Cackling Paintings[Japanese title] are enemies featured inKirby: Canvas Curse. They are old, colorless photo frames that only appear in the final level,The World of Drawcia. They have the ability to levitate in midair.

Cackling Paintings are large and somewhat unsettling, as their faces will appear and then track Kirby's movements while they giggle menacingly (presumably mirroringDrawcia's own laughter). However, they are unable to harm Kirby. They can be defeated by tapping on them with theNintendo DS stylus, and removing every Cackling Painting from the area they appear in causes aMedal to appear.

Cackling Paintings are the only enemy inKirby: Canvas Curse that aren't listed during the staff credits, and thus not receiving an official English name. They are instead named in Japanese-exclusive encyclopedia20th Anniversary Kirby Pupupu Encyclopedia.

Trivia[edit]

  • One of the possible names for online KirbyCPU inKirby's Dream Buffet is "CacklnPnt". This is the closest thing the enemy got to an official English name, or any acknowledgment outside ofKirby: Canvas Curse.
