''Pac-Man Party'' is a MinigameGame for the Wii, reminiscent of ''VideoGame/MarioParty''. Franchise/PacMan collects as many cookies as he can during this adventure. This is also the first game in which Pac-Man has a whole different look. It is also the first time the four iconic ghosts are given [[DivergentCharacterEvolution distinctive designs]] to differentiate them instead of being simple {{Palette Swap}}s of one another. The game's character designs were later made the basis for ''WesternAnimation/PacManAndTheGhostlyAdventures''.
