Tac is able to run very quickly, making it easy for him to get away after stealing an ability, though it is easily thwarted by tricky terrain. It may also often be the case that Tac steals Kirby's ability, and then immediately falls into a [[bottomless pit]], thus making the ability irretrievable.

Kirby Air Ride
Tac appears as part of a random event in the City Trial mode. Here, he appears in a number of set locations, usually underground, and runs about at random. When he appears, the Kirbys are tasked to find him and smack into him with their vehicles to cause him to drop items he'd 'stolen'. Once enough time passes, or enough items are dropped, Tac takes off using some sort of jet-pack, sometimes trailing more items as he does so.
Kirby Mass Attack
Tac makes an appearance in the Kirby Mass Attack Sub-Game Kirby Brawlball. Here, it occupies the top of the main pinball board and will occasionally steal items that happen nearby.
Super Smash Bros. series
Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS / Wii U

Trivia
- Tac's name spelled backwards is cat, referring to both a copycat and a cat burglar.
