He was classified as a heavyweight racer in the first two games and as a middleweight character in the third game. His special items in the first game (shared with Ms. Pac-Man), are the Power Pill, Pooka, Rally-X and Galaga Boss. A [[Mii]] Racing Outfit based on Pac-Man's appearance (and sporting his sprite) could also be unlocked by scanning his amiibo in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. Pac-Man has also appeared as a possible [[Mystery Mushroom]] costume (based on his sprite from ''Pac-Land'') in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' that could be unlocked as a random prize for completing a 100 Mario Challenge on Expert or harder, or by scanning an amiibo of Pac-Man.

In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'' and ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'', Pac-Man appears as a playable fighter. A variety of his moves are loosely based on his actions in the ''Pac-Man'' games, but he also has moves referencing other Namco games (such as one which can summon Galaxian Starships) and can throw the ghosts from his game as his Smash attacks. His Final Smash, known as Super Pac-Man, has him transforming into a giant 2-D version of his 8-bit self and chomping at the players onscreen, similar to when he attacks the ghosts in the original games. | In ''Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS/Wii U'' and ''Super Smash Bros.
