The Pac-Man stage is a stage set to appear in the Nintendo 3DS version of Super Smash Bros. 4.

Layout

The stage utilizes 8-bit graphics similar to Mario Bros., 75m, and Balloon Fight. It depicts several platforms in Pac-Man style. Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde move around the stage in their 8-bit forms; touching them will damage players. Pac-Dots are scattered around the stage, and can be collected by players, with a counter above their heads keeping track of how many they've collected thusfar. Fruit can also be collected, though it's not clear what effect it has. If a player collects 100 Pac-Dots, a Power Pellet appears on the stage. Players who grab the Power Pellet gain a red outline around them, and the ghosts on the stage turn will blue. While they will still damage other players who touch them, the ghosts can be eaten by the player who grabbed the Power Pellet, making them disappear off the arena.

Origin

The stage is, minus characters and items, in the same art style as the original Puck-Man for the arcade (later renamed Pac-Man when moved worldwide). The ghosts, Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde appear in the stage, and just like the games, can be consumed except for their eyeballs when a Power Pellet is touched. In the original game's release, Pac-Dots and Power Pellets were known as cookies and super cookies, respectively, both of which appear in the stage. Incidentially they were the very first instance of power-ups in any video game. Cherries will also appear similar to this game.
