Game Description:
Pac-Man World 2 is 3D platformer that is a predecessor to Pac-Man World on the PS1. It released on PlayStation 2, GameCube and Xbox in 2002, then later on PC in 2004.
There are a total of 6 Worlds each containing a boss fight and 3 main-game levels, except World 1 which has 4 levels. The game also contains a total of 189 Tokens, 5 unlockable arcade games and a concept art gallery. Tokens are optional collectables that unlock content after reaching a certain criteria and are not required to beat the game.

Pac-Man's health bar and life counter can be found at the top left corner of the screen.
You start with 5 lives when you begin a new game. If you finish a level with 4 lives or under, your lives reset to 5 (This doesn't apply to PS2 1.0).
When Pac-Man takes damage, it takes one health wedge away from the health bar. You can take 3 hits until you lose a life with the exception of some instant kills (lava, falling too far, water in World 6, etc.). If you lose all of your lives and get a Game Over, you go back to the start of the level and your lives reset to 5.
Health wedges can be found to restore Pac-Man's health. Pac-Man's health is NOT carried over, you begin with full health each level.

Speed Tech:
One of the key factors of achieving the fastest time in this game is movement optimization. This means you want to try utilizing Rev-Rolls, Rev-Jumps, Terrain Boosted Rev-Rolls and Chrome Ball Boosts as much as possible.
Rev-Rolls are the main tech of movement that is used throughout the majority of the speedrun.
