Pacto is abig yellow hoveringenemy that debuted inKirby's Dream Land 3. It vaguely resemblesPac-Man, but possesses a single big, round eye and red teeth. If it catchesKirby in its mouth, it chews him up and spits him out again, similarly to aPeloo or aMaw. Pactos do not grant aCopy Ability when inhaled.
Pacto makes its debut appearance in this game. It is not a terribly common enemy, but its look and behavior were established in this title. Notably, in this game, it could not be inhaled at all.
Pacto appears as an invulnerable hazard inKirby: Canvas Curse, where it jumps out of pits constantly to eat anyone who closes in on it. Pacto attacks much faster in this game than it does in the main series.
Pacto makes another appearance inKirby: Triple Deluxe, with identical functionality to the previous appearance. This time, however, its alternate variety is found inWild World and is a flowery variant called aPacflower. The regular version of Pacto only appears instage 3 ofOld Odyssey. Pacto also appears on a randomly obtainedkeychain, using its sprite fromKirby's Dream Land 3.
Pacto reappears inKirby: Planet Robobot, serving the same purpose as before, though this time with no alternate variant. It is an uncommon enemy, only appearing instages 1 and7 EX ofGigabyte Grounds.
