NTSC-U:

This was the first release of Pac-Man World 2 on the GameCube releasing on March 12, 2002 and is built off of the PlayStation 2 Greatest Hits/1.1 release. Both Black Label and the Player's Choice re-release are exactly identical and is generally the version that is commonly used for speedruns. This is because its one out of two versions that allows you to rev-roll into the Boss machines in Inky and Pinky without being knocked back and not having to wait 3 seconds on the map screen after completing them. However lava has different properites as he cannot rev-roll smoothly into it as his speed is lost, therefore he has to face against a wall to clip out of bounds. This makes the skip slightly harder, but it is still very consistent to pull off.
