Pata[Japanese title] is an enemy that debuted in Kirby Super Star. Originally an enemy only appearing in the stage before the Galactic Nova Nucleus battle, it later returned in Kirby: Planet Robobot as an enemy that can be summoned by the game's secret final boss, now providing the Spark Copy Ability. It vaguely resembles a large, double-sided axe head, with cyan glowing blades.
Game appearances[edit]
Kirby Super Star / Kirby Super Star Ultra[edit]
In Kirby Super Star and its remake, Kirby Super Star Ultra, Patas can only be encountered in the Galactic Nova stage of Milky Way Wishes. They simply move around in groups in pre-determined directions.
Kirby Planet Robobot[edit]
In Kirby: Planet Robobot, Pata appears exclusively in the fourth phase of the battle against Star Dream Soul OS in The True Arena, when summoned by the boss with its "Supervisor Call" attack, alongside Dakugas and Bolums. It provides the Spark Copy Ability when swallowed.
