Pac-Man Party 3D is a party game by Namco Bandai Games for the Wii and Nintendo 3DS. It is similar to the Mario Party series and Monopoly games for the Wii. In the game’s story mode, players must retrieve a stolen cookie recipe from Pac-Man’s enemies Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde and return it to its rightful owner, Mr. Cookie. The game was released to coincide with Pac-Man’s 30th anniversary. The game notably features redesigns of the main characters which would carry over to following Pac-Man titles in the mid-2010s, culminating with Ghostly Adventures.
The game includes a story mode known as “Mr. Cookie’s Recipe”. It also has a party mode for up to four players. It also has over 50 minigames, which when played, allows players to unlock bonus content. It also has a “Classic Games” mode where players can play three classic Namco arcade games including Pac-Man, Galaga, and Dig Dug, with either the Wii Remote turned sideways or a Classic Controller. The 3DS version of the game allows players to do link-up 4 player with only one cartridge.
The Wii version has two extra boards that the 3DS version does not have. A scaled-down version on Windows Phone has 2D graphics and contains 10 mini games. It lacks the “Classic Games” mode that the Wii and 3DS versions have but all three of the games from that mode have had their own separate releases on Windows Phone. In the game all players start at Mr. Cookie’s factory with 1000 cookies.
The main object is to collect a number of cookies and get to the cookie factory to win. When a player goes to an empty space or an empty castle, the player can build a castle or claim it. When players go to their own castle they receive cookies (depending on the level). A player landing on an opponent’s castle will battle in a minigame (attack and defense). If the attacking player wins, the player takes the opponent’s castle. If the defending player wins, the attack player/players lose the number of cookies (depending on the castle’s level).
If a player lands on a Millionaire Manor, something good may happen. If a player lands on a Tarot Tent, something bad may happen. If a player lands on Dr. Labo’s Lab, the player might go to a different space. Should the player pass an exclamation point (!) space enough times, and something major will happen, and then the player will play a boss minigame. The player can then return to the cookie factory to get a cookie bonus along with a castle bonus for each castle gained.
