If it were on the N64, you would be ceaselessly singing it's praises as a "hidden gem".

The platforming is weak and constantly kneecaps its own pace with back tracking for meaningless collectibles. The traditional Pacman elements are shoehorned and weak. World 2, Klonoa and Maze Madness achieve the same goals more effectively.

>The platforming is weak
Seems competent with a variety of moves to keep and control the pace at your own leisure. The roll up dash is swift, there's charge moves and the frames of action are tuned very well to be satisfying and distinct. This is all from just two levels, the game is very well polished.

Traditional pac-man elements are centered around bonus content, or "meaningless" collectibles as you put it - personally I find them fun to collect as they have so far involved deciphering level layouts and exploring the environments while making clever use of platforming to keep the action interesting. As they are meaningless, they appear to be optional so if you do not want to engage with them and how they push the mechanics that little bit farther, you clearly do not need to. I do not mind that the traditional content is more casual, this is clearly the point as its a kids platformer.

No because they removed the iconic Pac Man scream in intro cutscene.

Game is pretty good, but didn't age well.

Then Sonic would appear but gets his ass kicked because he can't do shit against ghosts
Only Knuckles and Pac-Man can.

They're the real dynamic duo of video gaming

I wouldn't compare Maze Madness to this game. Pac-Man World is a 3D platformer, Maze Madness stays a lot closer to the arcade games without much focus on platforming. If the goal is bringing Pac-Man into 3D I kind of prefer World's approach

Mega Drive version is better.

It's janky but fun.
Re-Pac is definitely better despite some changes I'm not a fan of (Mega Pac-Man, the new Toc-Man fight) and the art direction not being quite as consistent.
World 2's better than both of them, and I am both excited and concerned to see how it would get changed in a potential remake.

No one calls World 1 or 2 a hidden gem.
3 is hidden, but I'm not sure if it's a gem.

They did in an update.
It was shitty that it wasn't like that at launch, but at least they addressed it and fixed it unlike the Metroid Prime remaster.
