Pac-Man can also make characters and items from other Namco series appear by using his up taunt, Namco Roulette, and his neutral special, Bonus Fruit. Boss Galagas, a type of enemy in Namco's Galaga series, as well the Special Flag, a collectible from numerous Namco games, also appear in Super Smash Bros. 4. A Mii Fighter costume based on Heihachi Mishima of the Tekken series (specifically, his youthful appearance in Tekken Tag Tournament 2) is available as downloadable content.
Very early in the conceptual phase for SSB4, Sakurai briefly contemplated the inclusion of other Namco characters, though the decision to go with Pac-Man only almost immediately. In particular, he named Tekken's Heihachi as a character who came to mind, but wrote him off as his complex moveset would have been too difficult to effectively translate to Smash Bros.[2]
