(First topic)[edit]

How is Toad friends with Ms. Pac-Man? Greentoad

Ms or Mrs.?[edit]

Shouldn't her name be Mrs. Pac man instead of Ms. Pac man because she's the wife of Pac man? User:DaisyLuigi/sig

While that'd make sense, she's always been called Ms. Pac Man since before they officially met, so. ExdeathIcon.png Lord G. matters. ExdeathIcon.png 19:20, 20 March 2014 (EDT)

Does PAC-MOM qualify?[edit]

Does PAC-MOM qualify for her latest appearances or no? PAC-MOM is a direct replacement for Ms. PAC with her roles in Pac-Man World Re-Pac and rereleases of Pac-Land making that crystal clear. Meta Pac (talk) 18:11, September 26, 2026 (UTC)

We might want to mention PAC-MOM as a sentence in the first paragraph, but otherwise no. The wiki doesn't care that much about PAC-MOM until she shows up in a game within Super Mario Wiki's coverage, at which point we would probably have a separate PAC-MOM article.

I don't really agree with giving PAC-MOM her own article as she isn't a drastic as Giga Bowser or Wario-Man who directly alter the characters beyond appearance but I agree with the rest of your points. Meta Pac (talk) 18:19, September 26, 2026 (UTC)
To be fair, Wario-Man and Giga Bowser are alternate forms who are sometimes depicted as separate characters. PAC-MOM's situation seems to be more akin to how Bowser Jr. overwriting the existence of Koopa Kid.
I don't necessarily think that the "replacement characters" should be considered the same subject as the "character who was replaced" in this case. (Although that is just my opinion, and is quite specific in its application.) Wandering Poplin (talk) 18:24, September 26, 2026 (UTC)
Considering PAC-MOM's entire ordeal is that she's meant to be "we have Ms. PAC-MAN at home", we feel like she'd kinda have to have her own page, right? Like, legally speaking, she is meant to be her own separate entity, because AtGames decided to hold Ms. ransom over their plastic e-junk clogging Wal-Marts the world over... Granted, it's a bit of a moot point to really bother with semantics, as PAC-MOM hasn't yet appeared in a game that'd matter for our coverage, and if it's not clear from our tone, we're kinda hoping it never comes to that, 'cause we loathe AtGames with a passion and a vengeance.
