Pac-Dot

Pac-Dots (also known as Video Wafers, Pellets, Dots or Cookies) are an recurring item in the Pac-Man series. In the arcade version, Pac-Dots are the small, square, peach dots, scattered about the stage, which Pac-Man must eat in order to clear the stage. In the 3-D games, they are rounder in shape, and are now yellow. Pac-Man is able to eat many of these at a time. The color of the Pac-Dots vary between games, occasionally taking on a yellow or white color.

Types of Pac-Dots[]

Power Pellets[]

Main article: Power Pellet

Power Pellets are the large, blinking Pac-Dots that turn ghosts blue when Pac-Man eats one. While the ghosts are temporarily blue, the Power Pellet allows him the ability to eat the ghosts.

Fly Dots[]

Fly dots are present in the 3-D games. They first appeared in Pac-Man World and a chain of Pac-Dots with the first in the chain having a red arrow pointing outwards. If Pac-Man eats this first dot, he will fly through the chain while eating each dot on the way. The Fly Dots usually lead Pac-Man from one place to another, which was unreachable before. ily blue, the Power Pellet allows him the ability to eat the ghosts.

History[]

Pac-Man World[]

In Pac-Man World, Pac-Dots are used as a currency of some sort. At the end of each stage, the Pac-Dots that Pac-Man collected will be thrown into a machine which counts them and gives the player points. Eating one Pac-Dot is worth five points. Also, only in this game, Pac-Man can shoot the Pac-Dots and Super Pac-Dots (only after charging) from his hand.

Pac-Man Party[]

Cookies are items that can be found in Pac-Man Party, in which the player can get the cookies from the Cookie Factory. The player can get more by landing on the player's castle as a castle bonus.
