Character description
Pac-Man debuted in the arcade game, Pac-Man, in 1980. He initially began with few personality traits, reflecting his simplistic appearance in the games, but later installments in the series such as Pac-Land and Pac-Man World expand on the character and his backstory; in these games, he is shown to have a large family that he deeply cares about, and he is characterised as a relatively laid-back hero who is willing to help wherever he's needed.
In Super Smash Bros. 4
- Main article: Pac-Man (SSB4)
