Bonus Fruit

Bonus Fruit is the neutral special move of Pac-Man in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U, based on the Bonus Fruit items from the original Pac-Man game. Pac-Man charges a projectile in his hands that cycles through a number of projectiles that can be thrown by pressing the special attack button again. Each fruit has different properties when thrown:


 * Cherry: Bounces twice, deals the least damage, does not travel as far.
 * Strawberry: Bounces three times, travels farther than the cherry.
 * Orange: Travels slowly in a straight line.
 * Apple: Bounces four times in quick succession.
 * Melon: Travels slowly in a wide arc, bouncing once; deals the second-highest amount of damage.
 * Galaxian: Travels straight ahead, loops, then either flies straight ahead again or up at an angle.
 * Bell: Travels up at an arc before suddenly falling; can hit multiple opponents and stuns them if hit.
 * Key: Travels in a completely straight line; moves the fastest and deals the most damage and knockback.

Pac-Man can only use this move once and must wait for the projectile to disappear before it can properly be used again. Like most chargeable moves he can also roll to save the charge and begin charging again by holding down the special attack button or throw the current projectile by pressing the button. Each projectile immediately disappears when they hit an opponent.

Pac-Man has two custom special variants for this move. The first custom variant is Freaky Fruit, which gives the fruit more random behaviors when thrown. The second is Lazy Fruit (Bone-Idle Fruit in PAL version), which has each fruit move more slowly but they remain longer.
