Oh, that’s very interesting. 😆 Though, it’s quite inconsistent last time I tried on my end.
It plays the animation even with the fruit being present, so this is still puzzling.
Edit: I cleared it with most of the pellets on screen (Including the Power Pellet), without the fruit on screen, most of the mini-ghosts trailing behind the Ghost Gals, and the bomb being on screen. Does not trigger the Game Over glitch. 🤨
… Is it lives related? (Ex: Win if you’re at 1 life remaining) I’m not too sure.
Probably because in the video, it was before the maze pattern looped back at the beginning (Ex: At classic maze, three bombs with no power pellets are the last round until it loop back at the first round)
Because when I tried it before it looped to the start, it never trigger the game over glitch no matter how many attempts I tried with different variations (Ex: 1 - 3 Lives, Mini-ghosts, no mini-ghosts, different clothes state, and how many mini-pellets, fruit, or power pellets are in the screen).
… Until I collected the fruit at the three bombs area, which loop back at the first pattern, then collect the red pellet and the Game over glitch triggers consistently.
