The Second Part of Anubis Rex
Anubis Rex as seen in Pac-Man World Repac
Anubis Rex is a two-part level in Pac-Man World. It is the seventh level in the game, and the last stage in the Ruins Area, out of three. (Which is unique, because all other areas have four levels, although this may be made up for with the two part in Anubis Rex.) The first part of the level is a long stretch in a temple with a hand of a mummy chasing Pac-Man through the whole level. This would be simple, but there are holes in the floor that shoot arrows out of them. The only other hazard in this level is a gate that smashes up and down. After getting through the second opening door, the second part of the level begins. In this part, Pac-Man is teleported to an area surrounded by lava. In the center, there is a huge temple/statue with it's hands closed together, and a colored diamond on its head. On each side, there are two Rev Platforms. Pac-Man needs to Rev Roll on all four of these in order for the temple to move his hands to open the path to his heart. Pac-Man then must Rev Roll into this in order for the temple to take damage. This would be easy if there wasn't any hazards. This boss is considered by many fans the second most difficult boss in the Pac-Man World series, alongside Clyde In The Caldera in Pac Man World 2, and third most difficult boss is King Galaxian.

Hazards[]
This stage adds another hazard every time Pac-Man hits the temple's heart. When the temple's diamond is yellow, (first time) there will be fireballs flying between the four Rev Platforms that can intercept Pac-Man when he is jumping from one place to another. When his diamond turns green, (second time) the temple sends black tornadoes out to follow Pac-Man, and pick him up. When the diamond turns pink, (third time) fireballs start to land on the Rev Platforms, and in the center, right in front of the temple. When the diamond turns blue, (final time) the temple shoots beams of energy out of the blue diamond, either from left to right, or right to left. With all of these things happening at the same time, the fight can get quite difficult.
The Anubis Rex's face can also not be touched at any point; should Pac-Man jump onto his hands and come into contact with his face, he will instantly die, regardless of how much health he has.
RePac[]
Once Pac-Man comes walking up to a temple of Anubis Rex, Toc-Man appears and places the missing yellow diamond on the temple's head causing it to come to life as it slams both of his fists. 4 platforms connected to the main ground and Pac-Man needs to Rev Roll on all four of these in order for the shield to deactivate that is protecting his heart. As he changes diamonds, Anubis will slam the ground and destroy some of the blocks making it harder for avoiding hazards, enemies, and not to fall in lava. When the temple's diamond is yellow, (first time) the temple will fire a fireball that flies towards Pac-Man and there will be a mummy in the middle of the ground. When his diamond turns blue, (second time) the temple will occasionally slam one of his fist raining fireballs directly on the Rev Platforms, fires 2 fireballs at Pac-Man sometimes, and 2 mummies will be on the ground. When his diamond turns green, (third time) the temple sends a tornado out to follow Pac-Man, and pick him up, fires 2 fireballs all the time now, and a mummy would be summoned on the rev platform. When the diamond turns pink, (final time) the temple will target at Pac-Man as he now charges up and fire a large laser at him, more fireballs will rain down on rev platforms when the temple slams one of his fists, fires 2 tornadoes, and 3 mummies will be summoned on the ground. Once Pac-Man hits his heart the forth and final time, Anubis blows up into little pieces and random fruits and dots will appear from the lava and on to the middle of the ground.

Trivia[]
- The fact that the the boss bares the name and resemblance "Anubis", who's god of the underworld, it actually makes sense why the Mummy is used in the first half of it's level and possibly why it kidnaps Pac dog. This might even explain why it's so infamously difficult, as it's technically the "god of death".
- When the level begins, a checkpoint is automatically obtained. (This happens again in Gimmie Space.)
- The boss' infamy is likely due to it's tendency to be completely unpredictable, poor hitboxes on his attacks and the Rev Platforms, under a strict time limit and cluttered with hazards as the battle continues; many mechanics that are not seen with the other bosses (with the minor exception of Krome Keeper, as his battle also uses a time limit).
