Kracko Jr. is a Mid-Boss in the 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 and blue orbs. Its strategy is comparable to that of the older Kracko, except for the fact that fewer attacks are in Kracko Jr.'s arsenal.

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.

Game appearances

Kirby's Dream Land

Kracko Jr. first appears as a mid-boss in Bubbly Clouds - the fourth level of the game. It attacks in a set pattern, swooping around and dropping bombs. It will also drop a Waddle Doo, which is the means by which Kirby will defeat it.

In Extra Game, Kracko Jr.'s pattern is much more erratic, but strangely enough, Kirby will remain safe if he hides in the left corner.

Kirby's Adventure / Nightmare in Dream Land

Kracko Jr. is encountered at the end of Grape Garden. It is invulnerable, and Kirby has to escape it by jumping upward, preferably using the Hi-Jump ability. When Kirby reaches the top, Kracko Jr. morphs into Kracko to begin the actual fight.

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.

Kirby's Dream Land 2

Kracko Jr. is faced down in the Cloudy Park level. It spends a lot of its time beneath the cloudy floor, poking its eye out to shoot beams or Co-Krackos at Kirby. It occasionally rises fully out of the floor to drop bombs. He can also shoot his orbs at Kirby.

When it is knocked out, it transforms into Kracko and the fight continues.

Kirby's Block Ball

Kracko Jr. appears in Stage 7 in Round 4, where it can be seen patrolling the area. Hitting it four times causes it to retreat and confers 5000 points.

In the boss fight in the following round, Kracko Jr. is faced first, and transforms into Kracko after a few hits.

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. He can also go to the edge of the screen and go in a circle.

Kirby's Blowout Blast

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.

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 Stars with its attacks instead of spawning enemies.
