Clearing an entire side of the maze of dots will cause a fruit item to appear, and eating it will cause a new maze to appear on the opposite side.
Development of ''Championship Edition'' was headed by director Tadashi Iguchi, alongside producer Nobutaka Nakajima and designer and the father of Pac-Man, [[Toru Iwatani]], the original creator of ''Pac-Man'' — ''Championship Edition'' was the final game he designed. Unhappy with earlier attempts to remake ''Pac-Man'' for removing many of the common elements present in the original, the development team focused on taking the original concept and expanding on two core features: the game speed and new mazes, which they felt would be the best way to "modernize" it. Iguchi was not much of a ''Pac-Man'' fan, spending much of his time thinking about how hardcore ''Pac-Man'' fans would react to the game's new features and ideas. It was chosen to make the game feel like an arcade game, due to it being released for the [[Xbox Live Arcade]] service.
