Parallel Twin Kracko, titledUnearthly Storm Front, is a duoboss who first appeared inHeroes in Another Dimension ofKirby Star Allies. This boss is based onTwin Kracko in the main Story Mode, though it is fought at the start of the battle, and later transforms intoParallel Big Kracko.

Origin[edit]

All worlds—whether in another dimension or some far-flung galaxy—are bound by earth and sky. And where there is sky, there is Kracko! Made of fallen tears and the scattered mists of his enemies, Kracko roars with dark power.
— VS Parallel Twin Kracko (English)

The English localization of Parallel Twin Kracko's pause flavor text doesn't fully describe their origin. The following is the original Japanese text:

そこが異空間アナザーディメンションだろうと、まった別次元べつじげん世界せかいだろうと、
天地てんちは かならず そこにある! そして、そこにそら
あるかぎり、モクモクとどろき何度なんどでもまれる!
ナミダをながんでいった、どうほうたちつよ
はんぎゃくのこころが、異界いかいそらいまつどったのだ!

Translation: "Even if it is Another Dimension or the completely different world, the sky and land always exists! And when there are clouds, it resurrects numerously in clouds! The strong hearts of the fellows who passed on with tears is gathered in the sky of Another Dimension!"


— VS Parallel Twin Kracko (Japanese)

They describe that Parallel Twin Kracko was made of tears and the rebellious hearts ofKracko's fallen fellows (どうほうたち). In other words, the origin of Parallel Twin Kracko is similar toParallel Woods: They were born from their grudges of being defeated countlessly byKirby throughoutthe series. This origin story is also similarly described in the Chinese and Korean versions.[1][2] Strangely enough, Kracko's parallel counterpart was born as twins, being the stronger version ofTwin Kracko instead.

Parallel Woods, Parallel Twin Kracko/Parallel Big Kracko,Parallel Meta Knight andParallel Dedede are referred to as異界四天王いかいしてんのう (The Otherworldly Four Heavenly Kings).

Physical appearance[edit]

Parallel Twin Kracko and Parallel Big Kracko have a much darker color scheme thanKracko. Their bodies consist of black clouds with red spikes around and yellow eyes with red and black pupils.

The two parallel twin Krackos are as big as the originalKracko and his duplicate were during his own second phase.

Boss battle[edit]

Parallel Twin Kracko appear in the following game modes:

Notes
Heroes in Another DimensionDimension II800They appear as theboss at the end of Dimension II.

The Ultimate ChoiceSoul Melter EX600They appear in the first half of the 4th battle.

Parallel Twin Kracko possesses both the exact same attacks and fight in the exact same way asTwin Kracko on theGabbel Moon; the only difference is that they deal moredamage. Their Twin Waterfall attack can still be frozen byBlizzard-element attacks or electrocuted byZap-element attacks.

The following table lists all of Parallel Twin Kracko's attacks inKirby Star Allies. Attack names are derived from Twin Kracko's attacks from page 295 of theKirby Star Allies Perfect Support Guide unless otherwise stated.

Parallel Twin Kracko's attacks inKirby Star Allies  
AttackDescription
ツインウォーターフォール
Twin Waterfall
Both Parallel Krackos begin pouring torrents of rain below themselves, leaving manyDropped Stars when finished. They can pour either one long torrent or two short and one long torrents.Parasol Kirby orParasol Waddle Dee can protect the user from the rain; theChumbrella can protect other allies underneath. Any enemy Waddle Doo or Chilly summoned by a Parallel Kracko that gets caught in the torrent of water will repeatedly take damage. Both Parallel Krackos take 0.5× damage during Twin Waterfall. If the waterfall takes enough damage fromBlizzard element attacks, it will cause the affected Parallel Kracko to freeze and fall down for a few seconds. A frozen Parallel Kracko takes 2× damage. Each time the waterfall takes aZap element, it does 10 damage to the affected Parallel Kracko.
ツインエネミー降らし
Twin Enemy Drop
Both Parallel Krackos can drop eitherChilly orWaddle Doo, one from both stormclouds. Ironically, these enemies yield theCopy Abilities both Parallel Krackos are weak to.
ツインダンシング
Twin Dancing
Both Parallel Krackos tackle and swoop across the stage in unison, doing so in very similar manners to that of the regular Kracko.
ツインイナズマレイン
Twin Lightning Rain
Both Parallel Krackos fire green lightning bolts while moving twice. They may sometimes go back to the middle and fire more potent purple lightning bolts that leave sparks on the ground. Both Parallel Krackos take 0.7× damage during the green lightning bolt portion and take 0.5× damage during the purple lightning bolt portion.
ツインビーム
Twin Beam
Both Parallel Krackos fire swirlingbeam whips around themselves. They may perform this while moving across the stage or may stay stationary before moving to another location and repeating the process. Both Parallel Krackos take 0.7× damage during Twin Beam.

Both Parallel Krackos need to be in certain positions of the battlefield before they can perform certain attacks. If a Parallel Kracko is continuously attacked by Kirby or his allies, then it will take a while before their next attack in the cycle.[3]

Both Parallel Krackos attack in a fixed order on loop as follows:

  1. Twin Waterfall x3
  2. Twin Enemy Drop
  3. Twin Dancing [W motion]
  4. Twin Lightning Rain
  5. Enemy Drop
  6. Twin Beam [starting on one side and then moving to the other]
  7. Twin Dancing [regular tackle]
  8. Twin Waterfall
  9. Enemy Drop
  10. Twin Dancing [ground swoop]
  11. Twin Lightning Rain [green lightning bolts]
  12. Twin Beam x2 [stationary in two positions on the arena each]
  13. Enemy Drop
  14. Twin Dancing [W motion]
  15. Twin Dancing [regular tackle]
  16. Twin Dancing [ground swoop]

If one Parallel Kracko is frozen during a Twin Waterfall attack and the other is not, the other Parallel Kracko proceeds to use his Beam Whip attack before the frozen Parallel Kracko de-frosts himself. Once done, the attack loop continues from there.
