Pac-Man (パックマン, Pac-Man) is a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Changes from Super Smash Bros. 4

Aesthetics

• While retaining his retro design from Smash 4, Pac-Man's color scheme has been slightly dulled to better resemble the colors of games from older generations.
• Like most of the cast, Pac-Man is more expressive, now not being limited to simply smiling and surprised expressions. He now shows an angry look when using smash attacks.

Ground attacks

• Dash attack now hits four times instead of three.
• Pac-Man has a new up tilt, a quick upwards punch. It appears to have more vertical range but less horizontal reach.

Throws/other attacks

• Pac-Man's grab appears to have significantly less ending lag.
• Pummel is faster but deals less damage.
• If the grab misses, Pac-Man will look dissapointed.

Special moves

• Bonus Fruit cycles significantly faster.
• Pac-Man's afterimages when using Power Pellet now go from yellow to orange and then red. Pac-Man also flashes white and red after eating the power pellet.
• Pac-Jump's trampoline appears to be vulnerable to attacks, using up a use on hit.
• Pac-Jump's trampoline now turns green whenever it is attacked.
• Pac-Jump's trampoline now causes any opponents that aren't the user to always fall helpless, regardless of the number of uses left on the trampoline itself.
• The blobs of water fired by Fire Hydrant can now be attacked and destroyed, even by Pac-Man himself. While this allows Pac-Man to avoid making careless mistakes while maneuvering around the Hydrant, it also allows opponents to disrupt water-based setups.
• Pac-Man's Final Smash, Super Pac-Man, has been changed. Pac-Man still transforms into a two-dimensional sprite, but the move behaves entirely differently. Pac-Man instead moves in straight paths across the screen, disappearing off-screen and reappearing on the opposite side of the screen. He still damages and launches any enemy he makes contact with, and launched enemies still turn into floating eyes. Aesthetically, the move resembles Pac-Man Championship Edition 2, featuring pulsating lights in the background and rising pitch with each consecutive enemy eaten.
