Fixing butt bounce - More like the original!
By Chato Maltés
The remake adds a delay to your butt bounce that stops you and your momentum the first three bounces you do in a sequence. Through the magic of CheatEngine, you can reduce it to just *one* delay.

The fix

Pac-Man World Re-Pac is a great remake, but added a very annoying feature: the butt bounce now has a delay that stops you mid air the first three butt bounces you do in a sequence. This was likely done to make controls less loose for less experienced players.

Experimenting with Cheat Engine, I found that you can trick the game into thinking you're already on your fourth, fith... butt bounce. That way, now you only have a delay the first butt bounce you do and the rest is delay-free. Helps tremendously to keep momentum going and makes the game flow better.

I haven't found a way to remove the first delay as that's probably more tricky as you're transitioning from a regular jump to a bounce state and that likely has a lot more scripts going on. Still, this is already a huge improvement and it makes me hopeful we can apply a similar patch to Re-Pac 2.

@76561199485408549 tried looking into through Cheat Engine but no luck. It'd probably require someone to patch the ROM inside the game since it's supposedly an emulated game within the game.
