History VideoGame / PacManChampionshipEdition

* AdrenalineTime: Whenever Pac-Man gets close to a ghost, the game slows down to help the player avoid it. However, the timer continues to count down in real time, so this situation should best be avoided.
* AlertnessBlink: When sleeping ghosts are woken up in ''Championship Edition DX'', they'll do this with the '''!''' thing over their head and a chirp sound effect.

* CameraAbuse: Pac-Man literally *Eats* The camera when you get a very long ghost chain.

* CartoonBomb: The SmartBomb counter icons in ''Championship Edition DX'' certainly look like these.

* CompanyCrossReferences: It's a Namco game, so this is to be expected. In this case, there are DLC skins based off of ''VideoGame/DigDug'' and ''VideoGame/RallyX'' for ''DX''.

** ''Regular'' -- The other three lead ghosts also start to get their own trains as the stage progresses. At high fruit counts, fruits and Power Pills start trying to avoid you. Game speed is faster and there are less 1-Ups.
** ''Extreme'' -- [[HairTriggerTemper Ghosts get angry after just one collision.]] Fruits and power pills always try to avoid you. Game speed is at its fastest and there are no extra lives at all.

* MickeyMousing: The life symbols and the bomb counter in ''Championship Edition 2'' are shown to dance to the beat of whatever track you pick for the stage.

* SleepyEnemy: The sleeping ghosts from CE DX act as this. Sleeping ghosts are usually colored green, but if Pac-Man comes near a sleeping ghost, they'll turn into angry rainbow ghosts that chase Pac-Man.

* WakeUpFighting: One new type of ghost in ''DX'' wakes up if Pac-man gets too close and immediately gives chase. They return in ''2'', now immediately joining one of the four ghost trains.

* NintendoHard: ''Championship Edition 2'' is perhaps one of the hardest games that use modernized gameplay mechanics, thanks to high movement speeds without any way to mitigate them and weakened ghost trains actively trying to avoid you, and you can only eat a train by eating the head of it (if you run into the side, you'll just bounce off). Plus, in harder difficulties, the Power Pellet and the fruit ''also try to avoid you too!''
