Video Game / Friday Night Funkin': Vs. Pac Man

Friday Night Funkin': Vs Pac-Man is a Crossover Game Mod for FNF created by The Pac-Man Dev Team^note No, not the official team behind Pac-Man. — directed by GhostBunBun, where Boyfriend gets trapped in a Pac-Man arcade machine by Daddy Dearest for trying to impress Girlfriend with her Pac-Man skills. Upon being greeted by the titular Pac-Man (and Ms. Pac-Man), BF immediately instigates a rap battle with the man of pac, which is later followed by the other inhabitants of the arcade machine.

Vs. Pac-Man provides examples of:

• Adaptation Species Change: A variant for one song. In "Dig", Boyfriend and Girlfriend are depicted as enemies of Taizo's home game — BF being a Pooka and GF a Fygar.
• The Cameo: At the tail end of "Dig", several Fygars and Pookas show up to observe the song, causing Taizo to get stressed out. On the Fygars' side, some of them show some menacing nightmare faces. The Pookas, on the other hand, make rather cute faces, despite being obscured by their cave's darkness.
• Clingy Jealous Girl: Pinky, due to her implied crush on Pac-Man, sports an angry look when Ms. Pac takes the stage for "Midway", even on her 8-bit sprite in the prior cutscene.
• Composite Character: Pac-Man, Ms. Pac-Man and the Ghosts are each a mix of their original arcade styles and their Pac-Man World personalities.
• Creator Cameo: For the latter half of "Mania", almost a dozen characters are revealed to be spectating BF's rap/play session with the Pac-Man arcade, each of them being the developers for the mod.
• Funny Background Event: During most of the cutscenes in the main week, Inky's appears to have a spaced out or derpy look to him, even in his pixelated sprites, often not taking notice of the events that occur.
• Mythology Gag:
  • In the ghost's room for "Cornered" there's a floor plan of the maze, with one of the details being a yellow question mark in the lower middle. In the classic Pac-Man game, staying in that exact spot with the right setup can result in the ghosts circling the area unable to find Pac-Man, thanks to a quirk in their path-finding.
  • When Pac-Man shows up near the end of "Cornered" to confront Blinky, he shows up on the scene by rolling in, akin to the rev roll move in Pac-Man World.
  • In "Mood Shift", Pac-Man goes through several different moods throughout the song thanks to Boyfriend pelting him in the face with a microphone thrice: starting off happy, to nervous, to sad, and finally angry. In New Adventures, Pac-Man's mood is a gameplay mechanic where he shifts from mood to mood based on what happens to him, and one of the ways to change his mood in a similar manner to the events of the song is by pelting him with the slingshot.
  • In "Ghostly", two/thirds of the way through Skeebo's hijacking of the song, he suddenly start inexplicably singing in an angelic tune, a showcase of his Hidden Depths as a singer in Ghostly Adventures.
  • "Freebase" is a wholesale reference to the "Here Comes Pac-Man" video. The Game Over screen is even a straight rip of the animation of Pac-Man dancing at the end of the video.
• No Ending: It's never shown whether Boyfriend and Girlfriend managed to escape from the arcade cabinet or not. All you get for beating the main week is a cutscene with Boyfriend telling you that the freeplay songs are unlocked.
• Offscreen Teleportation: Considering Boyfriend got sent to the stratosphere by Skeebo's shoulder tackle, going by his echoed scream flying away, he somehow manages to appear behind Skeebo after the latter's angelic singing aided by a Blackground, all of which happens under a minute.
• Perpetual Frowner: Ms. Pac-Man rarely ever shows a grin throughout the whole mod, presumably thinking the worst of either GF or BF. If the player gets a combo break during "Pakku", she drops the frown for a moment and cheekily sticks her tongue out at BF, and some of her poses during "Midway" are of the smug sort.
• Promoted to Playable: Halfway through "Ghostly", when Skeebo knocks BF away to take his microphone and hog the spotlight as his opponent, Pacster gets the playable role until Skeebo gets dragged off by the ghosts for BF to retrieve his mic.
• Rage Breaking Point: Pac-Man in "Mood Shift", having got a microphone pelted in his face three times throughout the song, lets his rage known by his shout that's later followed by more aggressive singing.
• Trapped in TV Land: The plot of the main week kicks off when Daddy Dearest traps Boyfriend and Girlfriend into a Pac-Man arcade cabinet.
