Gameplay

Play begins on the video screen, where the player controls Baby Pac-Man through a maze.<ref name="campbell">Template:Cite magazine</ref> Play mechanics are similar to Pac-Man in that the object is to navigate the maze while gobbling dots and avoiding ghosts. In contrast to earlier games in the series, Baby Pac-Man's maze starts with no energizers, which allow Baby Pac-Man to eat the ghosts.<ref name="sharpe">Template:Cite magazine</ref> Instead, there are two vertical chutes at the bottom edge of the screen, which suspend video play and transfer the game to the pinball table located just below the monitor when the player travels down either of them.<ref name="vgm">Template:Cite magazine</ref><ref name="ward">Template:Cite news</ref>

Pinball mode

The mechanical pinball section operates as a traditional, though smaller, pinball table. The player hits targets with a metal ball using two button-operated flippers. The player may earn energizers, gain new fruit bonuses, and increase tunnel speed, all of which are used in the video mode.<ref>Template:Cite magazine</ref> After losing a ball, the game resumes on the video screen, but with the chutes closed. The player must clear the maze or lose a life to reopen the chutes. The game ends when the player runs out of lives.
