Long ago, back in medieval times, an evil spirit known as Spooky had terrorized all of Pac-Land. In response to this, the great Wizard Pac created a potion that turned 5 ordinary fruits into the "Golden Fruit." A young knight called Sir Pac-a-lot fought against Spooky and sealed him underneath a large tree using the Golden Fruit, which were attached to the branches of the tree. In the present time, late at night, Inky, Pinky, Blinky and Clyde sneak into the village and, in their mischief, pick the Golden Fruit off the tree in the center of town. Unfortunately, this releases Spooky from his prison. Spooky tells the ghosts to take the Golden Fruit and follow him if they wish to rid the land of the Pac-people forever. When Pac-Man awakens, he hears the news from Professor Pac about the Golden Fruit and Spooky, and sets off to defeat the ghosts and Spooky. After Pac-Man defeats the ghosts (who all used machines to stop him), he places the golden fruit back on the tree's branches. However, Spooky is still alive and tries to destroy Pac-Man. Harnessing the power of the Golden Fruit just as Sir Pac-a-lot had, Pac-Man re-imprisons Spooky and returns the Golden Fruit to where they belong. As the townsfolk are congratulating Pac-Man, the Ghosts plan to free Spooky again after hearing Spooky say his final words, "My ghosts will free me again!" Chomp-Chomp, overhearing the conversation, runs inside the house and eats some power pellets, turning the Ghosts blue. After realizing that, the Ghosts turned and fled, with Chomp-Chomp on their tails. He came back later and stood next to Pac-Man, with his lips stained blue.

In a search for power, a short evil genius called Erwin has found a way to suck raw energy out of the world of the Ghosts (the Spectral Realm). He has created a syphon that can penetrate into the Spectral Realm. This is causing the Spectral Realm to collapse into the real world (Pac-Land), bringing about an environmental catastrophe. Meanwhile, Pac-Man is celebrating his 25th birthday with his family when he is teleported by Orson, a former nemesis of Pac-Man from the Original Pac-Man World. Orson communicates to him and tells him about the Spectral Realm (after Pac-Man complains to Orson about messing up his party and throwing him into a trash pit). Pac-Man is attacked by fiery Spectral monsters of the orange, green, and purple varieties which have been driven mad by Erwin's hypnosis with Inky and Blinky (Clyde) have been kidnapped as part of Erwin's evil scheme, but Pinky and Clyde (Blinky) managed to escape.
