Super Smash Bros 4 Pic of the Day Reveals Pac-Man's Bonus Fruit Special Attack; Pixelated Strawberry Charges in Cycles
In today's Super Smash Bros 4 Pic of the Day, game developer Masahiro Sakurai introduced one of Pac-Man's special attacks called Bonus Fruit.
"Pic of the day. Pac-Man's standard special move, Bonus Fruit. As you charge this move, the bonuses will change, and all of them have different characteristics and movement patterns when thrown. The bonuses cycle in the same order as in the original game, and the charge-up period doubles once you cycle beyond the orange," wrote Sakurai in the Nintendo Miiverse.
In the Wii U screenshot Pac-Man is seen with his palm raised and open while a pixelated strawberry hovers above his hand. See the image here.
Yesterday's Pic of the Day showed off new game mode for the 3DS called Trophy Rush.
"Pic of the day. Here's a new mini-game that's quite a bit different from Coin Launcher in Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It's called Trophy Rush! The details"¦will be kept secret for now," wrote game director Masahiro Sakurai.
In the picture Pikachu is seen going through a timed .maze of sorts. There seems to be a points meter in the top right corner. See the picture here.
The full character list for the game so far is: Mario, Luigi, Link, Samus, Kirby, Fox, Pikachu, Bowser, Donkey Kong, Pit, Olimar, Toon Link, Princess Peach, Sonic the Hedgehog, MegaMan, Wii Fit Trainer, Rosalina, Zelda, the Villager, King Dedede, Lucario, Little Mac, Diddy Kong, Zero Suit Samus, Greninja, Charizard, Shiek, Yoshi, Ike, Pac-Man, Mii Fighters, and Lady Palutena.
The game's release date for the 3DS was revealed as October 3, which was a push back from its original July launch. The Wii U version is still unconfirmed, but it is anticipated for the holiday season.
