Cherry is a fruit that can be found in the video games Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man. It is well-known for being the very first fruit to appear in maze games. In Ms. Pac-Man, the cherry is more difficult to catch because it bounces away from the player and passes through a tunnel after three rounds of the Ghost box.
In the Pac-Man and Ms. Pac-Man games, the cherry is worth 100 points. It is worth 1,000 points in Pac-Mania, Pac-Man Championship Edition and the DX edition, but only 300 points in Pac-Man Arrangement.
