Pac-Man's Side Special (パワーペレット, Power Pellet), currently unnamed in English, is Pac-Man's side special move in SSB4.
Overview
Pac-Man throws out an 8-bit Power Pellet, which is followed by several 8-bit pellets. The direction can be changed by moving the control stick, and when the B button is let go, Pac-Man turns into his ball form and follows the trail.
When Pac-Man consumes the Power Pellet, he will grow larger and travel a good distance past the Power Pellet's location, and will deal more damage than Pac-Man before consuming the Power Pellet.
If Pac-Man is interrupted before he gets to the Power Pellet, the Pellet will fall. The Pellet then can be used as a healing item.
Customization
Power Pellet can be customized into two variations. Both of these variations' name is unknown. Custom A makes the pellet trail take longer to deploy, but can extend to farther reaches. Custom B has an added pulling effect when the move is started up.
Origin
In the original Pac-Man, the main goal was to eat all the pellets in the maze, each of which always follows in a perfect line. Power Pellets appear on the stage and allow Pac-Man to eat ghosts. Similar chains appear in Pac-Man World series.
