Examples of various sprites Pac-Man can summon with Namco Roulette.
Pac-Man summons a sprite and associated sound clip from one of Namco's other games. It is one of very few taunts with a random element, and the selection includes a wide range of characters and objects from across Namco's history.
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U both have exclusive sprites in each version; for 3DS includes the King from King & Balloon and a vulnerable ghost from Pac-Man, while for Wii U includes Valkyrie from Valkyrie no Densetsu, the Runner from Metro-Cross, and Andor Genesis from Xevious. All of the sprites from both for 3DS and for Wii U appear in Ultimate, with the addition of Heihachi Mishima from Tekken and The Prince of All Cosmos from Katamari Damacy.
The focus of King & Balloon is to save the King from hostile balloons by shooting them down. When rescued, he says "Thank you!", the same voice clip he uses here. The clip used is the one from the Japanese version of the game regardless of the game's language setting.
Heihachi Mishima and Gil appear as DLC Mii costumes in Smash 4 and Ultimate.
The first installment of The Prince of All Cosmos' game, Katamari Damacy, had its remake, Katamari Damacy Reroll, released on the Switch on the same day Super Smash Bros. Ultimate came out.
Don-Chan is the only character to appear in the roulette that does not have a pixelated appearance.
Namco Roulette is the only taunt in the entire series to have an official name.
