The World's Largest Pac-Man is an arcade game, developed by Raw Thrills and released in 2016 by Bandai Namco Amusement. It is an enhanced version of the original Pac-Man. The cabinet also plays Galaga, and the machine can be set to play either of them or only one of them; however, Galaga does not seem to be enhanced in any way.

Gameplay
Gameplay is identical to the classic with some additions:

A second player is able to play simultaneously, similarly to the 1996 version of Pac-Man Arrangement. The second player even plays as a Green Pac-Man.
The maze cycles through colors throughout gameplay.
When 2 players play together, a light colored string will connect to the 2 Pac-Men to the bottom left and right corners to help remind players who's playing as who.
A high score table is shown for every maze level, not just after getting a game over.
The screen is enormous, made entirely of LED lights.
Companies and businesses can upload photos into the machine for them to be advertised during Attract mode.
Both games have continue screens, where the player can pay for an extra game and continue where they got a game over at.
Instead of spawning at the center of the maze, Fruit will hop around the maze like it did in Ms. Pac-Man. The fruit will also cycle through different fruits, each one being a different point value.
At the end of a maze, point are totaled up between players, and whoever got the most points is labeled the winner. This is nearly identical to Pac-Man Arrangement '96's multiplayer score screen.

Trivia
If the player gets a high score and enters their name as profanity, it will be replaced with one of the ghosts' names.
In 2019, a "World's Largest Frogger" game was test-marketed by Raw Thrills, seemingly intended as a conversion kit for the World's Largest Pac-Man machines. However, this Frogger kit was ultimately never released
