If you're going to ask for a Pac-Man explanation we just as much need a Mr. Game & Watch explanation.

G&W is clearly just a regular guy being displayed in a stylized manner on the extremely weak hardware. ...right?

 

[Already Torn]

Pacman doesn't eat power pellets in Pac-Land and he still moves around, so your theory makes no sense. Also, Wario needs to eat to survive, and he doesn't enjoy eating more than any other character in the Mario universe. Less so than characters like Yoshi.

G&W is clearly just a regular guy being displayed in a stylized manner on the extremely weak hardware. ...right?

But that doesn't explain why he looks that way in Smash!

 

[_Spr_Drnk]

Today I learned I identify as an organic being. Maybe its jaundice.

 

[Not Spaceghost]

pac man has the deepest lore

 

[d00d3n]

I'm gonna go with an organic central body, but with modular prosthetic limbs.

Fuck, how are people going to sleep tonight after seeing that?

 

[RoadHazard]

Unless Pac-Man is just the last name.

But if she's Pac-Man's wife she should be Mrs Pac-Man. But she's a Ms, so they can't be married. But still she has his last name. So is she his sister? Cousin? Mother? And they have a baby together? Uuuh...

 

[Mugy]

Uh, ghosts have legs and wear sheets:

 

[Poohblaster]

I'm afraid you have it all wrong. Pacman is a cybernetic organism. Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton.

 

[GametimeUK]

I think it may depend on what version of pacman it is.

 

[Voras]

Also the ghosts aren't really ghosts, they're little monsters with two legs that wear sheets

Whoa, I've never seen that before. That changes everything.

As for the OP, Pac-Man is clearly digital, Wreck-It Ralph style.

 

[Fordfx2]

Neither! He's pixelated...

 

[Vampirolol]

G&W is clearly just a regular guy being displayed in a stylized manner on the extremely weak hardware. ...right?

Actually his body seems to have a dark power in the Subspace Emissary, it can create life with no limits.

 

[inky]

fixed

 

[wondermega]

He's actually a planet. A hungry planet, which survived by eating stars and celestial fruit. The ghosts that chase him are actually the animated husks of already dead planets.

 

[VendettaRed07]

Pac Man and the Ghostly Adventures confirmed he shares a universe with the Characters from Reboot

 

[naib]

There's this.

 

[Aselith]

Pac-Man is a fungi

 

[PK Gaming]

Well in Smash Bros, swords make a SCRHNWING sound when hitting Pac-Man (& R.O.B) so that fuels "Pac-Man is a synthetic" theory.




Note: I made the above up.

 

[Kuraudo]

He's a metaphor for the capitalist consumer.

 

[DiipuSurotu]

 

[d00d3n]

A Binding of Isaac style roguelike about a suicidal and drug addicted Pacman needs to happen right now!

 

[jett]

Pac-Man is a transcendental being, beyond such descriptions.

 

[Bulzeeb]

Luigi Mario

What if Bros is the last name and is Mario Bros and Luigi Bros :S

 

[sleepydeer]

I'm gonna go with an organic central body, but with modular prosthetic limbs.

So that's what a lemon chicken looks like before you cook it...

 

[Dimitri LH]

There's this.

This is somehow a worse idea than "Mario with Guns".

Staph.

 

[ShadowElliot]

How do they have a baby Pac-Man Jr. then. Did they build it.

 

[ReBurn]

He's a good boy.

 

[Keasar]

Dimensional, neither organic or synthetic, who's existence cease the moment you touch him.

I want to make out with it

 

[rec0ded1]

was pac man jr baby pacman?

 

[Hot Coldman]

I want to make out with it

nutted but she still suckin

 

[redhood56]

But if she's Pac-Man's wife she should be Mrs Pac-Man. But she's a Ms, so they can't be married. But still she has his last name. So is she his sister? Cousin? Mother? And they have a baby together? Uuuh...

Well holes are holes...

And we don't know what is taboo in the pac-man universe. It could be totally normal.

 

[Lijik]

If Pac Man is synthetic, who is out there making artificial Pac Dogs for Pac Man to raise

Mick Jagger?

 

[rekameohs]

If he's organic, then he's gotta have one of the most horrific deaths in gaming

 

[Kysuke]

Also the ghosts aren't really ghosts, they're little monsters with two legs that wear sheets

Yooooooooooo!

 

[ike_]

So he's actually a Reaper from Mass Effect.

Everybody be cool. Green ending, green ending. Nobody anger the Pac Man.

 

[inpHilltr8r]

But she's a Ms, so they can't be married.

That's not how that works. You can be married and still choose to use Ms.

 

[Badlucktroll]

After seeing this shirt:

I assumed that he was an astronaut that is now haunted by the ghosts of his crew.

 

[Alebrije]

Have this pacman

It represents an organic being

Theory invalidated:

 

[DiipuSurotu]

Did you guys know there is Pac-Man Ghost hiding in NeoGAF?

 

[SolVanderlyn]

Did you guys know there is Pac-Man Ghost hiding in NeoGAF?

Oh God, where is Pac-man hiding?

 

[pswii60]

What does politically-correct Pacman actually swallow these days instead of 'pills'? Generic sugar-coated chocolate beans?

Did you guys know there is Pac-Man Ghost hiding in NeoGAF?

If Pacman were owned by Nintendo and not Namco, GAF would already have received a cease and desist letter.

 

[KojiKnight]

Oh God, where is Pac-man hiding?

Don't turn around, you're already dead.

 

[this guy are sick]

Also the ghosts aren't really ghosts, they're little monsters with two legs that wear sheets

Okay.

Jr Pac-Man Transition 3.

We have to talk about this.

Jr falls in love with a ghost and they run away together, that's a little wierd, but whatever, no ghost-love shaming. But most shocking of all is that Ms Pac-Man runs off with Blinky in the other direction. Are they having an affair? What the hell is going on in Jr Pac-Man, this is messed up??
