Tacs (タック, Takku) are cat-like ninja-dressed enemies from the Kirby series that act as the only source of the Copy ability in the games. Tacs appear as enemies in the Smash Run mode for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS, who steal power-ups from the fighters. In addition, they appear as a random event in the Smash Tour mode for Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, where they give out power-ups to players who run into them.

Trophy Description

This zippy character appears in the Kirby series. In Smash Bros., he'll appear in Smash Run to try to steal your stat boosts from you. How much he steals depends on how much you've improved your stats. If you can catch him, you can get back whatever he stole. Don't give up!

Origin

Tac made its first appearance in the Kirby series as an enemy in Kirby Super Star. In the game, Tac has the unique ability to steal either the copy ability that Kirby currently has or his partner character. Kirby generally might have to defeat the Tac to get the ability or partner back. If Tac is swallowed by Kirby, he is able to gain the unusual ability of Copy, which allows him to copy the abilities of enemies in front of him much like his basic Inhale abilities. However, since Kirby cannot copy enemies by inhaling in Milky Way Wishes, once Kirby gets the Copy ability, he can copy enemies. In addition, like most other copy abilities, Kirby can sacrifice the ability to summon Tac as an ally. In Kirby's Return to Dream Land, it gives him the Ninja ability.
