How to Kill Pinky in "Pac-Man"

In the classic arcade game "Pac-Man," Pinky is one of four colored ghosts that can kill Pac-Man. As his name suggests, Pinky is pink in color. The other three ghosts are red-colored "Blinky," cyan-colored "Inky" and orange-colored "Clyde." Pac-Man can only defeat these enemies by eating special pellets that give him the power to eat ghosts. Once he eats a power pellet, he must then kill as many ghosts as possible, including Pinky, before the power wears off.

Instructions

    • 1

      Move Pac-Man quickly to the closest flashing power pellet located in one of the four main quadrants of the game.

    • 2

      Note Pinky's location in the game and then move Pac-Man in position to eat the pellet. All of the ghosts turn dark blue and their facial expressions change.

    • 3

      Chase Pinky's dark blue form through the maze and then move Pac-Man through Pinky to kill him.

Tips & Warnings

  • If Pinky's ghost form flashes white, Pac-Man is losing his power. Move Pac-Man in position to eat another power pellet and try again.

  • In classic "Pac-Man," Pinky doesn't stay dead. Instead, Pinky resurrects inside the box at the center of the game and then returns to the maze to attempt to kill Pac-Man.

  • Always kill Pinky before the dark blue form turns pink again. Once the form switches back to pink, Pinky can kill Pac-Man.

  • The ghost color change doesn't happen in later game levels.
