Speedy gets his name for an unusual reason. Speedy appears to try to outsmart Pac-Man and crash into Pac-Man from the opposite direction. The truth behind this is that when Speedy isn't patrolling the top-left corner of the maze, he tries to attack Pac-Man by moving to where she is ''going to be'' (that is, a few spaces ahead of Pac-Man's current direction) instead of right where he is, as Blinky does. It's difficult to use this to your advantage, but it's possible. If Pinky is coming at you and you face a different direction, even briefly, she may just turn away and attempt to cut you off in the new direction while you return to your original direction. In the original Japanese version, her name is Machibuse/Pinky.<br> | ||
'''AI''': When the ghosts are not patrolling their home corners, Pinky wants to go to the place that is four grid spaces ahead of Pac-Man in the direction that Pac-Man is facing. If Pac-Man is facing down, Pinky wants to go to the location exactly four spaces below Pac-Man. Moving towards this place uses the same logic that Blinky uses to find Pac-Man's exact location. Pinky is affected by a targeting bug if Pac-Man is facing up - when he moves or faces up, Pinky tries moving towards a point up, and left, four spaces.<br> | '''AI''': When the ghosts are not patrolling their home corners, Pinky wants to go to the place that is four grid spaces ahead of Pac-Man in the direction that Pac-Man is facing.

''Note: In the original arcade series, the ghosts' genders are unspecified and assumed to be male. In 1999, the USA division of Namco & Namco Hometech developed the ''Pac-Man World'' series and declared Pinky to be female.'' | ''Note: In the original arcade series, the ghosts' genders are unspecified and assumed to be male.
