Ms. PAC-MAN (alternatively written asMs. Pac-Man) is the wife ofPAC-MAN. She made her debut appearance inMs. PAC-MAN, a game originally created without the consent of the creators ofPAC-MAN,Namco, but eventually the rights to the character were partially handed over, and she has since appeared in otherPAC-MAN series games, becoming a staple to the series. However, her presence in the games diminished significantly in later years due to legal disputes.
She has made crossover appearances in twoSuper Mario titles to date,Mario Kart Arcade GP and its sequel,Mario Kart Arcade GP 2, along with her husband, PAC-MAN, and their arch-enemy,Blinky. Her racing stats differ slightly from PAC-MAN; she has better handling than him, but lower top speed (though inMario Kart Arcade GP 2 she is a speed character). Ms. PAC-MAN uses the same special items that PAC-MAN does:Pooka,Rally X, andGalaga Boss, which are references to other classic Namco titles.
She makes a cameo in her sprite form in thePAC-LAND stage inSuper Smash Bros. for Wii U andSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate.
