Pac-Man

Line 102:

*''Super Smash Bros. 4'' is not Pac-Man's first appearance in a crossover fighting game; he had previously appeared in ''{{S|wikipedia|Street Fighter x Tekken}}'' in a {{S|wikipedia|Mokujin}} mech, as an exclusive guest fighter on the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Vita versions. This game also features [[Ryu]] and [[Ken]] from the ''Street Fighter'' side, [[Kazuya]] from the ''Tekken'' side, as well as a version of [[Mega Man]] based on the North American box art of the original ''Mega Man'' game for the NES.

*Pac-Man has had several prior crossovers with Nintendo franchises (mainly Mario) before ''Super Smash Bros.'' He previously appeared in all three ''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' titles as a playable racer. In addition, Mario appeared as the announcer in the Nintendo-developed installment of his series, ''Pac-Man Vs.''

*Masahiro Sakurai stated in an interview that ~~he would have considered dropping~~ Pac-Man ~~from~~ ''Smash 4'' entirely if Namco didn't allow ~~them~~ to use ~~his~~ classic ~~design over his more modern ''Pac-Man & the Ghostly Adventures''~~ design.<ref>[http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/06/26/800/ Source Gaming: “My First Conception is My Landmark,” Sakurai’s Famitsu column vol. 456]</ref>

*Masahiro Sakurai stated in an interview that Namco initially wanted to use the ''Pac-Man & the Ghostly Adventures'' design for ''Smash 4''. He refused this request and would have considered dropping Pac-Man entirely if Namco didn't allow him to use the classic design.<ref>[http://www.sourcegaming.info/2015/06/26/800/ Source Gaming: “My First Conception is My Landmark,” Sakurai’s Famitsu column vol. 456]</ref> This inadvertantly killed all momentum for the ''Pac-Man & the Ghostly Adventures'' initiative and the reimagining was retired less than a year later.

*Pac-Man is one of the three playable third-party characters with no voice clips. The other ones are [[Mega Man]] and [[Steve]].

*Pac-Man and [[Kazuya]] are the only characters to have a [[taunt]] with an official name, with Pac-Man's being [[Namco Roulette]]. Incidentally, they are both owned by [[Bandai Namco]].
