Bonus Fruit (フルーツターゲット, Fruits Target) is Pac-Man's neutral special move in Super Smash Bros. 4.

Overview

Pac-Man holds out a bonus item from his original appearance and cycles through them, starting at the iconic Cherry. The items cycle in the same order they do in the original arcade game: Cherry, Strawberry, Orange, Apple, Melon, Galaxian, Key, and Bell. After reaching the Orange, each item takes longer to charge. Pac-Man can save his selected fruit by shield dodging, similar to how Samus can save a charged shot. This fruit can be used by using the move again. Once an item is selected, Pac-Man throws the item as a projectile, with each one having unique properties when thrown.

Fruit	Properties
Cherry	Bounces twice before disappearing.
Strawberry	Bounces three times before disappearing.
Orange	Travels in a straight line.
Apple	Bounces across the floor, and can travel a far distance.
Melon	Travels slowly, but inflicts more damage and considerable knockback.
Galaxian	Does a quick shuttle loop before continuing to fly off either straight ahead or in a 45 degree angle upward from the direction it was thrown.
Bell	Travels in a high arc before suddenly stopping short and falling straight down.
Key	Travels quickly in a straight line.

Customization

Bonus Fruit can be customized into two variations. One of them is currently unnamed, and the other is Lazy Fruit. Bonus Fruit's first custom gives the fruit different properties, such as cherries bouncing across the floor, and strawberries knocking opponents towards Pac-Man. Lazy Fruit slows the time it takes for the fruit to cycle through.

Origin

Bonus fruits in Pac-Man.

Bonus fruits are one of the staples of the Pac-Man arcade games. They appear near the ghost's lair in most games, and vanish after a set time. Consuming one yields bonus points depending on the fruit. The fruits in the original Pac-Man are, in order: Cherry, Strawberry, Orange, Apple, Melon, Galaxian Starship, Bell, and Key. Upon reaching the Key, the fruit no longer changes for the remainder of the game. In the original arcade game, after reaching Orange, the fruit begins changing every other level rather than every level (meaning Orange appears for two levels, then Apple for two levels, and so on). This is reflected in Bonus Fruit by having its charge time double once it reaches Orange.
