Anyway, here\u2019s a bigger shot of the cans.<\/p>\n

So why put Pac-Man on Red Bull?\u00a0 Well if you download the Pac-Man app on your mobile device, you can choose to play special Red Bull mazes for a limited time (until March of 2019 I think).\u00a0 There are codes on the bottom of the lids when you open them, and when you enter them into the game, you\u2019ll unlock more special mazes. These mazes have a new power-up, too.\u00a0 If Pac-Man eats a can of Red Bull, electricity will rotate around him, and if a ghost comes in Pac\u2019s \u2018line of sight\u2019 either horizontally or vertically, no matter how far away, they\u2019ll get zapped and have to go back to their hideout as eyes.\u00a0 Just like when you eat them after a power pellet.\u00a0 And that\u2019s pretty much it.\u00a0 Normally I don\u2019t mind commercials in games, but this one seems a bit off putting to me.\u00a0 Maybe it\u2019s just because they\u2019re using my favorite video game character to shill something I don\u2019t like, I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s another cross promotion featuring Pac-Man on mobile devices, this time featuring the new movie Wreck-It Ralph 2: Ralph Breaks the Internet.\u00a0 You can download a separate app called Ralph Breaks the Maze.\u00a0 The app plays just like Pac-Man, except Wreck-It Ralph and Fix-It Felix roam the maze as well.\u00a0 They don\u2019t hurt you, but they do affect the maze.\u00a0 There are special walls that can block your path.\u00a0 If Ralph walks by them, he\u2019ll break the walls, and if Felix goes by, he\u2019ll fix them again.\u00a0 In a way, it kind of reminds me of Pac & Pal.\u00a0 You can enter codes to unlock new mazes here, too, but I don\u2019t know how you get codes for these.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
