I'm also a fan of the hanna barbera design Not only is the design it's own thing while taking inspiration from the wedge and jpn pac man design But it also made pac man look straight out of a hanna barbera cartoon Come to think of it, the design also wouldn't look too out of place In a dic cartoon I mean pac man's hanna barbera design looks straight out of the super mario bros super show
The one thing about Hanna-Barbera cartoons is that alot of their characters especially funny animal ones tended to have a headwear, they probably gave the cartoon version of Pac-Man a hat just because.
I have 2 honorable mentions for you. 1. Street Fighter X Tekken Pac-Man. He’s pretty much party Pac-Man but with red gloves and red shoes. Although his eyes are a little bit smaller and his gloves shows his fingers. 2. Hot Shots Golf World Invitational Pac-Man. He’s just party Pac-Man but his gloves only shows his thumb and he doesn’t have a voice actor.
The creator of Smash Bros. has said that he strongly considered cutting Pac-Man from the roster if Namco forced him to use the Ghostly Adventures design.
In my opinion I love both Party Pac-Man and Ghostly Adventures are the best designs of Pac-Man. They’re both similar in design but when Pac-Man party launched for the Wii. In the game Pac-Man’s shoes are orange mixed with red. However the party design was reused in Pac-Man and Galaga Dimensions for the 3DS, Street Fighter X Tekken and Hot Shots Golf World Invitational Japanese version only. However he retained his party design in both SFXT and HSGWI. The only difference is his eyes changed a little bit. His gloves shows his fingers and his shoes are red in SFXT. And In HSGWI the only thing that changed is his gloves only showing his thumb. Ghostly Adventures Pac-Man first starred in his show Pac-Man and The Ghostly Adventures. I loved the show and wished it got a 3rd season finally letting Pac be with his parents. And the cool power berry transformation that Pac has. Ghostly Adventures Pac-Man is a playable character in Mario Kart Arcade GP DX where he is voiced by Debi DerryBerry who voiced his party counterpart in the English Version and in the Japanese version he most likely used his Japanese voice clips from his ghostly adventures game.
To me the best pacman design....is Modern pacman because why not....he is Pacman....to be modern pacman is tobey maguire while pacster/patga Pacman represents well....tom holland..... Hey i adore some of the others designs like cereal pac,wedge pacman but i wish cereal pac had boots and also being in the arcade art than that GOD DAM Q*BERT MUTATION!!!! 1:10 spanish midway pacman is closer to being good but.....he is still being call Q*bert mutation.
My favorite Pac-Man design is the one they use in Smash Ultimate, it’s near identical to the modern Namco design but with less vibrant colors. They also changed the texture on his mittens to be more rubbery like boxing gloves
Lane… Those concept designs for the original Pac-Man design… WHERE did you find them? I need to know… And are there any more of them? I’ve never seen those in my entire life and they are a seriously truly truly incredible early look at the game
They came from a TH-cam video uploaded by Bandai Namco Studios. They did a series called Namco Museum of Art, where they covered the artwork of Namco's classic arcade games, including Pac-Man. I'll provide a link in case you want to check out the video: th-cam.com/video/YbQjPKp-A6Y/w-d-xo.html
My favorite design of Pac-Man is the “Namco Community Magazine” one. There’s something charming about that design in the magazines. I’ll just call him “NG Pac-Man”. It’s a really cool redesign. It looks like a 2.5d model.
Thanks for asking, here's the list of music I used in this video.

Hanna Barbera is Pac-Man is awesome because I gave him a tiny little hat and made him look like a human just without a body if what I said, made sense designed characters in the cartoon with is great
I still care both for Pac-Land, Ms. Pac-Man and Jr. Pac-Man, I still hate the fact that Ms. Pac-Man, Jr. Pac-Man, and Baby Pac-Man have been replaced by Pac-Mom, and Pac-Sis due to AtGames legal issues.
I see my beloved HB Pac-Man in the thumbnail of a video about the best designs, I know I’m in for a real pac-treat!

hb design is goated
I always found the Hanna-Barbera Pac-Man charming! His little hat is so iconic! Also, Greg Martin deserves even more credit for his work!
Greg Martin? Isn't that the Sonic guy?
@@RawrX32009yes, watch the video lol

I will forever appreciate the classic and Modern versions of Pac-Man cuz I grew up with these versions!
Fun fact in pac man world 3 pac man is voiced by Martin shreman
He also voiced thomas the tank engine at one point

Incredible
Which also indirectly screwed their heads back on right and got them to keep using the Pac-Man World design.

8:14 Probably because Japan doesn't really like the whole "four fingers" character design trope for several complicated reasons
It is a common practice among Yakuza to cut off a finger to atone for wrongdoings against their superiors.
I like the *PUCK MAN* design
As pure as the character gets
Speaking of Cereal Pac-Man, he also appears on the MyArcade handhelds.
And yes, I'm talking about the Genesis hardware lookin' ones!
Cool!! 0:08

Party Pac is the best in my opinion, I also hope an angry mob of Namco fans don't swarm me for trying to like Ghostly Adventures!
I respect you bro.
Love your choices bro, tho I would've put the Pac-Man Party design on my list, I love him 😅
recommendation: the ghosts' best and worst designs

Ok I’ll admit, whilst I was hoping #1 was my favorite too, I am disappointed Monsters Pac-Man didn’t even get a mention
I never watched Hannah Barbara cartoon because i wasn’t born in that timeline
“Is the pac back?”
“He was”
“But he’s still somewhere else running away from monsters”

@@KingLaneCreations Thank you so much this is so sick lol
@@KingLaneCreations you forgot 2600 pac man (it’s not stupid it’s very cute)
@@Garfield152-i6onah lol
You should do one of these but with sonic the hedgehog some day
I tend to associate the hat with his Pac-Land design. I’m not sure whether Pac-Land or HB Pac came first.
HB was first by two years. The show was over for almost a full year before Pac-Land hit Japanese arcades.
I don't care what any other person says about Pac-Man and the ghostly adventures it's pretty good and I like 😡
6:10 uh oh, the mandella effect?
Bro, there is no way I thought his hat was brown too. I just learned this.
The wedge pacman with the p eyes is my favourate design among all of them
Can't wait 🎉
I really like Cereal Pac-Man's design. He feels like the purest version of PacMan.
My favorite design of Pac-Man is the “Namco Community Magazine” one. There’s something charming about that design in the magazines.

A yellow ghost?!?
I have 3 questions how old are you, what is your birth date and what city do you live in? You sound like a Gen Z
He was born in 2003 Lane.
Wack wack wack

Cool Pacman video!
Thanks
