The items cycle in the same order they do in the original arcade game: Cherry, Strawberry, Orange, Apple, Melon, Boss Galaxian, Bell, and Key. Pac-Man cannot cycle past the key, and will instead put the key away for later use. After reaching the Orange, each item takes longer to charge. | ||
Pac-Man can save his selected fruit by shielding, jumping, or dodging, and continues to cycle starting from the last fruit he selected by holding the special button (tapping it will instead use the stored fruit). On the ground, Pac-Man can quickly interrupt the charging process by tapping the shield button. Interrupting the charge in midair in this manner is significantly more difficult, though the player can also [[air dodge]] to cancel the charge. During the charging process, opponents can attack the item, which causes [[hitlag]] but no other effects; however, this allows charging fruits to cancel [[projectile]]s. Additionally, as each fruit cycle is considered a new item, this can cause strange interactions when they collide with other items that do not disappear after one hit (such as a [[Gyro]]), as the opposing item will collide and seemingly "hover" in place as it experiences hitlag hitting each cycling fruit. | Pac-Man can save his selected fruit by shielding, jumping, or dodging, and continues to cycle starting from the last fruit he selected by holding the special button (tapping it will instead use the stored fruit).

# '''Bonus Fruit''': Default. | # '''Bonus Fruit''': Default. | ||
# '''Freaky Fruit''': Gives the fruit awkward and sporadic behavior, making them harder to avoid, at the cost of less damage. Also takes slightly longer to cycle past the orange. With the exception of the Boss Galaxian and Bell, all fruits disappear immediately on hit, preventing fruit-grabbing after hitting an opponent. | # '''Freaky Fruit''': Gives the fruit awkward and sporadic behavior, making them harder to avoid, at the cost of less damage.

Bonus fruits are one of the staples of the {{uv|Pac-Man}} games, inspired by the fruit symbols on {{s|wikipedia|slot machine}}s. In the original arcade game, they appear near the ghost's lair, and vanish after a set time. Consuming one yields bonus points depending on the fruit. The fruits in the original ''Pac-Man'' are, in order: Cherry, Strawberry, Orange, Apple, Melon, Boss Galaxian, Bell, and Key. Upon reaching the Key, the fruit no longer changes for the remainder of the game. In the original arcade game, after reaching Orange, the fruit begins changing every other level rather than every level (meaning Orange appears for two levels, then Apple for two levels, and so on). This is reflected in Bonus Fruit by having its charge time double once it reaches Orange. | Bonus fruits are one of the staples of the {{uv|Pac-Man}} games, inspired by the fruit symbols on {{s|wikipedia|slot machine}}s.

The | The paralyzing effect and sound effect of the Bell comes from the bell in {{uvm3|Mappy}},<ref>[https://youtu.be/3R_AVj4jxgY?t=506 Origin Of Bell's Effect]</ref> which would make any enemies freeze momentarily in place on contact. | ||

The concept of the move, and the animation showing Pac-Man in thought while selecting, may be influenced by a special move used by the robot maid Tesse in the {{iw|wikipedia|Sunsoft}} fighting game ''{{iw|wikipedia|Waku Waku 7}}'', where she would decide between a set of 8 household items and animals in a thought bubble then throw the one chosen as a projecitle, each with its own arc and speed. | The concept of the move, and the animation showing Pac-Man in thought while selecting, may be influenced by a special move used by the robot maid Tesse in the {{iw|wikipedia|Sunsoft}} fighting game ''{{iw|wikipedia|Waku Waku 7}}'', where she would decide between a set of 8 household items and animals in a thought bubble then throw the one chosen as a projecitle, each with its own arc and speed. | ||
