I think it's due to PacLand, an... obscure, maybe? PacMan side-scrolling game for... uh... I'd guess arcades.
I saw the trailer but i did not see mr game and watch where is he in there.
Watch the whole trailer. Literally the whole trailer.
It's the Ike Climbers. Sakurai listens to the fans!
What showed up for me on the American Website.
Ike-Ike-Ike Confirmed for SSB4.
I goofed, it looks like it's from a fan account on twitter.
Yeah, it's a reference to Pac-Land. You could hop on the fire hydrants and sometimes get fruit or powerups from them, and they'd shoot out water and were just generally annoying. xD It's a very obscure reference, but it seems like they really went with a lot of Pac-Land references for him, like the Wii U stage.
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHO NOTICED THAT
What an exemplary stealth reveal! That crafty Sakurai is so clever, ain't he?
Looking up gameplay from Pac-Land arcade game (which the Wii U stage is based on), they seem to be obstacles that he has to jump over or can move around.
Wait where are the Galaga bugs at?
Fun fact: Pac-Land predates Super Mario Bros. Pac-Man actually did the platforming thing before Mario ever did, but unfortunately Pac-Land is super hard and wasn't as popular.
Are you being sarcastic? I thought that the general consensus was that everyone thought he would look repugnant; however, we were mostly incorrect and he looks amazing. You have an odd opinion there, I am not sure what you were envisioning for him.
Thanks, for pooping on our party with your opinions.
I suppose the fire hydrant is the only thing that I do not like about his move-set, it does not seem very cohesive. Other than that, I actually enjoy the inspiration he takes from other Namco games.
It's definitely an odd inclusion, but I think it'll have its use, just like Villager's tree.
Dude, Mario's arm.
You guys sure waited long enough for this picture.
I wish I could have found out as it happened, but the design choice makes up for that completely.
This is perfect. And now that the 2 most likely newcomers have been confirmed, speculation will get... interesting...
It's from Pac-Land. At the end of each Trip (aka Stage) you would visit the Great Fairy and she will give you winged shoes to do part of the stage in reverse. That screenshot is an exact pixel recreation of that moment, which I'm guessing is part of the Pac-Land stage seen in the trailer.
What are we looking at here? Is this stage related to Pac-Man or is this some Nintendo thing I'm completely unfamiliar with?
That is the question of the day; will we get 3rd party figurines? I suppose if we got a Sonic one, it would become blatantly obvious that a Pac-Man NFC was in the works. It is probably not ready as of current in the event that it will exist though.
I hope sooooooo! 8D
