Not that I can think of, but I have seen an awesome demon-like version of Pac which I really like. It's super powerful looking. I'll see if I can get a picture.
Okay, show us if you find him or something equivalent... (btw, I always felt that Pac-Devil was a waste of space in World Rally... Taizo Hori was more deserving, instead we got Mr. Driller :T)
The Pac-Man games (traditional and non-traditional) have amazing levels and music. I think a Pac-Man inspired stage would be cool to have, regardless if Pac gets in. If they want to go for something retro and maze-like, I feel a stage inspired from Championship Edition would be very funky and colourful, rather than just having boring, static black & blue colours from the original. Maybe touching a fruit that appears will alter half or some of the maze/platform patterns. But that's just me. I like trippy stages, especially ones that are focused on visuals haha.
Anyone else have some stage ideas? And what games would you prefer the home of Pac to be from?
We had this debate about this before... is definitely expected to be "The Maze "256"" his stage in Smash.. but if were for Pacster get another type of stage, I'd expect
Pacopolis from Ghostly Adventures,... and would be a likely choice anyway;... Futuristic cities aren't a common thing in Nintendo franchises (or at least, those already in SmashBros.) and would be nice having one... the music from several past Pac-Man games would fit normally in this thematic, and wouldn't flee of the concept of Pac's post reboot universe (I mean, if we could get a Pac-Man World stage, would make the things much confusing, not matching at all).
But returning about the maze possibility, I wouldn't bother if he gets a
claustrophobic stage like "Mario Bros." em Brawl; since I don't play Smash competitively (and not all the stages has this kind of focus, anyway) and this kind of stage would do more justice to the concept of a real maze, and how the classic Pac-Man games were interpreted. =) But sure I also would like some glowing colors like in Championship DX+; would be lovely! ^-^
I realized something.
Just let World / Classic Pac be an alternate costume (maybe with no voice and just sound effects from the original game as an extra touch) and identity crisis averted.
I can now get behind this.
you know, I find this very likely... since Little Mac got an Alt. Skin with his more classic appearance, and he has a fanbase much more satisfied with his modern redesign; Pac, who has some fans with contradictory opinions about his modern appearence, would be totally has his classic form in his alt skin. (and I'd be totally okay with this, even liking the modern as well)
