Play Pac-Man World 3 (EU) Online

Pac-Man World 3 came out on the Nintendo DS in 2005, developed by Namco. It was part of that early wave of DS games trying to bring 3D platforming to a handheld, and it stood out for giving Pac-Man a more action-oriented adventure outside his usual maze-running roots.

You control Pac-Man through a series of interconnected levels, using a headbutt to break obstacles and attack enemies, along with a butt-bounce to smash targets or reach higher platforms. The main goal involves stopping a villain from merging the real world with the Ghost World, which means navigating environmental puzzles, collecting fruit, and evading ghosts in more open spaces. The pace is generally brisk, though some sections demand careful timing, especially during boss fights or precision jumps. It feels like a straightforward, energetic platformer that makes clever use of Pac-Man’s classic abilities in a new context.
