Players can make very quick work of the revamped Scuba Duba level in Pac-Man World 2: Re-Pac - to the point it's possible to clock a "negative" time during its time trial! With how the game's UI handles the negative integers, this possibility may have been a potential oversight.

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS was being developed at the same time Pac-Man's Ghostly Adventures era was in full swing. Despite this, Masahiro Sakurai went with Pac-Man's iconic look, and would've considered dropping the character altogether if he had to use the redesign.
