![]() ![]() This disrobed sprite was not reused in any later Pac-Man games, but was seen in a few of the unlicensed bootlegs. After both Pac-Man and Shadow exit to the left, Shadow immediately reappears from the left, appearing disrobed and dragging his clothing on the floor behind him. Pac-Mania added two new ghosts to Pac-Man’s rogue gallery: Funky and (ahem) Spunky. Intermission III: Pac-Man enters from the right, followed closely by Shadow (Blinky), whose torn "clothing" is clearly sewn back together.Shadow, whose foot is now visible, looks at the nail and then rolls his eyes. Shadow's "clothing" gets caught on the nail as he passes by it, and the bottom right corner tears off, stuck to the nail. This time, there is a nail sticking out in the path that Pac-Man and Shadow are crossing. Intermission II: Pac-Man enters from the right, followed closely by Shadow (Blinky).This super version would officially appear in Super Pac-Man. Blinky reappears from the left as a scared (blue) ghost, followed immediately by a much larger "super" version of Pac-Man. Intermission I: Pac-Man enters from the right, followed closely by Shadow (Blinky).Intermission I is seen after Round 2, Intermission II is seen after Round 5 and Intermission III is seen after Rounds 9, 13 and 17. Not only did the intermissions provide a chance to rest, they provided a bit of humor. Pac-Man was one of the first games to provide players with a break from the action in the form of short intermissions, known better today as cut-scenes. When Pac-Man is moving or facing up, the spot Bashful uses to draw the line is two squares above and left of Pac-Man. Bashful is affected by a similar targeting bug that affects Speedy. But if Bashful is in front of Pac-Man when Shadow is far behind him, Bashful tends to want to move away from Pac-Man (in reality, to a point very far ahead of Pac-Man). Therefore, if Bashful is alongside Shadow when they are behind Pac-Man, Bashful will usually follow Shadow the whole time. Bashful draws a line from Shadow to the spot that is two squares in front of Pac-Man and extends that line twice as far. When the ghosts are not patrolling their home corners, Bashful considers two things: Shadow's location, and the location two grid spaces ahead of Pac-Man. Characters that have appeared in Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures. In Japan, his name is Kimagure/Aosuke.ĪI: Bashful has the most complicated AI of all. He can't be scared off while he patrols the southeast portion of the maze. This isn't always the case, but if Blinky is right behind you, it's a safe bet. In a game of chicken between Pac-Man and Bashful, Bashful might just run away. In 1999, the USA division of Namco & Namco Hometech developed the Pac-Man World series and declared Pinky to be female. Note: In the original arcade series, the ghosts' genders are unspecified and assumed to be male. Pinky is affected by a targeting bug if Pac-Man is facing up - when he moves or faces up, Pinky tries moving towards a point up, and left, four spaces. Moving towards this place uses the same logic that Blinky uses to find Pac-Man's exact location. If Pac-Man is facing down, Pinky wants to go to the location exactly four spaces below Pac-Man. In the original Japanese version, his name is Machibuse/Pinky.ĪI: When the ghosts are not patrolling their home corners, Pinky wants to go to the place that is four grid spaces ahead of Pac-Man in the direction that Pac-Man is facing. If Pinky is coming at you and you face a different direction, even briefly, he may just turn away and attempt to cut you off in the new direction while you return to your original direction. It's difficult to use this to your advantage, but it's possible. The truth behind this is that when Speedy isn't patrolling the top-left corner of the maze, he tries to attack Pac-Man by moving to where he is going to be (that is, a few spaces ahead of Pac-Man's current direction) instead of right where he is, as Blinky does. Speedy appears to try to outsmart Pac-Man and crash into Pac-Man from the opposite direction. ![]() ![]() Speedy gets his name for an unusual reason. No Pets Allowed.Especially Monsters!
