Biography
Pac-Man debuted in the arcade game, Pac-Man, in 1980. He initially began with few personality traits, reflecting his simplistic appearance in the games, but later installments in the franchise, such as Pac-Land and the Pac-Man World series, expand on the character and his backstory. In these games, he is a father with a large family that he deeply cares about, and he is characterized as a relatively laid-back hero who is willing to help wherever he is needed. His relationship with the ghosts—Blinky, Pinky, Inky, and Clyde—has also changed over the years: they have been depicted as archenemies, allies of circumstance, or even friendly rivals.
Due to his simplistic character, Pac-Man's personality can also vary between depictions. For example, Pac-Man World 3 shows him as somewhat flippant and sarcastic.
History
Mario Kart Arcade GP
Pac-Man makes his first crossover appearance in a Mario game as a playable character in the Namco-developed game, Mario Kart Arcade GP in 2006. In this title, Pac-Man is an all-around type character who shares a rivalry with Mario. His special items are Pooka, Rally X, and Boss Galaga, which are all based from other previous Namco classic titles. Other Pac-Man characters such as Blinky and Ms. Pac-Man also appear as playable. Race courses inspired by the Pac-Man series featured in the game include Pac-Labyrinth and Pac-Mountain.
Mario Kart Arcade GP 2
A year later in 2007, Namco developed Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 where Pac-Man returns as a playable character. The characters of Ms. Pac-Man and Blinky return, as well as the race tracks Pac-Labyrinth and Pac-Mountain.
Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U
Pac-Man returns as a newcomer in Super Smash Bros. 3DS/Wii U. This is going to be Pac-Man's first time playable in a Nintendo/Mario game outside the Mario Kart series.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Pac-Man reappeared in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate this time as an unlockable character.
Trivia
