The Ghosts (originally known as just "monsters") are the recurring enemies of Pac-Man. They have had many names but are mostly known as Blinky (red), Pinky (pink), Inky (cyan) and Clyde (orange).

In Super Smash Bros. 4

The Ghosts appear in three major capacities in these games.

As an Assist Trophy

When summoned via an Assist Trophy, the Ghosts exhibit similar behavior as they did in the original arcade game- Blinky takes the shortest route to nearby enemies, Pinky tries to move in front of them, Inky moves in a random direction away from enemies, and Clyde moves randomly.

As a moveset element

Pac-Man uses the Ghosts for his smash attacks, holding Blinky in front of him for his forward smash, Inky above him for his up smash, and Pinky and Clyde on either side of him for his down smash.

As a stage hazard

The Ghosts appear as hazards on the Pac-Maze stage. By collecting 100 Pac-Dots, a player can spawn a Power Pellet and thereby defeat the Ghosts.
