Stactus is a commonenemy which is encountered exclusively inKirby Mass Attack, appearing primarily inSandy Canyon. It is a small round green plant-like creature with a cat-like face, remaining motionless. As its name implies, it often stacks on top of others of its kind, with the top Stactus taking on an orange hue. Each Stactus is worth 100 points when defeated.

Characteristics[edit]

Being desert-themed enemies, Stactuses are first encountered inSandy Canyon, the second level of the game. They come in three different colors (green, cyan and orange), which determine their behavior:

• Green Stactuses may either be stationary or move slowly towards theKirbys, occasionally stopping and extending their spikes; in order to defeat them, they must be pummeled while their spines are retracted or the Kirbys will take damage and be thrown off.
• Orange Stactuses are stationary and harmless by themselves, their main purpose being to rest on top of a stack of differently colored Stactuses and serve as a means of obliterating the entire stack by slamming them downwards.
• Cyan Stactuses are likewise stationary and always have their spines extended, making them invincible to direct attacks and permanently harmful to touch. They usually form stacks below an orange Stactus, requiring the Kirbys to defeat the enemy on top of them instead, thus slamming it down and eliminating the cyan ones below it.

Unlike many other creatures, Stactus will not sink in quicksand. Apart from the regular kind, two larger varieties of Stactus exist in the game:Big Stactus andBigger Stactus. There is also a separate variety that wobbles known as aCrazy Stactus.
