Klepto begins at the oasis in later missions. Klepto usually flies around the four pillars, especially if it is holding an object.


Klepto has the [[Power Star]] of the mission "[[In the Talons of the Big Bird]]". Mario can strike Klepto to make it let go of the object it has, though he cannot destroy Klepto outright. Without the Power Star, Klepto attempts to steal [[Mario Cap|Mario's cap]] by swooping down at [[Mario]].

There are a few more Kleptos in ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', including [[Sunshine Isles]] and the small version of [[Tiny-Huge Island]]. Kleptos also try to steal [[Luigi Cap|Luigi's]] and [[Wario Cap|Wario's Caps]]. Kleptos can only harm [[Yoshi]], something that is also true for the Klepto of Sunshine Isles to any player character, as well as its inability to steal any [[cap]].

In ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', 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. Klepto appears again in a [[Moon Pipe]] sub-area in the same kingdom, and is defeated in the same manner.

Unlike Klepto in ''Super Mario 64'', it here 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 shady frown instead of a tired-looking expression.{{br|left}}

In ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]'', Kleptos have the role of being enemies. They are comparable to their appearance in ''Super Mario 64'' because four of them fly around the pyramid of the [[Shifting Sands Stage]], though Mario can defeat them to get a star.{{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, similar to Klepto in ''Super Mario 64''. If Mario defeats them, he gets a star.
