Pac-Land (パックランド, Pakkurando) is a stage set to appear in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Layout

Similar to Mushroomy Kingdom from Brawl and 3D Land from the 3DS version, it is a side scrolling stage. At least one location from the game will appear, which is the town level. It is unknown if or what other locations from the game appear. The town section features fire hydrants, which could damage players in the original game, though it is not clear whether they have the same effect in this stage.

Origin

The stage is based off of the arcade game, Pac-Land. The game was a side-scroller where one would go through three levels to bring a fairy to its home and then go through a level incorporating elements of the last three in the opposite direction to get home. The game is notable for being one of the first to use parallax scrolling (where the foreground and background move at different speeds to simulate perspective.), long before it became a gaming mainstay in the 16 bit era, and also the first game to feature the more anthropomorphic design of Pac-Man in-game. Interestingly, the version published by Midway in the United States featured the character designs from the Hanna-Barbera Pac-Man cartoon. Pac-Land was later used in future Pac-Man games, yet with different designs. It's most notable modern appearance is in the second installment of the Pac-Man World trilogy being Pac-Man World 2.
