Formally known as Speedy, Pinky retains much of the same joystick reading ability that he has in Pac-Man. Pinky will attempt to move to the position that Ms. Pac-Man will arrive at shortly, in an attempt to head you off at the pass.

When Ms. Pac-Man eats one of the four power pellets positioned near the corners of each stage, the ghosts will turn blue for a short period of time. The higher the level, the shorter that time becomes, until the ghosts don't turn blue at all (but they do change direction.) Eating consecutive ghosts while they're scared can earn you 200, 400, 800, and 1600 points if you nab all four. But watch out when they start flashing because they're about to change back to their former ghostly selves. | When Ms. Pac-Man eats one of the four power pellets positioned near the corners of each stage, the ghosts will turn blue for a short period of time.

*'''Act III - Junior''': Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man anxiously await the arrival of a stork, who flies overhead with a bundle. As the stork is about to pass over them, he releases the bundle, which drops to the ground in front of Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man, and opens up to reveal a baby Pac. This intermission would later serve as the introductory sequence to [[Jr. Pac-Man]]. | *'''Act III - Junior''': Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man anxiously await the arrival of a stork, who flies overhead with a bundle.
