Power Pellet
Power Pellet is Pac-Man's side special move in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, based upon the items appearing in the Pac-Man series. When used, Pac-Man creates a trail of Pac-Dots from a Power Pellet, then charges forward, eating the pellets in a form resembling his classic form, damaging any opponents in his path. The player can travel farther by holding down the special attack button, and can adjust the direction of the trail of Pac-Dots by angling the control stick. Attacking Pac-Man at any point disrupts the move; the Power Pellet falls to the ground and can be used as a recovery item. If Pac-Man hits a wall or the ground after reaching the end of the trail, he trips.
The first of Pac-Man's two custom variants for this move is Distant Pellet, which allows Pac-Man to more quickly set a longer trail of Pac-Dots, but Pac-Man himself moves more slowly. The second is Enticing Power Pellet, which gives the Power Pellet itself a vacuum effect, but the trail is shorter and the move is slower.

These round, flashing items are found in all four corners of the stage. When PAC-MAN eats one, the normally fearsome ghosts turn blue and run off; that's PAC-MAN's cue to take them out. In Smash Bros., PAC-MAN eats a power pellet with his side special, sending him rushing in the direction he was facing. |
