When Mario first meets Klepto in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', he is holding a [[Power Star]]. Needing the star, Mario knocks the item out of the bird's grip and claims it for himself; therefore, Klepto's subsequent obsession with stealing Mario's hat could be a way of getting back at Mario for stealing his Power Star. Mario can attack the bird, knocking him out for short periods of time. Klepto, eventually, will regain his senses and continue trying to steal the hat. Without his hat, Mario takes more damage when attacked. If he leaves and still has no hat, it is in the level.

Additionally, though Klepto only steals heroes' caps, he will attack and cause harm if he glances [[Yoshi]] in the vicinity even if Yoshi uses any of the plumber's [[Cap]]s.
