Pac-Dots (also known as Video Wafers, Pellets, Dots or Cookies) are a recurring item in the Pac-Man series. In the arcade version, Pac-Dots are the small, square, peach dots, scattered about the stage, which Pac-Man must eat in order to clear the stage. In the 3D games, they are rounder in shape, and are now yellow. Pac-Man is able to eat many of these at a time. The color of the Pac-Dots vary between games, occasionally taking on a yellow or white color.
Types of Pac-Dots
Power Pellets
Main article: Power Pellet
Power Pellets are the large, blinking Pac-Dots that turn ghosts blue when Pac-Man eats one. While the ghosts are temporarily blue, the Power Pellet allows him the ability to eat the ghosts.
Fly Dots
Fly Dots are present in the 3D games. They first appeared in Pac-Man World and a chain of Pac-Dots with the first in the chain having a red arrow pointing outwards. If Pac-Man eats this first dot, he will fly through the chain while eating each dot on the way. The Fly Dots usually lead Pac-Man from one place to another, which was unreachable before.
History
Pac-Man World
In Pac-Man World, Pac-Dots are used as a currency of some sort. At the end of each stage, the Pac-Dots that Pac-Man collected will be thrown into a machine which counts them and gives the player points. Eating one Pac-Dot is worth five points. Also, only in this game, Pac-Man can shoot the Pac-Dots and Super Pac-Dots (only after charging) from his hand.
Pac-Man Party
Cookies are items that can be found in Pac-Man Party, in which the player can get the cookies from the Cookie Factory. The player can get more by landing on the player's castle as a castle bonus.
