Ad: (1) Skip Ad Arcade Games Pinky8bit Original Pinky sprite. Pac-Man Main article: Pac-Man (game) Pinky first appeared alongside Blinky, Inky, and Clyde, the other members of the Ghost Gang, in Pac-Man. She starts inside the Ghost Home in the Maze's center, sitting in the middle of Inky and Clyde.

Pinky's movement is very strategic. By following Pac-Man's direction (approximately four spaces ahead of wherever he is headed) rather than Pac-Man himself, Pinky usually ends up taking a roundabout path to him. She tends to move counterclockwise around blocks. Sometimes she can also chase Pac-Man directly like Blinky. Because of this, however, if Pac-Man comes face-to-face with Pinky at an intersection, she will, more often than not, turn away. During "scatter" mode, Pinky occupies the top-left corner of the maze.

She continues a similar role in these subsequent games:

Ms. Pac-Man Jr. Pac-Man Super Pac-Man Pac & Pal Pac-Mania Pac-Man Arrangement (1996) Pac-Man Arrangement (2005) Pac-Man VR Pac-Man: Adventures in Time Ms. Pac-Man: Quest for the Golden Maze Pac-Man Championship Edition Pac-Man Championship Edition 2 Pac-Man Championship Edition DX Pac-Man Battle Royale Pac-Man 99 Pac-Land Main article: Pac-Land Pac-Land features Pinky and the other ghosts as they try to stop Pac-Man using cars, buses, UFOs, and planes. No ghost is stronger than the other in this game, and the only one who acts differently from the others is Sue.

Pac 'n Roll Main article: Pac 'n Roll Pacrollpinky Pinky's plan in Pac 'n Roll. Pinky and the ghosts appear in Pac 'n Roll as enemies. They team up with Golvis in order to get rid of Pac-Man after their previous defeats. It was Pinky's idea to resurrect Golvis. Although Inky, Blinky, and Clyde weren't completely interested, they went along with Pinky's plans.

After the destruction of Golvis's UFO, Pinky and the others watch Pac-Man on a television in the middle of the ocean. She scolds Golvis, declaring that she's had enough of his foolishness. She then discovers the reason Golvis was imprisoned was because of his clumsiness, not because of his power.

Pac-Man World series Pac-Man World Main article: Pac-Man World Pinky appears in the game's cutscenes, and as an enemy on some levels.

Pac-Man World 2 Main article: Pac-Man World 2 Pinky is first seen watching Pac-Man sleep from outside his window. She picks a flower, presumably infatuated with Pac-Man. Soon after she and the other ghosts pick the Golden Fruit from the tree, Spooky appears and convinces the ghosts to aid him in his plans to get rid of the Pac-People.

She is the third boss of the game. Her fight takes place in a snowy area, with platforms on all sides to jump and attack from. She, like Inky and Blinky, made a ghost-like robot for her fight. It has the ability to shoot snowballs.

Pac-Man World 3 Main article: Pac-Man World 3 In Pac-Man World 3, Pinky is a playable character, and teams up with Pac-Man. She can create platforms for Pac-Man to jump on, and the two characters can be switched back-and-forth.

She is first mentioned by Orson, who tells Pac-Man to find all of the Ghost Gang in the Spectral Realm. Pac-Man only finds Pinky, who tells him that Erwin is using Inky and Clyde, who is mistakenly called Blinky (see Clyde and Blinky error for more details on this), for power and has connected them to an energy-sucking machine used to power Erwin's robots. Pinky then helps Pac-Man find the other ghosts.

Animated Series Main article: Pac-Man (TV Series) In the 1982 animated series, Pinky appears alongside Blinky, Inky, Clyde, and Sue. In the cartoon, Pinky is portrayed as a male character rather than female, also having the deepest voice of the ghosts. He works with Mezmeron in attempt to stop Pac-Man and seize the Power Pellets.

Pinky is a tough and powerful, but slow acting man. Pinky has the most advanced shape-shifting ability of the ghosts, able to transform into various things such as hot air balloons, flag poles, cactuses, or turn into animals and giants. Pinky occasionally collaborates with the other ghosts to create other things such as kites, frisbees, bowling balls or wheel plates. He is fiercely loyal to Clyde and Mezmaron, though he’s completely unaware of how his biases affect his perspective.

Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures Main article: Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures Pinky made an appearance in the Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures TV series. She is fuchsia in color though. Rather than an enemy of Pac-Man, she (along with Blinky, Inky and Clyde) act as Pac-Man's allies. In the series, she has an intense romantic interest for Pac-Man, which she develops during the series' pilot epiode; she even got to kiss Pac on one occasion. She is rather hotheaded and easy to anger, particularly towards Cylindria, who she sees as a rival for Pac Man's affection.

Once their leader, the Ghost Witch of Netor is defeated, Pinky and the others fly off.

Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness Main article: Ms. Pac-Man Maze Madness Along with the other ghosts, Pinky was recruited by the witch Mesmerelda to stop Ms. Pac-Man from finding the four Gems of Virtue.

Characteristics A pink ghost that strategically targets PAC-MAN in the PAC-MAN series. She's also known as Speedy, as she can anticipate PAC-MAN's moves and get ahead of him quick enough to ambush him. In Smash Bros., she appears in the PAC-MAZE stage and in PAC-MAN's down smash. TROPHY DESCRIPTION, SUPER SMASH BROS. FOR NINTENDO 3DS / WII U

Appearance Pinky is a pink-colored ghost. She has big eyes, but her slanted eyelids and eyelashes partially obscure them. She is typically limbless within games, but some incarnations show her with arms, sometimes with gloves as well (either orange or purple-colored). She is sometimes seen wearing makeup.

In the TV series and Pac-Land, Pinky wears a hat, and has a "tough guy" personality. In Pac-Man Party and Ghostly Adventures, she has shoulder-length hair and blue eyes, and looks somewhat younger; her arms are also stubbier.

In Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, Pinky is a magenta-colored ghost.

Personality Pinky is quite feminine and calm, but is just as mischievous as the rest of the Ghost Gang, and won't hesitate to stop Pac-Man if he tries to stop their antics. When chasing Pac-Man/Ms. Pac-Man in the maze, her strategy is to ambush them rather than chase them. Even though she is not as fast as Blinky, this strategy makes her one of the more persistent and tricky ghosts.

The masculine iteration of Pinky in the Hanna Barbera series has tough demeanor and is much more slow-witted than in the games, indicated by his speech patterns (often starting his sentences with "duhhh"). In addition, this Pinky often takes the form of objects and animals, and is able to increase in size. Pinky uses this habit to avoid being eaten by Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, albeit to no avail.

In Pac N' Roll, she is shown to be quite cunning and mean, having been the one who came up with the plan to summon Golvis and ruin the Power Pellet Harvest Festival.

In Pac-Man and the Ghostly Adventures, Pinky is shown to have a crush on Pac-Man. As with the other members of the original Ghost Gang, she is now an ally and friend of Pac-Man rather than an enemy.
