Only found this online but it’s for the original PS1 version: “Pac-Man can gain extra lives by collecting gold 1UP Pac-Man items, by earning them in the slot machine at the end of every level or for every 10,000 points scored at the results screen.”
But I don’t know what these gold 1UP Pac-Man items look like or how to recognise them, couldn’t find a pic or any more information on it. Does it mean the gold coins you collect during a level? I thought those were for using in the slot machine.
Also does it mean you can only get lives at the end of the level or is there a way to get lives during the progression of a level as well?
And what does it mean the results screen, can we earn lives by getting 10,000 points while playing a level or only after finishing it?
Wikipedia says this: “He can find small fractions of health to replenish it in levels, as well as extra lives.”
I was wondering if we can get new lives by collecting more fractions of health once we already have full health, but not sure. And if there is a separate in-level collectible that grants you a full life, what it looks like.
That’s never happened to me yet. But I would hope we just have to start the level again from the beginning (without checkpoints) and we lose the progress we made on it for that attempt, á la Crash Bandicoot. I doubt they would make you start the whole game again like the original Kao the Kangaroo (if you don’t manually save), that would be brutal.

Are live limited in the game? What happens if you lose all the lives?
