Power Pellet is Pac-Man's Side Special Move. Pac-Man creates a chain of Pac-Dots, transforms in to his 8-bit form and starts eating them.
Overview
If there are opponents in his path, they will take damage. The path can be influenced by controlling the direction with the Control Stick, allowing Pac-Man to hit opponents multiple times. At the end of the chain, there is a Power Pellet. If Pac-Man eats it, he will become bigger, stronger and faster, dealing higher damage. The move is also good as a horizontal and even somewhat vertical recovery, as Pac-Man does not fall into helplessness after using it. However, he cannot perform any aerial attacks afterwards. Also, if he hit a wall or floor when eating the Pac-Dots, he will be momentarily stunned. If Pac-Man is hit when he is creating the chain, the Power Pellet will fall and appear in the ground, if someone grab it, the Pellet will recover some health.
Custom Variations
Distant Power Pellet
This Custom Move gives Pac-Man a greater distance when using the Power Pellet. However, he doesn't do as much damage.
Enticing Power Pellet
The second Custom Move will make the Pellet pull other opponents when Pac-Man is creating the chain, however, the move doesn't go as far and takes longer to create.

Trophy Description
Power Pellet
These round, flashing items are found in all four corners of the stage. When PAC-MAN eats one, the normally fearsome ghosts turn blue and run off--that's PAC-MAN's cue to take them out. In Smash Bros., PAC-MAN eats a Power Pellet with his side special, sending him rushing in the direction he was facing.
