Achievables #2: Ms. Pac-Man

Yes, there already exist achievements for the XBLA release of Ms. Pac-Man. In my opinion, they're not particularly creative.

Out of 200, 90 is for eating one of each fruit. A further 25 is for eating all 4 ghosts off a single power pellet, and 30 more for doing it 4 times in a stage. 65 rests on the ability to reach level 22. These achievements are only slightly different from those they gave to original Pac-Man. Furthermore, they violate a key rule which I've just made up:

At least one achievement name must attempt to be funny or clever.

So if I could do this whole thing over, here's what I've got:

Wakka
1 - Eat one dot.

Wakka Wakka
10 - Eat 1000 dots.

Wakka Wakka Wakka
25 - Eat 25,000 dots.

Wakka Wakka Wakka Wakka
50 - Eat half a million dots.

Power Up!
4 - Eat a power pellet.

Wakka Wakka Fruit
10 - Eat a fruit.

40 - Eat one of each type of fruit.

Wait, That's Not A Fruit
20 - Eat a pretzel.

30 - Consume all 4 power pellets on a level without consuming any ghosts.

10 - Consume all 4 ghosts in a single power pellet.

Total: 200
