though the arcade does list "blinky", etc as the nickname as "shadow", etc as the character, it seems most modern material goes with "blinky", etc being the real name and the "character" being more of a descriptor

 In ''Smash'', their depiction is based off of the 8-bit sprites from the original ''Pac-Man''. All four of them have unique personalities and movement patterns, which are recreated in their Assist Trophy:
-*Shadow is the red leader of the ghosts, nicknamed "Blinky". His movement pattern involves chasing Pac-Man aggressively, often trailing directly behind him; he also receives a speed boost twice per round. As a result, his later appearances are often characterized as hot-headed, determined, and conceited. His name is occasionally switched with Clyde, making Blinky the cowardly orange ghost.

As a result, his later appearances are often characterized as hot-headed, determined, and conceited. His name is occasionally switched with Clyde, making Blinky the cowardly orange ghost.
-*Speedy is the pink ghost, nicknamed "Pinky". Her movement pattern involves getting ahead of Pac-Man and ambushing him in collaboration with Blinky. She is generally shown to be sly and cunning, and she harbors an unrequited crush on Pac-Man. In the Hanna-Barbera cartoon, Pinky is male and portrayed as the strongest but least intelligent of the ghosts.

-*Bashful is the cyan ghost, nicknamed "Inky". His movement pattern involves aiming for a location based on Blinky's distance from Pac-Man, generally resulting in him shying away from the two. In later appearances, he is often portrayed as clumsy and timid.

-*Pokey is the orange ghost, nicknamed "Clyde". His movement pattern involves mimicking Blinky's movement until reaching a certain distance from Pac-Man, then retreating to the bottom-left corner of the stage. In later appearances, he is generally depicted as an easygoing, cowardly ghost. His name is occasionally switched with Blinky, making Clyde the aggressive red ghost.
