Pac-Man (パックマン, Pacman), also stylized PAC-MAN, is the main character in the eponymous Pac-Man series by Namco.

Character description

Pac-Man debuted in the arcade game, Pac-Man, in 1980. He initially began with few personality traits, reflecting his simplistic appearance in the games, but later installments in the series such as Pac-Land and Pac-Man World expand on the character and his backstory; in these games, he is shown to have a large family that he deeply cares about, and he is characterized as a relatively laid-back hero who is willing to help wherever he's needed. His relationship with his enemies Blinky, Pinky, Inky & Clyde has also changed over the years from being arch enemies, to allies of circumstance or even friendly rivalry.

PAC-MAN (Alt.)

PAC-MAN's Fire Hydrant down special pushes opponents away with blasts of water. You can drop the hydrant on top of your opponents to damage them, but they can also attack it to damage you if you're standing on it! His Pac-Jump up special spawns a trampoline he can jump on three times—the third jump is especially high!

Trivia

• Shigeru Miyamoto requested Pac-Man to be playable in Super Smash Bros. Brawl, but Masahiro Sakurai, thinking of Pac-Man's pizza shape, thought it was far-fetched at the time.
• Pac-Man's appeared as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. 4 after 34 years from his debut, the largest gap of any playable character in the Smash series.
• Super Smash Bros. 4 is not Pac-Man's first appearance in a crossover fighting game; he had previously appeared in Street Fighter x Tekken, which also featured Ryu and a parody version of Mega Man.
• Masahiro Sakurai stated in an interview that he would have considered dropping the character from the game entirely if Namco didn't allow them to use his classic/World design over his more modern Pac-Man & the Ghostly Adventures design.
