Talk:Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures (SNES)

Unused Music in Genesis version?

The password sound test in the Genesis version has a few tracks that I'm pretty sure aren't used anywhere. SUPER PAC-MAN (track 1) is a glitchy duplicate of the title splash theme. FRAGILE-1 (track 40) is an alternate opening for the track that plays when Pac-Man breaks the giant glass tube in the factory. There's also a few duplicate tracks (BANG! 19 and RUBBER BALLOON 20). --AndyNPC 23:48, 12 October 2012 (EDT)

Track 1 is the track used when introducing Super Pac-Man in the intro in the SNES version(though as you stated this seems to be removed in the Genesis port). FRAGILE-2 is used on the glass tube, while FRAGILE-1 is used on the line of science equipment on the other side of that area(once again, in the SNES version). West (talk) 21:47, 15 March 2014 (EDT)

Unused stuff I'm not confident to add

Music

• The only difference between Track 19(Bang!) and Track 20(Rubber Balloon) is a subtlety in the popping sound effect. Trying to find the exact location of either track would be insane.

Update: Could be wrong but Track 19 is used when popping Pac-Man's balloon in Fountain Way. Track 20 is used when popping the balloon that goes past the mountain summit.

• Track 21 (What?!): This is just a compilation of the suspense sting, the balloon pop, and a sped-up version of "I Won't Be Long"(metropolis theme). I don't think there's any situation where this actually happens involving a balloon in the final game.
• Track 49 (You Lost): A far more sinister version of "Bye! Bye!", the usual "death" inward eyecatch. I have never heard this while fighting the final boss, but I've never really fought him often because he has a really simple pattern and is a pain in the ass to actually beat. Usually when you die here it just does the inward eyecatch with no accompanied music, preferring to play "Teach Pac A Lesson" to the end.
• Although not unused, the track used in the intro for Episode 3, a variant of Track 43(Ghost), doesn't appear in the sound test.

Will add more questionable stuff to this space once I'm through clearing the debug pattern test. Might add some of this and the exposition of the Debug and Normal Pattern Tests onto a Notes page. West (talk) 19:59, 15 March 2014 (EDT)

Due to the nature of the Pattern Tests and somewhat cloudy interpretation of what could be considered "unused" in them I'll probably just arrange a massive table and throw it onto a notes page. Might take awhile, though. West (talk) 08:21, 16 March 2014 (EDT)
