Achievement

For the purpose of this achievement you must complete all in-game missions for Pac & Pal.
You will need to:

Score up to 50k points
Clear up to 15 rounds in 1 game
Defeat up to 15 ghosts in 1 game
Clear 20 rounds total
Defeat 50 Ghosts total

Completing 15 rounds in 1 game is what is going to stop most people from getting this but fortunately for achievement purposes if you "Return to Arcade" by pressing

once you die, you can choose to continue from the round you left off on. It will reset the level but you will get back your lives you lost on that level allowing you to try again. Save your lives for higher levels, and note that bonus levels count as a round. The continue screen will also tell you what round you're on if you forget. After completing round 15 you can then die die to complete the mission. Unfortunately this method will mess up your actual high score though :(

How to Play Pac & Pal

You still have to actually play this game though so if you are unfamiliar with it, or need some tips I'm providing additional info you can reveal below:

Instead of dots, you collect items which are locked behind doors. To open the doors you must flip over cards which will show images of the corresponding item. You may have up to 3 cards flipped at once.
You still need to avoid ghosts but you have a "Pal" ghost who is harmless to Pac-Man, and will attempt to take revealed items back to the ghost home.
Instead of power pellets, a level will have two special items that give Pac-Man super powers for a short time which will allow you to stun ghosts with

and make them passable.
A level is completed once all items are collected by either Pac-Man or Miru (your green pal) however you only get points by collecting items yourself and you can take them from Miru by catching her.
You get a perfect score by collecting every item yourself. Stunning ghosts scores the same as eating them in basic Pac-Man, and the key is the most valuable item.
Every few levels will be a bonus level where you simply reveal as many cards as you can without revealing the red ghost. Revealing Miru with double your final score for that round.

Tips

+For the purpose of this achievement score means nothing after 50k so you don't have to focus on getting perfect rounds. Don't go out of your way to get an item back from Miru if it's risky. Allow her to help you just beat the level.
+That said, Miru will always take the longest path back to the ghost home.
+Let Miru go pick up the further away items while you grab the close ones then take it from her when she brings it to you, or ignore her if you chose.
+The center has an orange upside down T junction that you can pass through to escape ghosts. You cannot see yourself in here, but ghosts will never use the vertical part of this path making escape easy. You can also juggle up and down in that vertical path if ghosts are both above and below you. Additionally, ghosts who enter this orange box are slowed.
+Ghosts always follow the same pattern for the given round, at least at the start. Therefore you can start to memorize the best optimal path to take at the start of rounds.
+Ghosts are less likely, but not incapable, of taking the "in-between" paths at the bottom of the map (those claw shaped junctions)
+You can actually go inside the ghost home. I would not recommend doing this though as it's quite difficult to escape a ghost inside here opposed to outside, but as a last resort, you can.
+VodkaFlockaFlme brought it to my attention that there is a trick to know where the red ghost is in the bonus round: "The ghost location in the bonus round is determined by the 10s digit in your score.
Number the ghosts vertically [from top left to bottom right] 1-10. If your score is 6740 then the ghost is the 4th card from the top."

The ghost location in the bonus round is determined by the 10s digit in your score.

Number the ghosts vertically 1-10. If your score is 6740 then the ghost is the 4th card from the top. If two ghosts are in the same position vertically the one on the left is first.

^^^ You can also just play and reveal the ghost, then hit X to return to arcade, continue the game now knowing where the ghost is and pick it up last. Also, the card locations will always be the same for each level, so memorizing where the power ups are is helpful.
