Pac 'n Roll is a platform game in the Pac-Man series developed by Namco and released in 2005 for the Nintendo DS.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })During Pac-Man's youth, he spends a summer at the home of Pac-Master for training to fight the ghosts in Pac-Land. During his training, he keeps experiencing a dream where he is being chased by a shadowy ghost. When Pac-Man and Pac-Master attend the annual Power Pellet Harvest Festival, the ghosts summon the legendary rock & roll loving ghost Golvis so he can do away with the Pac family, even though his power was so great, he was exiled to space. After he remains unaffected by a Power Pellet, he casts a curse on Pac-Man and the rest of the Pac-Landers to turn them into balls. Soon cursed into a mere ball, Pac-Man is joined by Krystal, a guardian fairy, and they venture on a journey to defeat Golvis.This game takes a new twist on the traditional Pac-Man formula by having the player roll Pac-Man through different stages by using the DS touchscreen. The player must collect a certain number of Pac-Dots per stage to unlock Golvis Gates that allow progression through the level. If a ghost latches onto Pac-Man it must be shooed off before it drains his health fully.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })The game received an Updated Re-release in 2007 as part of the Namco Museum Remix Compilation Rerelease on the Nintendo Wii, as well as that collection’s 2010 rerelease, Namco Museum Megamix. This version, called Pac N’ Roll Remix, uses a more traditional control scheme using the analog stick on the Nunchuk to move, and replaced certain levels with new ones. The Remix version would be released once again in 2022 as part of the Pac-Man Museum + collection on Steam, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.

Recurring Boss: Golvis is the only boss in the game, and he is fought at the end of every world barring the first. Each fight has essentially the same objective, though he comes with a very different arena layout each time.

comment
Power-Up Food: Chocolate bars scattered through the game can change Pac-Man's abilities. Knight Chocolate: Gives Pac-Man a knight's helmet. It makes him slower, but also makes him heavy enough to sink under water, and powerful enough to break metal crates. Wing Chocolate: Gives Pac-Man a winged cap. Greatly improves Pac-Man's speed, and makes him float in mid-air more, but makes his controls more slippery. Brown Chocolate: Turns Pac-Man back to his normal form.

Gotta Catch 'Em All: The DS game contains 128 blue gems that can be collected. Requirements for obtaining these gems include collecting all of a stage’s Pac-Dots, completing challenge stages, beating the best times in Time Attack mode, and simply finding them within the stages. Every stage contains a certain number of Pac-Dots. Pac-Man must collect them all in order to obtain one of that stage’s blue gems.

Version-Exclusive Content: The Remix version of the game omits a lot of the bonus content from the original DS game, including all of the story cutscenes, the Time Trial and Challenge stages, and the gem collection sidequest. Ghost Land, the fourth world from the DS game, is missing in the Remix version. That version moves on directly to Flaming Fortress once Sweet Land is completed. The Remix version has a different final world from the original DS game. The DS version has Golvis' UFO, which is a Boss-Only Level dedicated entirely to the final boss fight, while the Remix version has Golvis' Hideout, which is a full-length world.
