Now to look forward to the Sonic side of things cause the Pac-Man rep in Crossworlds still looks very promising.

Lastly, there was the little collectable figures. It's nice to see some love for Shadow, Tails, Metal, my main man Knucks, and my girl Amy even if they didn't get to appear physically.

All in all, this was well worth the wait. Hope we get to see something else like this someday.

Generations.. and honestly Robot SpongeBob from BFBB.

The cutscenes were also super charming. Shame there was no voice acting but I kind of expected that, but I found Sonic leaving the gifts for Pac-Man really cute and then the two of them working together to beat Eggman was epic.

The second phase being a runner section feels fitting given the last time we had a Sonic Pac-Man crossover was Sonic Dash.
And while I understand the argument of Death Egg Robot also being overused, I do think it's pretty cool we got a 3D take on him. It feels like a mixture of his fight from-

The Eggman boss fight is probably the weakest part of the DLC as it still suffers from some of the issues I have with the later boss design of the base game. But at the same time, I do find it pretty cool.
Love that the first phase is like a 3D take on the ball and chain from Sonic 1-

The Sonic costume is pretty awesome.
I love that the sound effects change to match that of typical Sonic ones, such as the Rev Roll sounding like the Spindash.
Also when he turns into Super Pac-Man, you get a little animation of him using the emeralds and getting a new hat.
It's so cute.

I know many people are understandably disappointed that it's just Green Hill again and Generations' take at that. Though at the same, it's hard not to see why they went with it.
Personally I think the reuse of Green Hill is only really an issue in regards to the main series, it was fine here.

Speaking of Act 2, I absolutely adore its track. It's pretty much a Sonic styled remix of the Pac-Man World 2 theme and it nails the vibe incredibly so. It's probably my favorite song in the game now besides the Pac-Knight rendition of the Village theme.

Then there's the location itself-

Pac-Man World 3 came out in 2005. I really loved Act 2 especially, it has some of my favorite platforming in the game, especially during its time trial run.

The missions were pretty straight forward. The whole "collect 100 rings and keep them till the end of the stage" mission took me a few tries-

I don't think I could realistically pick anything else but Ballora as the answer. As long as I've known you, you've been nothing but a massive fanboy of her, gushing about her nonstop and having the world's largest collection of her merch.

Honorable mention would be the funny cone head.

You know that's a pretty good film but it needs more Minilla.

While I still find it a pretty unfitting stage to have in a game centered around Shadow's character, it's honestly one of the strongest stages in the game just due to how well they went about adapting it into a more traditional Sonic stage.
It's easily one of the stages I've replayed the most.

Huge congrats to both of you!

They cooked incredibly hard for their first fully original Springtrap variant, love how he takes cues from the other Springs while still managing to stand out on his own and fit with the rest of the Blighted cosmetics they've done before.
Easily one of the most unique Springs we've ever gotten.

You got a pretty epic collection, the statue especially is pretty sweet.

Hello, Jenny.
