Bandai Namco's mascot, {{SSB4|Pac-Man}}, appears as a playable character. Pac-Man can also make characters and items from other Namco series appear by using his up taunt, Namco Roulette, and his neutral special, [[Bonus Fruit]]. [[Boss Galaga]]s, a type of enemy in Namco's ''Galaga'' series, as well the [[Special Flag]], a collectible from numerous Namco games, also appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' as [[item]]s. {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}} costumes based on [[Heihachi Mishima]] of the {{uvn|Tekken}} series, [[Lloyd Irving]] of the {{uvn|Tales}} series, and [[Gil]] from ''The Tower of Druaga'' are available as [[downloadable content]].

Pac-Man can also make characters and items from other Namco series appear by using his up taunt, Namco Roulette, and his neutral special, [[Bonus Fruit]]. The 3DS version features the stage [[Pac-Maze]], which essentially simulates a game of Pac-Man, allowing each player to collect Pac-Dots and Power Pellets, run from and chase Ghosts. It even saves their high score and displays it at the top of the screen. In the Wii U version, the stage [[Pac-Land]] appears, based on the arcade game of the same name, and the Ghosts appear as an [[Assist Trophy]] rather than a stage hazard. [[Boss Galaga]]s, a type of enemy in Namco's ''Galaga'' series, as well the [[Special Flag]], a collectible from numerous Namco games, also appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]'' as [[item]]s. {{SSB4|Mii Fighter}} costumes based on [[Heihachi Mishima]] of the {{uvn|Tekken}} series, [[Lloyd Irving]] of the {{uvn|Tales}} series, and [[Gil]] from ''The Tower of Druaga'' are available as [[downloadable content]].


Very early in the conceptual phase for ''SSB4'', Sakurai briefly contemplated the inclusion of other Namco characters, though made the decision to go with Pac-Man only almost immediately. In particular, he named ''Tekken'''s Heihachi as a character who came to mind, but wrote him off as his complex moveset would have been too difficult to effectively translate to ''Smash Bros''.<ref>[https://sourcegaming.wordpress.com/2015/06/26/800/ "My First Conception is My Landmark," Sakurai’s Famitsu column vol. 456] Source Gaming</ref>
