no threat to you at all.

Pac Man Arrangement

Master: Earn 500,000 Points

You will earn the following stamps on your way to earning this stamp (Unmissable):

Beginner’s Graduation (Watch Coffee Break)
Coffee Break (Watch all Types of Coffee Breaks)
Dot Eater (Eat 1000 Pac Dots)
30th Anniversary (Earn 300,000 Points)
Master (Earn 500,000 Points)

You should be aiming for earning the following as well, and will most likely get them while going for 500k:

Ghost Eater (Eat 100 Ghosts) -- If you don’t eat enough to get this one, it’s very likely you won’t hit 500k by the end of the game. Possible, but unlikely.
Tropical (Eat all types of Fruit Targets)


This is another easy one. As usual, use to set your options by lowering the difficulty and maxing out your lives. Round select will be irrelevant, as this game is very easy. The energizers last forever. Just go through each board and be as aggressive as possible munching on ghosts. At the end of every section of boards, there's a boss ghost you have to fight. Eating an energizer will break the ghosts into smaller ghosts that can be munched, and each ghost beyond the 3rd are worth 1600 each. Eat as many of the ghosts on one energizer as you can to max out your score.

You earn lives every 20,000 points, so just suicide run your way through the bosses. And ignore the gimmicks associated with each world...most of them are useless. By the time you end the game, you'll have earned well over the 500,000 points needed for the master stamp if you've been even moderately aggressive.

The only stamp that should remain is

1,600 Point Mania (Earn 1,600 points from eating ghosts 100 times). (Obviously, if you somehow haven’t earned Ghost Eater yet, you’ll earn it here.)


Unlike most other Pac Man games, the boss ghosts count for this and stack. So on one energizer, if you eat 7 ghosts, you'll earn 200, 400, 800, and 4X1600. Those 4 ghosts count towards the 100. Select a boss world and just keep eating ghosts until you earn the stamp. You should only have to do this a couple of times, especially if you were aggressive during your 500k run.

Pac Man Championship Edition.

This version of Pac Man is a bit of a different beast. The maze constantly morphs. The longer you survive, the faster Pac Man and the ghosts move. The more power pills and ghosts you eat, the faster everything speeds up. Dots increase in value from the normal 10 to 50 points per dot, depending on how long you survive. When you die, everything slows down *slightly*, and the dots reset to 10 points each again.

Master: Earn 500,000 Points

You will earn the following stamps on your way to earning this stamp (Unmissable):

Beginner’s Graduation (Earn 100,000 Points)
30th Anniversary (Earn 300,000 Points)
Master (Earn 500,000 Points)
Ghost Eater (Eat 100 Ghosts)
Sparks (Shoot Sparks for 1 second)


The following stamps are *technically* missable, but the chances of actually missing them are very small.

3200 Point Mania (Earn 3200 points from eating ghosts 10 times)
8 Ghost Combo (Eat 8 ghosts in a row)
Pac Man CE Champ (Play until Championship Mode is finished)


I found that Extra Mode 2 was the easiest maze to score the 500k on (I did it on my 2nd shot). The speed starts off slowly, but everything gets much faster very quickly....the more ghosts you chomp, the faster you and they all get, and it doesn't take long before you're travelling at ludicrous speeds, bordering on going to plaid </spaceballs>

Unlike classic Pac Man, energizer points stack. Take advantage of this. The ghosts are worth 400, 800, 1600, and 3200. Each subsequent ghost is worth 3200 as long as the energizer remains active. Eating a new energizer before time runs out on the previous one resets the energizer's timer, but the points remain the same, which means you can earn another 3200 points 4 times for eating the 4 ghosts again. And again. And again. Take advantage of this whenever there are multiple energizers on the board. In fact, you'll need to do this at least once to earn 8 Ghost Combo.

Even with mediocre play, you'll earn more lives than you'll lose. But each life lost takes about 5 seconds off the clock while you respawn, which is much more important. It also resets the energizer timer and resets the dots down to 10 points. Die as little as possible. A decent run should put you a bit over 500,000 by the time the 10 minutes are up. (CE is one of my weaker games, and I can average about 520,000). Even if you earn 500k before time expires, make sure to finish off the full 10 minutes to earn the Pac Man CE Champ stamp.

Super Pac Man

Master: Earn 200,000 Points

You will earn the following stamps on your way to earning this stamp (Unmissable):

Beginner’s Graduation (Watch Pac-Man Show)
Coffee Break (Watch All Types of Pac-Man Shows)
Tropical (Eat all types of Fruit)
30th Anniversary (Earn 100,000 Points)
Master (Earn 200,000 Points)


This is much more difficult than appears at first glance, and will take you several rounds of practice. In the course of practice and your final 200k run, you’ll most likely earn the following stamps:

Ghost Eater (Eat 100 Ghosts)
Big Mama (Eat 100 Super Foods) -- These are the big green energizers that turn you into Super Pac Man. There are 2 per board.


This is one of the tougher ones. Press S and max out your lives and set the difficulty to A, which is the easiest. Super Pac Man was notorious for being difficult to control back when the game was first released, and there seems to be some input lag issues which makes an already difficult game harder than it needs to be.

During the first four boards, be aggressive with munching on the ghosts while the energizer lasts quite a while. Complete bonus rounds as quickly as possible by holding down the turbo button; you should be aiming for a minimum of 8,000 bonus points per round, not counting the random reward you’ll get for the prize in the middle.

After board #4, the focus should be on staying alive and only eating ghosts when they happen to be travelling in your path; do NOT go out of your way to eat ghosts, as you’ll likely just die in the process. The ghosts become particularly aggressive at about board 11, and the energizers (both normal and the green super ones) are very short. Avoid ghosts like the plague, using energizers to get you out of a jam.

Note that between boards 12 and 14, the keys to open the lower doors are on the upper half of the maze, and vice versa. So you want to eat the keys up top, then clear the fruits and the keys on the bottom, then clear out the top again. Use the super pills to bash through as many doors as you can to make it a bit easier. Board 15 is a bonus round, and board 16 is the last of the available fruits, but the keys follow the same pattern as board 1. The cycle repeats starting with board 17, and you should earn the 200k sometime around board 18.

(Note that if you somehow make it to 200k before board 16, you’ll need to play that far in order to earn Tropical. But if you’re skilled enough to earn 200k before board 16, chances are you aren’t reading this anyway.)

The last step is pretty much cleanup. You’ll most likely need to earn:

1,600 Point Mania (Earn 1600 points from eating ghosts 100 times)


And you *might* still have to earn Ghost Eater and Big Mama if you didn’t earn them during your 200k run or while practicing for it. Like the original Pac Man, just use level select to load up the first board, use the energizers to eat 4 ghosts 4 times, then commit suicide. Rinse and repeat as necessary.

Pac Land

Master: Earn 500,000 Points

You will earn the following stamp on your way to earning this stamp (Unmissable):

30th Anniversary (Earn 300,000 Points)
Master (Earn 500,000 Points)


You will very likely earn the following stamps while practicing for your Master Stamp run:

Ghost Eater (Eat 100 Ghosts)
Fruit Lover (Eat 100 Fruits)


Hell. Unimaginable Hell. This is another game where there were significant issues with control back in 1984, made worse by input issues with this port. This game will make you want to pull your hair out. You've been warned.

This game requires nearly pixel-perfect timing to make several jumps. Basically, this is 1984's version of Kaizo Mario.

Again, turn Trip select on (not round select, which will turn Trip select off), max lives, low difficulty. I would stay on Trip 1 for the first couple of games just to get used to the controls.

Once you're ready, select trip 5. This will start you on world 17 and give you a 400,000 point bonus for completing the trip, which ends on world 20. Your goal is to get to world 20 on your first life, which is notably harder than you'd think. This will require lots of practice.

On trip 17, you will need to make two pixel-perfect jumps using the springboards over a very large pool. Repeatedly bash to the right very quickly to make Pac Man "float" to the other side. Stopping for even a split second or jumping a hair too early will cause him to fall into the water.

You'll notice a cactus and a skull after the 2nd pool. There's an invisible pool of quicksand in the middle that will kill you. Run into the cactus, then jump and keep running. This will get you out of the quicksand and to the end of the level.

Level 18 is logs. Good luck. You basically need to make damn near pixel-perfect jumps and do not stop moving, as the logs will roll you off the edge almost instantly if you try to stop. The bad part: This is very difficult. The good part is that if you can make it past this on one life, you're pretty much home free.

Level 19 is a small, dark maze which isn't hard to navigate. Grab keys wherever you find them to open doors, and just move forward as much as possible. You'll find a nice pattern of your own after a couple of tries. I had no problems making it through this level in time by simply randomly running around.

You'll be travelling backwards through level 20. Pac Man can now repeatedly jump to keep himself in mid air, making the level a cakewalk. You can adjust your height by simply allowing yourself to fall and jumping again before you hit the ground. Abuse this, as numerous fruits appear all over the level and can crank up your score quickly.

When you're floating over the 2nd pool, grab all the fruits you can. Then land in the water. This will kill you and respawn you at the beginning of the pool, where you can jump over and grab all the fruits again. Rinse and repeat until your last life, then clear the level. You'll likely have earned 70-80K by now, along with the 400k bonus. You should be able to clean up the last few points in trip 21 by collecting the first few fruits. Depending on your luck with the end-of-round bonuses and how well you do in your run, there is a slim chance you may earn 500,000 without even having to play level 21. But if you've gotten this far, surviving long enough to collect the last few points you need should be a cakewalk.

The other stamps you need to earn are as follows:

Beginner's Graduation (Clear Round 1)
Artistic (Earn 7,650 Jump Bonus Points on Round Clear)


Reset the game to default settings, and set the difficulty to A. Clear Round 1 to earn the Beginner's Graduation stamp.

The 7650 one is basically luck based. At the end of any level, if you make a jump a split second before you lose control of Pac Man, you'll earn a bonus ranging from 100-7650. There's only a 1/30 of a second window to earn the 7650 bonus. It's pretty much just luck. Just keep trying level 1 and jumping at the end until you're lucky enough to get it.

The next step is:

Namco Mania (Earn 7,650 points for eating Ghosts 10 Times)


You'll want to increase the difficulty to Difficulty B to earn this stamp, as the low difficulty doesn't give you enough ghosts to chomp on six at a time, and C and D shoot out water from the hydrants which will get in your way.

Play level 1. Make your way to the power pill at the end of the level. Run back and forth until there are four planes above you and Sue is pursuing you. Time your jump so you'll grab both the power pill and one of the small ghosts that drop down in one motion. Chomp on the four ghosts that are now floating to you, then run to the left and chomp on Sue for the 7650.

Note that this is not easy, as the ghosts don't always do what you want them to do, and the energizer time is relatively short. It's frustrating more than difficult, and you'll probably take closer to 20-30 tries to do this the 10 times required for the stamp.

Note: There's a hidden helmet behind one of the fire hydrants. DO NOT GRAB THIS HELMET, as it will kill the small ghosts and not count towards one of the six when you eat the power pill.

The last stamp that could possibly remain is

Jumper (Jump 1,000 Times)


Self Explanatory. It's very likely that you've earned this stamp while trying to earn the other stamps. But if you somehow haven't, load up level 1 and jump a bunch of times. If you somehow haven't earned Fruit Lover and Ghost Eater, now is the time to do so.

Pac Attack

Master: Earn 500,000 Points (Normal Difficulty)

You will earn the following stamps on your way to earning this stamp (Unmissable):

Beginner's Graduation (Reach Level 20 (Normal Difficulty))
30th Anniversary (Earn 300,000 Points (Normal Difficulty))
Ghost Eater (Eat 100 Ghosts (Normal Difficulty))
Master Eraser (Clear 1,000 Rows (Normal Difficulty))
Master (Earn 500,000 Points (Normal Difficulty))


The following stamps are technically missable, but I cannot realistically see anyone earning 500,000 in a game without earning these stamps several times over:

Technician (Clear 5 Rows at Once (Normal Difficulty))
Ghost Train (Eat 10 Ghosts at Once (Normal Difficulty))


This is basically a Tetris variant. The objective is to line up as many ghosts as possible for Pac Man to chomp on at once, causing the blocks to cascade, clear lines, and score points. Obviously more ghosts = more points, and clearing more than 2 lines per cascade will score big points.

Unlike the other 8 games, selecting anything other than "normal mode" and "normal difficulty" will disable stamp collecting.

After eating enough ghosts, a fairy will come down and kill all the ghosts below where it stops, if there are any there. You'll score even higher points than usual for the killed ghosts, and it's easy to score big cascades. If, however, you can leave a hole for the fairy to make it all the way to the bottom of the board, that's where the real points are, as you can score 30,000+ if the fairy hits the bottom. Note that you can have ghosts/blocks on the board. The fairy just has to hit the bottom to score the points.

It's pretty straightforward....just practice until you hit 500k. Don't go for 2-3 ghosts at a time and instead try to line up 10-15+. 1-2 lines will only get you a few hundred points. Cascading 4-5 lines can score several thousand. And it's not worth killing 1-2 ghosts with fairies when you can just let them hit the bottom and rack up 30 grand.

There's not really much to say here. Just practice. Once you figure out the game, which takes all of 2 minutes, you'll understand what you have to do. Those who are good at Tetris variants will likely have an easier time with this. If you're not good at Tetris-style games, this game will give you fits. Even for skilled players, surviving long enough to earn 500k is going to pose a notable challenge.

The last stamp that may be remaining is:

Fantasy (Free 100 Fairies (Normal Difficulty))


Depending on how many games you had to play while practicing for your 500k run, you may have already earned this stamp. If not, you're going to have to grind it out. A good game will likely net you only 3-5 fairies, so it's going to take some grinding to work up to 100. As I said before, 500k is no walk in the park, so it's very possible that you may end up earning this stamp before making a successful 500k run.

Pac & Pal

Another game that will give you some fits. This is basically an offshoot of Super Pac Man. Some things to point out.

Miru will wander around the board, grab your fruits, and bring them back to the ghost home. You'll suffer no penalties if he does so, but you'll score no points either.
Unlike most Pac Man variants, the energizers stack. Rather than being reset to 200, eating the 2nd energizer fruit before the first one ends will keep the ghosts' values at 1600 points each.
The ghosts are hyper aggressive. The red and pink ones will follow you relentlessly, and the blue one will not be far behind. Even the tan one will still occasionally pursue you. Oh, and they're all faster than you.
You can go through Pal. He doesn't hurt you. You can eat fruits that he's captured but not brought back to the ghost house. In fact, you'll need to do this 10 times to earn one of the stamps.
Projectiles can be shot through walls, and ghosts in the ghost home can be frozen.
The key increases in value from 700-5000. Other fruits retain their value throughout the game. You'll need to collect 100 keys for one of the stamps. Other fruits do not matter.
This game is ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ hard.


Master: Earn 200,000 Points

You will earn the following stamps on your way to earning this stamp (Unmissable):

Beginner's Graduation (Clear Bonus Stage)
30th Anniversary (Earn 100,000 Points)
Master (Earn 200,000 Points)


Depending on how aggressive you are, you may also earn the following stamps:

Ghost Hunter (Attack 100 Ghosts)
Miru Fan (Regain Item from Miru 10 Times)


You need to run over playing cards, which will open up doors to the corresponding fruits. Then you eat the fruit. There will be two of the same fruit (Galaxian, then race car, then snowman, trumpet, and Pac Man) that act as the energizers. Unlike every other pac man game, you don't chomp the ghosts. While energized, you'll turn blue and be able to shoot a projectile out of your mouth which temporarily freezes the ghosts and allows you to pass through them.

The energizers last quite a while, so freezing all 4 should be easy. You should be aiming to eat the 2nd energizer before the 1st runs out, as the points stack and allow you to score 1600 points each instead of 200, 400, and 800.

The animations change based on whatever fruit is the energizer, but this is purely cosmetic to give some variety to the game; the result is the exact same.

This is a very obscure game, and there's little to nothing out there regarding viable strategies to work with. Your goal is to do your best to earn the full 9400 per board for ghosts (3000 for the first energizer, then quickly chomp the 2nd one and re-freeze the ghosts for the other 6400), then avoid the ghosts at all costs and clear the board.

There's a "rest" period every few rounds. This is semi-random. You won't know what setup is being used on a given board. For the first board, the red ghost is most commonly (but not always) found in the bottom middle. Just avoid eating that one until dead last and you'll clear the board more often than not. There is no way to tell where the ghost is until you stumble on him.

The ghosts start becoming relentless after about board 5. Once you hit the trumpet and snowman boards, the goal should be focused on surviving, though the energizers still last long enough that you should be able to still pick up a decent amount of points. But use them to get you out of a jam.

If you have a decent enough run, you should be able to earn the 200k when you clear the Pac Man boards and are back on the Galaxians. The boards then repeat, but the ghosts remain hyper aggressive.

Again, This is NOT EASY.

After your 200k run, you will have the following stamps left:

1600 Point Mania (Earn 1,600 points from attacking ghosts 100 times)
Key Mania (Obtain 100 Keys)
Good Luck (Completely clear Rest time stage)


Key Mania is self explanatory: Each board has one key near the bottom. So eat the key. Other fruits do not count. You'll basically have to play 100 boards.

The "Rest Time" stage is random. To earn "Good Luck", you'll have to be lucky enough to clear the Rest Time stage and eat the card with the ghost behind it dead last. If you haven't randomly earned this already, you can turn Level Select on and select stage 3. The card with the ghost behind it is most commonly (BUT NOT ALWAYS) found in the bottom middle, so eat that one last. Just keep trying. It should only take a few tries at most.

For 1600 Point mania, remember the trick with the energizers. Eat one energizer, then freeze the ghosts 4 times for the 1600. Then quickly eat the 2nd energizer and re-freeze the ghosts. If you do it fast enough, you'll earn 1600 points per ghost for the 2nd energizer, which means you can get 5 per board. Rinse and repeat until you score 1600 100 times.

And if you've managed to make it through all these games, go to your stamp book and view each and every stamp. Viewing the stamps unlocks the corresponding trinket(s). When you're done, you'll have earned all the stamps, all the trinkets, and all 12 trophies for this game. Congrats.
