The finale is finally here! As expected, the ghostly haunted levels are amongst the most strict and challenging of the game, especially the first stage and the last leg of the third stage. What's worse (for me) is that the Bonus Stages require being good at precision platforming too, which has not been my strongest suit in this playthrough. Thus, the lives did start to drain away, but thankfully I still had plenty for completing the game.

I'd say that the Toc-Man boss is mostly quite good and a fair challenge, except for the last phase. The boss's final attack is a bit excessively difficult to dodge, and physics-related jank can easily send you flying off of the stage if you try to jump over the attack. I ended up adopting a strategy of just staying grounded and tanking the hits from these final attacks, which does work, but it's not a satisfying way to win. That said, it's not a bad boss, and I did get the hang of it.

Overall, I had a really great time with the OG Pac-Man World, and I can't wait to try to reboot in the near future to see what they changed between the versions. (Thanks again to Melee K for gifting me the game!)
