A '''Klepto''', also known as '''Klepto the Condor'''<ref>''Super Mario 64'' Player's Guide, pgs. 70&ndash;71</ref> or '''Big Bird''',<ref>Nintendo Power Source (February 24, 1998). [https://web.archive.org/web/19980224211720/http://www.nintendo.com:80/n64/super_mario64/boss12.html Big Bird - (Course 8)]. ''Nintendo: Super Mario 64 Strategy'' (Internet Archive: Wayback Machine). Retrieved February 23, 2018.</ref> is a larcenous, heavy-lidded condor that first appears in ''[[Super Mario 64]]''. Since then, Kleptos have continued to make infrequent appearances in the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. Their name comes from "[[wiktionary:klepto-|klepto-]]," a prefix originating from Ancient Greek and meaning "theft."

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', a Klepto is seen in [[Shifting Sand Land]]. It holds one of the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Castle]]'s [[Power Star]]s, flying around between the course's four pillars, so [[Mario]] must reclaim it from its talons. Mario can attack the bird, knocking it out for a short period of time. The Klepto eventually regains its senses, and after losing the Power Star, it attempts to steal [[Mario Cap|Mario's cap]]. In later stages, the Klepto can be found near the oasis and still attempts to steal his cap. If it does manage to steal it, it will fly around the pillars, carrying it similar to before. If Mario leaves and still has no cap, it remains in the course he lost it in.

The Klepto has the same Power Star and purpose in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. Another Klepto also appears in another level, [[Sunshine Isles]]. A third one makes an appearance on [[Tiny-Huge Island]] when the player character is big. Additionally, while Kleptos steal Mario's, [[Luigi]]'s, and [[Wario]]'s [[cap]]s, they can damage [[Yoshi]].

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', a Klepto is encountered upon reaching the [[Lost Kingdom]]. It takes [[Cappy]] from [[Mario]] and retreats with him on a pedestal, made up of two platforms: one that is raised, and one that is lower. To get Cappy back, Mario must lure Klepto into sitting upon the lower platform, and then Ground Pound the higher one, making the platform Klepto is sitting upon shoot up and defeat it. A Klepto appears again in a [[Moon Pipe]] sub-area in the same kingdom, and is defeated in the same manner.

Unlike the Kleptos of ''Super Mario 64'', this Klepto has two toes pointing forward and one pointing backward on each foot. It shares this trait with the Kleptos of ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''. Also, its design is somewhat different from previous games, with two tufts of hair, visible purple bags underneath its eyes, and a constant frown instead of a tired-looking expression.{{br|left}}

 

 

 

In ''[[Mario Pinball Land ]]'' a group of four Kleptos can be seen flying around the pyramid in the [[Shifting Sands Stage|Shifting Sands]] world. If Mario defeats them, he gets a star.{{br|left}}

A Klepto also appears in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'' on [[Shy Guy's Jungle Jam]]. Players can pay it five coins to be transported to the other side of the board, collecting coins in the process. In [[Paths of Peril]], Klepto picks up players that fall off the stage.

In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', a Klepto has its own [[Klepto Orb|orb]] where, if landed on, it appears and takes the character to another character's space determined by a roulette. They also cameo in the minigame [[Fish Upon a Star]]. In the instruction guide, Klepto's name is erroneously spelled '''Clepto'''.

In ''[[Mario Party 6]]'', a Klepto can be seen flying in the background of [[Pokey Punch-out]]. The Klepto Orb returns as an orb that can only be placed on a space. Any player who lands on it is taken back to the start of the board. In the Solo Mode board [[Thirsty Gulch]], another Klepto can be seen flying around the board.

In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', a unique [[Klepto (character)|Klepto]] guards a treasure chest at [[Klepto Ruins]].

A Klepto makes a few small appearances in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. Landing on one of the [[Event Space|Green Spaces]] in [[Bowser's Enchanted Inferno!]] causes Klepto to grab the Star and move it to another location. Klepto can also be seen in cube form as the tops of totem poles on the [[Neon Heights]] board.

A Klepto makes a minor cameo appearance in ''[[Mario Party 8]]'', holding up the sign at the 5000 point mark for the minigame [[Test for the Best]].

In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', Kleptos can be seen in the background of [[Bask Ruins]]. Unlike in ''Super Mario Odyssey'', these Kleptos' design are now an updated version of their design from ''Super Mario 64'' to ''Mario Party 8''.
