The items cycle in the same order they do in the original arcade game: Cherry, Strawberry, Orange, Apple, Melon, 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).

Thrown items can be caught out of the air (by opponents as well as by Pac-Man), and can be picked up while traveling or if they land on the ground, though they disappear quickly if left alone; if they collide with hitboxes (such as players or [[Fire Hydrant]]), they will pop upwards and disappear much quicker. If they have already been thrown normally as an item and do not collide with any hitboxes, the user cannot regrab the thrown item. | Thrown items can be caught out of the air (by opponents as well as by Pac-Man), and can be picked up while traveling or if they land on the ground, though they disappear quickly if left alone; if they collide with hitboxes (such as players or [[Fire Hydrant]]), they will pop upwards and disappear much quicker.

Their trajectories can be affected by exterior [[push]] sources, most notably from Fire Hydrant's water. If thrown in different angles as caught items, they behave in unique ways due to them still following their programmed behaviors, such as the Melon staying in place and drifting down slowly. | ||
In ''Smash 4'', all Bonus Fruit variants can be re-caught and will not disappear for around 3 seconds upon coming to a rest if dropped from the air. In addition, each fruit bounces twice and has their "lifetime" refreshed upon each re-catch, giving Pac-Man a powerful and lasting item game once a fruit is caught. It is possible to accomplish several feats with proper technical skill (such as using the key to start [[zero-death]], [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bEVDvfzcvXU infinite footstool combos]). A compiled guide to re-catch every Bonus Fruit on competitively legal stages can be found [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lp3P7aJ_1dY here]. | In ''Smash 4'', all Bonus Fruit variants can be re-caught and will not disappear for around 3 seconds upon coming to a rest if dropped from the air.

Bonus fruits are one of the staples of the {{uv|Pac-Man}} games. In the original arcade game, they appear near the ghost's lair, and vanish after a set time.

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, Galaxian Starship, 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. | ||
