Pac-Man (パックマン, Pakkuman) has been confirmed to be a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. 4, revealed on June 10th on Nintendo of America's Twitter account.[1] His abilities involve throwing fruits at other fighters and eating power pellets, along with basic punching and kicking abilities for close-range moves.[2] He is noted within the trailer for being, along with Mr. Game & Watch, among the oldest characters in the game, first appearing in 1980 (earlier than Mario's debut in Donkey Kong). While Pac-Man is introduced in his classic "wedge" shape, within the game he mostly takes his 3D "ball" form that appeared in game cabinet artwork and advertising but first appeared in-game in the Japanese version of Pac-Land.
Moves
- Bonus Fruit, a move where he summons 8-bit fruit. This has been confirmed to be his neutral special. [3]
- A move where he turns into his ball form and chomps on a chain of pac-dots. The player appears to be able to control the path of the dots, therefore controlling the direction of the move.
- A move where he spawns a Fire Hydrant that shoots water with a push effect. It can also be launched with an attack into players.
- A jab consisting of two punches followed by a kick.
- His up air appears to be the aerial flip kick from Pac-Man World 2.
- Turns into his ball form and dashes forward, possibly a dash attack.
- Multiple moves that spawn 8-bit ghosts.
- A move where a tractor beam is emitted from Pac-Man's hand, with an appearance similar to those of the Galagan Bugs.
- A move where Pac-Man spawns a trampoline that can be bounced on by other players, similarly to Sonic's Spring Jump and Mega Man's Rush Coil.
- The trampoline seems to change color each time it is used, moving through green, yellow, and red. This is similar to trampolines appearing in another Namco game, Mappy.
- A move or taunt where he summons classic Namco items, characters, and enemies, similar to Bonus Fruit.
- A move, most likely a directional final smash, where Pac-Man turns into a giant 2-D version of his 8-bit form and goes straight forward.
- He seems to have items from other Namco games such as Galaga, Galaxian, Mappy, Dig Dug, and Xevious.
- Pac-Man can wall-jump. [4]

Trivia
- Pac-Man's trailer is the first newcomer trailer that shows footage of a newcomer on the 3DS version.
- Pac-Man is the oldest third-party character to appear in a Super Smash Bros. game.
- Overall, he is the second oldest Super Smash Bros. character, as his debut was one month (in Japan; 6 months in North America) after Mr. Game & Watch's debut.
