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.


{{for3ds}} and {{forwiiu}} 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''.

==Trivia==
*TURN-TO-BLUE, Heihachi Mishima, Pooka, and Gil are the only characters on the roulette to have an appearance in ''Smash'' outside of Pac-Man's taunt.
**TURN-TO-BLUE appears on [[Pac-Maze]] and as a [[Spirit]]; the [[Ghosts]] also turn to blue when their [[Assist Trophy]] is defeated in ''Ultimate''.
**[[Pooka]] appear as enemies in [[Smash Run]].
**Heihachi Mishima and Gil appear as DLC Mii costumes in ''Smash 4'' and ''Ultimate''. Heihachi also appears in the background of [[Mishima Dojo]].
*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 first taunt in the series to have an official name, later followed by the side taunt of fellow Namco character {{SSBU|Kazuya}}, called Demon's Wrath.
*Valkyrie, Heihachi Mishima, Don-Chan, and The Prince of All Cosmos are the only characters to appear in the roulette accompanied by non-8-bit sound effects.
*While the mirrored Pac-Man in [[Wii Fit Studio]] performs the Namco Roulette animation, no sprites will appear at all. This creates a visual oddity where the sprites do not have a reflection.
