Namco Roulette (ナムコうらない, Namco Horoscope) is Pac-Man's up taunt in Super Smash Bros. 4 and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Overview

Pac-Man using Namco Roulette in SSB4.
Examples of various sprites Pac-Man can summon with Namco Roulette.

Pac-Man summons a sprite and associated sound clip from one of Namco's other games. It is one of very few taunts with a random element, and the selection includes a wide range of characters and objects from across Namco's history.

Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U both have exclusive sprites in each version; for 3DS includes the King from King & Balloon and a vulnerable ghost from Pac-Man, while for Wii U includes Valkyrie from Valkyrie no Densetsu, the Runner from Metro-Cross, and Andor Genesis from Xevious. All of the sprites from both for 3DS and for Wii U appear in Ultimate, with the addition of Heihachi Mishima from Tekken and The Prince of All Cosmos from Katamari Damacy.
