Kracko: Difference between revisions

Kracko's spikes now have new colors, ranging from orange to green instead of just yellow, a trait that would be carried to later games. Whenever Kracko's body takes a hit, a visible tear drops from his single eye. Upon his health being reduced to half, Kracko's eye and complexion become red, and he opens up with many more attacks after clearing away the background with a whirlwind, making this a factor in the fight. Losing to Kracko twice in a row will result in additional platforms closing the gaps in-between the background pillars, making the fight easier.

Kracko also has a DX version, which is encountered in [[Dededetour!]] and [[The True Arena]]. Instead of being granted power by [[Taranza]], Kracko DX appears immediately after Dedede arrives in his territory. His cloud body is now green, and he has fewer but thicker spikes which are striped in dramatic shades of red and blue, including two right above his eye.

|If on the same plane as Kirby or Dedede, Kracko DX charges up, then fires lightning bolts on both sides of his body, then above and beneath his body. He then fires two diagonal bolts. Any ground-hitting bolts will leave a drop star. In the second phase, he will additionally fire in all vertical and horizontal directions once and once in every diagonal direction to finish the attack.

|-

|If Kracko DX is on a different plane than Kirby, he will attempt to fire three barrages of beam shots into Kirby's or Dedede's plane, which spread across the floor (the first two from one side to the other, the final one from both sides to the middle).<br>The last shot of the barrage leaves a drop star behind.

|-

|While in a different plane than Kirby, Kracko DX shoots out two giant coiled spikes on both sides of his body, then flies into the foreground in an attempt to ram Kirby or Dedede. He then attempts to ram Kirby or Dedede from the side, moving up and down or stopping midway through to make it harder to escape and repeats this from the other side. He finishes off by coming into the foreground from the background while rotating to make his spikes spin.

|Kracko DX turns gray and vibrates violently, releasing all sorts of junk that can be inhaled and spat back, including a [[Parasol Waddle Dee]], finishing with a cannon that Kirby or Dedede can use to fire to a different plane. This part may also be performed before using Lightning Ball or just to bring Kirby or Dedede to a different plane.<br>Sometimes afterward, Kracko inflates to a huge size and then proceeds to zap the entire stage with lightning. Kirby or Dedede have to escape to a different plane to avoid getting hit, and using the cannon is the only option.

|-

|While in the background and Kirby or Dedede is in the foreground, Kracko DX shoots out his big golden spikes from the top of his 'head' and charges up a giant ball of energy, which he then tosses into Kirby's or Dedede's plane in an attempt to hit them.<br>The blast hits the ground, then splits into four smaller blasts and some stars. These smaller blasts can be inhaled as well. The big blast leaves an electric field on the ground for a few seconds.
