After G-Mode Archives : Pac-Man comes out, the Switch will tie with the Gamecube in how many different releases of Pac-Man are on the same console.

The infamous level 256 glitch in Pac-Man is caused by a registry overflow
Simply put, the code responsible for drawing the fruit sprites at the bottom ends up looping back to 0 since a byte can't hold a number higher than 255. This inadvertently messes with the values it expects

While Pac-Man World 2 saw many small fixes and tweaks after its first print run, a few new errors did fall through the cracks.
A notable example can be seen in the title card for Haunted Boardwalk; Pac-Man's default loading animation replaces the animation created for the shot.

In the olden days of the internet, it was fairly common to stumble upon suspicious advertisements and pop-ups that would declare you a winner of a free product if you engaged with it.
Naturally, some of these spammy adverts involved the use of Pac-Man iconography.

It has been rumored for decades that there exist rare bonus items following the key in the original Pac-Man.
Gold bars would supposedly pop up far after the key's debut and give the player 10,000 points each. These were said to be followed by screwdrivers, which rewarded 25,000.

Same assignment, different artist!
Director and designer Ahmed Guerrouache was also once tasked with coming up with expressive cartoon-y takes on the Pac-Man characters and their world.
These interpretations are part of what he came up with.
These drawings were illustrated by Pedro Eboli as he worked with Copa Studio on a pitch involving animated Pac-Man shorts for Bandai Namco, particularly to test how expressive they could make Pac-Man for it.
In the end, Cartuna would be the studio behind Pac-Man Snack Breaks.

(Content warning: Sex)
When Ms. Pac-Man was still Crazy Otto, GCC jokingly made a build with a cutscene where Otto and his partner had sex.
It was a prank on GCC's Kevin Curran, who was then going to meet Midway's Dave Marofske to present and discuss the game.
