{{distinguish|the juvenile form of Kracko|[[Li'l Kracko]]}}
'''Kracko Jr.''' is a [[Mid-Boss]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] and a juvenile form of [[Kracko]], first appearing in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. Its appearance is similar to that of Kracko before he becomes puffier, consisting of a single eye surrounded by pink balls. Its strategy is comparable to that of the older Kracko, except for the fact that fewer attacks are in Kracko Jr.'s arsenal.
'''Kracko Jr.''' is a [[boss]] in the [[Kirby (series)|''Kirby'' series]] and a juvenile form of [[Kracko]], first appearing in ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]''. His appearance consists of a single eye surrounded by four cloudy orbs which typically hang in place, though they can and do often spin around the central eye. Most games portray these orbs with a pink coloration to them, though Kracko Jr.'s artwork in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'' has two pink and two light blue, complimenting the color scheme of the mature Kracko's body accents. Kracko Jr.'s attack strategy is comparable to that of Kracko, except that fewer attacks are in Kracko Jr.'s arsenal, meaning he is generally considered to be an easier version of the full-fledged Kracko. Some games, such as ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', have Kirby battle Kracko Jr. initially, only for him to transform into Kracko proper later in the fight.


Kracko Jr. is sometimes faced in the middle of a stage, and can thus sometimes be considered a [[Mid-Boss]] in certain circumstances, though his behavior and properties more align with a proper boss (the most notable being that he is not [[inhale]]d after defeat). In other instances, such as in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]'', Kracko Jr. is not fought at all, since he immediately transforms into Kracko proper after appearing.
Despite being a Mid-Boss, Kracko Jr. is destroyed immediately after its defeat and cannot be inhaled, making it more similar to a [[boss]] in this respect.

===''Kirby's Dream Land''===
[[File:KDL Kracko Jr sprite.png]] In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land]]'', Kracko Jr. first appears as a mid-boss in [[Bubbly Clouds]] - the fourth level of the game. He attacks in a set pattern, swooping around and dropping cannonballs. He will also drop a [[Waddle Doo]], which is the means by which Kirby will defeat him.

In [[Extra Game]], Kracko Jr.'s pattern is much more erratic. He no longer drops Waddle Doos, instead releasing a line of bombs that slowly descend to the ground. Additionally, he gains an attack where he bounces along the ground before attempting to ram into Kirby. Strangely enough, Kirby will remain safe if he hides in the left corner, only needing to dodge Kracko Jr.'s charging attack.

[[File:KA Kracko Jr sprite.png]] In ''[[Kirby's Adventure]]'' and ''[[Kirby: Nightmare in Dream Land|its remake]]'', Kracko Jr. is encountered at the end of [[Grape Garden]]. He is invulnerable, and Kirby has to escape him by jumping upward, preferably using the [[Hi-Jump]] ability. When Kirby reaches the top, Kracko Jr. morphs into [[Kracko]] to begin the actual fight.

In ''[[Kirby's Pinball Land]]'', Kracko Jr. appears during the first phase of the boss fight in [[Kracko Land]]. He moves back and forth in the air, and may attack by charging at Kirby. Hitting him four times causes him to transform into Kracko, though he cannot be hit while charging forward.

[[File:KDL2 Kracko sprite 1.png]] In ''[[Kirby's Dream Land 2]]'', Kracko Jr. is faced down in the [[Cloudy Park (Kirby's Dream Land 2)|Cloudy Park]] level. He spends a lot of its time beneath the cloudy floor, poking his eye out to shoot beams or Co-Krackos at Kirby. He occasionally rises fully out of the floor to drop bombs. He can also shoot his orbs at Kirby.

[[File:KSSU Crash Clouds screenshot 5.png|thumb|150px|Kirby battles Kracko Jr.'s Revenge in [[Crash Clouds]] in ''Kirby Super Star Ultra''.]]
Kracko Jr. appears in [[Spring Breeze]], much like it did in ''Kirby's Dream Land''. It also appears as '''Kracko Jr.'s Revenge''' in [[Revenge of the King]], who is a tougher version of Kracko Jr., hence the name. His attacks are improved from that of Kracko Jr.'s. He now drops five bombs instead of three, he spawns a [[Waddle Doo]] less often, and he moves noticeably faster than before.

===''Kirby & The Amazing Mirror''===
{{clear}}
Kracko Jr. makes a very brief appearance in ''[[Kirby & The Amazing Mirror]]''. He floats down from the sky in [[Mustard Mountain]] and transforms almost immediately into Kracko proper before the boss fight begins. As such, Kracko Jr. is not fought in this game.

{{Main|Block Attack}}
In this spin-off title, Kracko Jr. serves as the boss of Level 2, and its ''Revenge'' variant serves as the Boss of Level 2-EX, and appears again on Secret Path.
Kracko Jr. appears in the [[Block Attack]] boss game in ''[[Kirby: Canvas Curse]]'' as the final obstacle when playing in Level 1. Kracko Jr. does not have much means to fight Kirby in this incarnation, and only moves around the room he is found in. To defeat him, Kirby must avoid his cloud orbs and crash into his eye four times.


===''Kirby Mass Attack''===
It attacks similarly to Kracko, but is a bit milder, with less swooping, less speed, and less beams out at a time. Unlike in most games, Kracko Jr. will generate [[Recoil Star]]s with its attacks instead of spawning enemies.
Kracko Jr. appears as an enemy in the ''[[Kirby Mass Attack]]'' [[Sub-Game]] [[Strato Patrol EOS]], prior to the battle with Kracko proper. Interestingly, in this game, he has three orbs instead of four.

Unlike in most games, Kracko Jr. will generate [[Dropped Star]]s with his attacks instead of spawning enemies.
