Pac-Man

Pac-Man (originally Puck Man) is a very famous video game character who first appeared in the arcade classic Pac-Man.

Pac-Man Vs.
Pac-Man Vs. is the first game in which characters from the Mario series, and Pac-Man series both appeared. This game was a remake of the original Pac-Man however in this version of the game players controlled Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Spunky. It seems that during the events of this game Mario was watching over what happened- as he acts as the narrator.

Mario Kart Arcade GP
Pac-Man later appeared in the Mario series as a playable character in Mario Kart Arcade GP. Here, Pac-Man was an all-around type character who shares a rivalry with Mario. His special items were Pooka, Rally-X, and Galaga.

Mario Kart Arcade GP 2
In Mario Kart Arcade GP 2 Pac-Man returned as a playable character. He was the same as he was in Mario Kart Arcade GP, but this time his wife Ms. Pac-Man also appeared as a playable character.
