Blinky is one of Pac-Man's recurring ghost enemies. Blinky is the red ghost and was first seen as one of the ghosts in the original Pac-Man. Blinky and the ghosts appear in numerous games causing trouble for Pac-Man and his friends. In Pac-Man World 3, however, Blinky and Inky were captured by the evil scientist Erwin, who wanted to drain all the energy from the ghosts' world. This led to Pac-Man teaming up with the remaining ghosts, Pinky and Clyde, to save them.

Blinky is playable in both Mario Kart Arcade GP and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 as a lightweight character. His special items in the first game are the Petit Monster, Monster's Hammer, Flare Ball and Ghost Morph.

Ms. Pac-Man

Ms. Pac-Man is the wife of Pac-Man. She first appears as the protagonist of Ms. Pac-Man in which she battles ghosts in a maze similar to Pac-Man in the original Pac-Man game. Afterwards, she became mostly a supporting character in the Pac-Man games. She also starred in the 2000 game Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness in which she defeated the evil witch Mesmerelda with the aid of Professor Pac. She and Pac-Man have had two children, Pac-Jr. and Baby Pac.

Pac-Man

First Appearance: Pac-Man (1979)

Pac-Man is the spherical creature who is the protagonist of the Pac-Man series. In the original Pac-Man game, Pac-Man navigates a maze, eating everything in sight, while being chased by a group of ghosts. Pac-Man is defenseless against the ghosts unless he eats a special Power Pill, which will temporarily make the ghosts edible to Pac-Man and temporarily flipping the chase. Pac-Man later starred in more conventional console side-scrollers in the 1990's as well as 3-D platformers later on.

Pac-Man has an extensive circle of friends and family. This includes his wife, Ms. Pac-Man; his children Baby Pac and Pac-Jr.; the trusty Professor Pac; and his dog, Chomp Chomp. They live in Pac-Land. Aside from the ghosts in the original games, Pac-Man's other enemies include the Ghost Witch, an evil Pac-Man impersonator called Toc-Toc, an ancient ghost monster named Spooky and a mad genius called Erwin. Additionally, his age is the same as the age of the game series (for example, he celebrates his twentieth birthday in Pac-Man World, which was released in 1999, twenty years after the release of the original game).
