- This article is about the duo version of Kracko. For the main version, seeKracko.
| “ | Two eyes glare in the gloom like an angry face in the sky—this isn't what Kracko's like back on Popstar! Twice as fluffy and twice as mean, Twin Kracko's combo attacks are brutal—but they're no match for the power of friendship! | ” | — VS Twin Kracko |
Twin Kracko is aboss fought inKirby Star Allies. They are encountered on theGabbel Moon stage inFar-Flung Starlight Heroes, right afterKracko is defeated, and the two clouds share and retain his design. They are also fought inGuest Star ???? Star Allies Go! andThe Ultimate Choice - again after Kracko himself is defeated (although back-to-back in the same round).
Overview[edit]
Twin Kracko possess most of the same attacks asKracko solo, but they coordinate their attacks to cover a great deal more ground at once. They are also individually larger than Kracko solo, making it slightly harder to dodge their swooping movements. However, they are not without their weaknesses, as when they perform their rain attack, they can be greatly harmed byZap element moves or even frozen byBlizzard element moves.
Twin Kracko have 720 HP in Story Mode andGuest Star ???? Star Allies Go!, and 540 HP inThe Ultimate Choice (both Krackos share the samehealth bar; for reference, aStar Bullet does 52damage).
When defeated, they "dizzily" move to the middle of the area where they lost their cloud "body" as their eye explodes.
Attacks[edit]
The following table lists all of Twin Kracko's attacks inKirby Star Allies. Attack names are taken from page 295 of theKirby Star Allies Perfect Support Guide unless otherwise stated.
| Twin Kracko's attacks inKirby Star Allies | |
|---|---|
| Attack | Description |
| ツインウォーターフォール Twin Waterfall | Twin Kracko begins pouring torrents of rain below themselves, leaving manyDropped Stars when finished. They can pour either one long torrent or a series of 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 Kracko that gets caught in the torrent of water will repeatedly take damage. Both Krackos take 0.5× damage during Twin Waterfall. If the waterfall takes enoughBlizzard element attacks (even from a single character), it will cause Twin Kracko to freeze and fall down for a few seconds. Frozen Twin Kracko take 2× damage. Each time the waterfall takes aZap element attack, it does 10 damage to Twin Kracko. |
| ツインエネミー降らし Twin Enemy Drop | Twin Kracko can drop eitherChilly orWaddle Doo, one from both stormclouds. Ironically, these enemies yield theCopy Abilities both Krackos are weak to. |
| ツインダンシング Twin Dancing | Twin Kracko tackles and swoops across the stage in unison, doing so in very similar manners to that of regular Kracko. |
| ツインイナズマレイン Twin Lightning Rain | Twin Kracko fires 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 Krackos take 0.7× damage during the green lightning bolts and take 0.5× damage during the purple lightning bolts. |
| ツインビーム Twin Beam | Twin Kracko fires 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 Krackos take 0.7× damage during Twin Beam. |
Both Krackos need to be in certain positions of the battlefield before they can perform certain attacks. If a Kracko is continuously attacked by Kirby or his allies, then it will take a while before their next attack in the cycle.[1]
Both Krackos attack in a fixed order on loop as follows:
- Twin Waterfall x3
- Twin Enemy Drop
- Twin Dancing [W motion]
- Twin Lightning Rain
- Enemy Drop
- Twin Beam [starting on one side and then moving to the other]
- Twin Dancing [regular tackle]
- Twin Waterfall
- Enemy Drop
- Twin Dancing [ground swoop]
- Twin Lightning Rain [green lightning bolts]
- Twin Beam x2 [stationary in two positions on the arena each]
- Enemy Drop
- Twin Dancing [W motion]
- Twin Dancing [regular tackle]
- Twin Dancing [ground swoop]
If one Kracko is frozen during a Twin Waterfall attack and the other is not, the other Kracko proceeds to use his Beam Whip attack before the frozen Kracko de-frosts himself. Once done, the attack loop continues from there.
Trivia[edit]
- Twin Kracko can be considered a counterpart ofTwin Woods. BothWhispy Woods andKracko are the most recurringbosses in theKirby series, and individuals of both species are found on other planets besidesPlanet Popstar.
