'''Crack-Tweet''' is an enemy which appears in very early [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'']] games, first appearing in ''[[Kirby's Pinball Land]]''. It resembles a small, yellow chick not unlike [[Twizzy]], which possesses a red beak and feet, as well as three strands of hair on its head. It is initially found in a white egg with a horizontal crack running through it. When hatched, Crack-Tweet can also be distinguished from Twizzy in that Crack-Tweet has a proportionally smaller head and more frizzy appearance.

While inside the egg, Crack-Tweet does nothing but make small hops. If it falls a certain distance or [[Kirby]] attacks it in this state, the egg breaks, causing the chick to hatch from it. The shell may also be removed by inhaling it. Outside of it, the bird is able to make small jumps, as well as flap its wings to slow down its fall and attempt to fly over obstacles it runs into. Exposed, a Crack-Tweet can be defeated instantly by any attack.
