Presume he had just ate a power pellet, of course.
Followup matchups for your consideration:
- Slimer, from “Ghostbusters”
- Sadako, from “The Ring”
- Freddy Krueger, from “Nightmare on Elm Street”
- The clown from “It”
- A ring wraith from “Lord of the Rings”
Consider how eating the power pellets turns the ghosts blue, and how the ghosts regain their original colour when they respawn, even within the power pellet timer. The natural conclusion is that the pellets don’t change pacman, but change the ghosts.
As such, unless the power pellets affect ALL ghosts the same way they affect the pacman ghosts, pacman could not eat any ghost other than the pacman ghosts.
That is a big assumption. Are there any Pacman games with different types of ghosts?
The power pellets only affect ghosts after said pellets are eaten by Pac-Man, as the ghosts can float over pellets without issue. Thus I think its a safe assumption that making the ghosts material form edible one time, temporarily is a result of Pac-Man’s magnified power rather then the pellet itself.
Hence the question.
