Pac-Man Collection is a compilation of Pac-Man, Pac-Man Arrangement, Pac-Mania, and Pac-Attack on the go. What more can you ask for?

To do: Some sources (like TV Tropes and Pac-Man Wiki) say that Pac-Man Arrangement still has its two-player mode (albeit dummied out). Check if that's true.

Unused Graphics

Big sprites of Blinky and Inky. These originated from the credits screen of Pac-Man Arrangement (when it was featured in Namco Classic Collection Vol. 2), but this compilation skips the credits entirely for unknown reasons.

Unused Text

Pac-Mania has some debug-related text, including a sound test and a "3D TEST":

SOUND TEST
VOICE NUMBER
PSG   NUMBER
FM    NUMBER
AUDIO
3D TEST

Pac-Mania also has a disclaimer about international copyright:

Regional Differences

US	Japan

The Japanese title screen is missing "TM and" as well as "Licensed by Nintendo". The logo also has less shadow behind it.

US	Japan

Pac-Mania has a different logo in the Japanese version, based on the arcade original (along with being consistent with the logo seen after selecting the game). The US version's logo seems to be based on the one in the Genesis port, as there's no hole in the P.

US	Japan

The US version has tips, while the Japanese version has hints.
