Namco PacMan Battle Royale Chompionship

Four joysticks. One maze. The last Pac-Man on screen takes the round.

Overview

Pac-Man Battle Royale CHOMPionship by Bandai Namco is the only Pac-Man arcade game built for four-player competitive play. The familiar maze is the battlefield: eat a power pellet, grow to double size, and eliminate opponents — the last player standing wins the round. A full set of new power-ups beyond the classic pellet system gives each round a different shape than the last.

Key Features

Four-Player Simultaneous Competition

CHOMPionship supports four players competing in the same maze at the same time — a configuration no other Pac-Man arcade cabinet offers. Each player controls an independent Pac-Man character with a dedicated joystick and button station on the cabinet.

Power Pellet Size and Speed Mechanic

Eating a power pellet doubles a player's on-screen Pac-Man in size and increases movement speed. At that scale, the powered-up Pac-Man can consume ghosts and any non-powered opponent. Two players at equal size bounce off one another rather than eliminating — so the powered state is the decisive differentiator each round.

Ten Distinct Power-Ups

CHOMPionship introduces ten power-ups that extend well beyond the classic pellet. The complete set: Gold Power Pellet (makes ghosts edible), Green Super Pellet (enlarges Pac-Man; can eat ghosts and regular-sized opponents), Smoke Bomb (slows ghosts), Banana Peel (causes uncontrolled skidding), Lightning (zaps nearby ghosts or opponents), Ghost Sheet (makes the player invisible to ghosts), Chili Pepper (burns nearby ghosts or opponents), Earthquake (slows all players), 1UP (adds one life), and Ghost Magnet (lets the player carry ghosts as a weapon).

Post-Round Statistics Screen

At the conclusion of each game, the cabinet displays per-player statistics including "Won Most Rounds" and "Ate Most Pac-Man." The summary screen gives all four players a shared moment to read results before the next credit cycle begins.

Maze Reset Mechanic

Eating a piece of fruit or clearing all pellets from the maze triggers an immediate reset — a fresh set of power pellets drops into the field. This keeps every round active and prevents play from stalling in a depleted maze.

How It Plays

Each player steers their Pac-Man through the shared maze with a joystick, racing to reach power pellets before opponents do — because the first player to grab one visibly doubles in size and accelerates, which is readable from across the arcade floor. From outside the cabinet, bystanders see up to four differently-colored Pac-Men colliding, swelling in size, and disappearing as they're eliminated, with the surviving character growing more prominent on screen as the round narrows to a winner.

Why Operators Love It

Four-Coin Entry Per Play Cycle

The cabinet accommodates up to four paying players on a single game cycle. A group of four each inserting a credit means four revenue events before a single round concludes — a throughput profile that single-player cabinets of the same footprint cannot match.

Recognizable IP Reduces Cold-Start Risk

The Pac-Man brand is one of the most recognized in arcade gaming. Operators placing a new title carry the risk of player unfamiliarity — CHOMPionship's Namco licensing eliminates that barrier. Players understand the core mechanic on sight, which shortens the time between cabinet placement and first paid play.

Dual Voltage Configuration

The cabinet ships configured for 110V standard current and is available in 220V on request. This covers the full range of U.S. venue electrical configurations — from standard wall outlets to venues running dedicated 220V circuits — without requiring a transformer or aftermarket power conversion.

Operator Manual Included

Bandai Namco provides a full operation manual for the CHOMPionship cabinet. Documented service procedures reduce dependence on manufacturer support calls for routine maintenance and adjustment tasks.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many players can use the Pac-Man Battle Royale CHOMPionship at once?

Up to four players can compete simultaneously on a single cabinet. CHOMPionship is the only Pac-Man arcade game built for four-player competitive play, with each player controlling a separate Pac-Man character in the shared maze.

What are the assembled dimensions of the Pac-Man Battle Royale CHOMPionship cabinet?

The assembled cabinet measures 35 in W x 45 in D x 90 in H and weighs 365 lbs. Shipping dimensions are 42 in W x 58 in D x 89 in H, so operators should verify doorway and aisle clearance before delivery.

What power supply does the CHOMPionship cabinet require?

The standard configuration runs on 110V. A 220V version is available on request, making the cabinet compatible with venues running either standard or higher-voltage dedicated circuits.

Is Pac-Man Battle Royale CHOMPionship a sequel or a standalone title?

CHOMPionship is the official sequel to the original Pac-Man Battle Royale arcade cabinet. It retains the four-player competitive maze format of its predecessor while adding ten distinct power-ups not present in the original game.

Ideal Placement

The CHOMPionship cabinet fits naturally in family entertainment centers, bowling center arcades, trampoline parks, and pizzeria game rooms where groups arrive together and look for side-by-side competitive play. Its 35-inch width fits standard arcade floor slots, and the 45-inch depth suits venue layouts with back-to-back cabinet rows. College student unions and movie theater lobbies are also well-suited given the short round structure and the game's immediate learnability for first-time players.
