| '''Li'l Kracko''', originally known as '''Co-Kracko''', is an [[enemy]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]]. It is a smaller version of [[Kracko]] that assists him in battle.
| |
|
| |
| ==Characteristics==
| |
| Li'l Kracko, as its name implies, is a smaller version of Kracko. Compared to Kracko, it is significantly smaller, and its eye is simpler. It has only four spikes, which are more blunt than those of Kracko. In earlier appearances, it was portrayed as pure white. Its most recent appearances depict it as blue on top with pink fading toward the bottom, identical to Kracko.
| |
|
| |
| Li'l Krackos are never seen apart from Kracko, and are used as disposable ammunition. In ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]'', Li'l Krackos are able to charge with electricity before homing in on [[Kirby]].
| |
|
| |
| ==Game appearances==
| |
| ===''Kirby's Dream Land 2''===
| |
| [[File:KDL2 Co-Kracko sprite.png]] Co-Kracko first appears in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'' during the boss battle against Kracko. In the first phase of the battle, [[Kracko Jr.]] releases Co-Krackos when emerging from and reentering the cloud platform. In the second phase, Kracko can summon Co-Krackos at any time. Co-Krackos float across the screen after spawning, and [[Kirby]] can [[inhale]] them and use them as projectiles to damage Kracko.
| |
|
| |
| ===''Kirby's Toy Box''===
| |
| Co-Kracko appears alongside Kracko as an obstacle in the Pinball minigame of ''[[Kirby's Toy Box]]''. Hitting Co-Kracko will grant the player 30 points, and cause Kirby to bounce off.
| |
|
| |
| ===''Kirby's Dream Land 3''===
| |
| While Kracko and Co-Kracko do not appear physically in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 3]]'', a painting of Kracko is created by [[Ado]] to fight Kirby. This painted Kracko is capable of summoning painted Co-Krackos, which bounce on the ground. They once again serve as the main projectile against the boss.
| |
|
| |
| ===''Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble''===
| |
| Enemies that strongly resemble Co-Kracko (but have not been officially confirmed to be the same) appear in the first boss battle against Kracko in ''[[Kirby Tilt 'n' Tumble]]''. Here, they are Kracko's main method of attack, and he sends them downward toward Kirby. They can be defeated with one [[Air Bullet]].
| |
|
| |
| ===''Kirby's Epic Yarn'' / ''Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn''===
| |
| Now renamed '''Li'l Krackos''', Kracko's minions once again appear in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]''. Li'l Krackos appear as enemies in the [[Star Shooter]] section of [[Cloud Palace]]. Upon their appearance, they crackle with electricity before homing in on Kirby. Li'l Krackos are defeated with a single projectile, but appear in large groups to compensate for this. Groups of Li'l Krackos are also summoned by Kracko in the boss battle later in the stage. In this game, they are made of cotton and pipe cleaners, with a button eye.
| |
|
| |
|
| | '''Li'l Kracko''' is a smaller variant of [[Kracko]] that is spawned by its larger version. Its only means of attack is to electrify itself, then attempt to fly into [[Kirby]]. It can be shot down easily using the [[Star Shooter]]'s projectiles, but it often comes in large groups, making taking all of them down a tricky prospect. Li'l Kracko appears in ''[[Kirby's Epic Yarn]]'' and ''[[Kirby's Extra Epic Yarn]]'' in the [[Cloud Palace]] stage both on its own and during the fight with [[Kracko]]. |
