Pac-Man Battle Royale CHOMPionship

Pac-Man Battle Royale CHOMPionship is an arcade game released in 2022 by Bandai Namco Amusement America. It is the direct sequel to Pac-Man Battle Royale, adding various improvements and enhancements.
== Gameplay ==
Battle Royale CHOMPionship's premise is roughly the same as the original Pac-Man Battle Royale, though appears to be coded from scratch (rather than being a pure variant of the first game). The game has various new features and additions:
*The game supports up to eight players instead of four.
**The Pac-Men are colored yellow, pink, dark blue, red, green, orange, light blue, and purple.
*The game is faster-paced, speeding up aspects such as eating ghosts.
*There are ten brand-new power-ups, with various unique functions. The power-ups bounce around the maze, similar to Ms. Pac-Man.
*Players have multiple lives per round.
*Each player has a score counter, and the game has a high score leaderboard. The original Battle Royale did not have a proper score system, and the feature was reportedly added to CHOMPionship based on fans' feedback.
*If a player loses track of their Pac-Man in gameplay, they can press the fire button to highlight where the Pac-Man is on-screen.
=== Power-Ups ===
*Gold Power Pellet: Allows Pac-Man to eat the ghosts.
*Green Super Pellet: Makes Pac-Man big. Allows Pac-Man to eat both ghosts and other Pac-Men.
*Caffeine: Boosts Pac-Man's speed.
*Smoke Bomb: Releases a smoke explosion that slows down ghosts.
*Banana Peel: Causes Pac-Man to slip and skid uncontrollably.
*Lightning: Zaps nearby ghosts or other Pac-Men.
*Ghost Sheet: Makes Pac-Man invisible to ghosts.
*Chili Pepper: Burns nearby ghosts or other Pac-Men.
*Earthquake: Causes all players to slow down.
*1UP: Adds one life.
*Ghost Magnet: Allows Pac-Man to pick up ghosts and carry them around as a weapon.
== Machine types ==
Three different arcade machine types were produced. The game is also available as a conversion kit for already existing Battle Royale machines.
*Cocktail table model: Almost identical to the original Battle Royale cabinet. Two of the machines can be linked together to accommodate for the eight-player mode.
*Deluxe model: Another cocktail table-like model, though it is much larger in size. There is a large screen built into the table itself, as well as a smaller “spectator” screen attached to the marquee.
*Projector model: Unlike the original Battle Royale's projector model, there is no joystick pedestal. Instead, the player(s) can link their smartphones to the machine to use as a controller, via a QR code.
== Trivia ==
*The default high score leaderboard has the scores under the names of Pac-Man, Dig Dug, and Mappy characters.
