(First topic)[edit]

I'm unsure whether Krosshair is a character or just a trap/obstacle; also if Krosshair is a living being, is it just one character or several? -- Sir Grodus

Krosshair would be some sort of living character or creature, it's just off-screen. The creature does talk to you. I would imagine Krosshair is a species, as they appear in various levels, but it just may be that the character travels to all these places. I would place both categories (character and species) and maybe indicate at the end that it is unknown if there is more than one Krosshair. -- Son of Suns
I think there is more than one Krosshair because they are in more than one building. YoshiwakerTyranitar.png

K, I'll just stick some info. about that at the bottom of the page. Just a thought, the level where Krosshair first appears is called Krackshot Krock, maybe he/its a Kremling? -- Sir Grodus

I just found something else, my DK64 guidebook calls Krosshair a "K. Rool weapon". -- Sir Grodus

Possibly some type of machine? And does your guidebook officially state the name Krosshair? If so, we can remove the conjecture template--Knife, the guy who just asks questions, but does nothing on the wiki 00:14, 8 December 2006 (EST)

No, I just made the name Krosshair up, I spelt it with a K so it would fit in with the Kremlings, which I originally thought it was. -- Sir Grodus

I think He's called Krackshot because his level is called Krackshot Krock P.S. GET OUT!!! User:Mecha-Boss Unit

That should be quoted in the article. Anyway, it still doesn't prove that its the official name.--Knife (talk) 13:10, 4 October 2009 (EDT)

I'm not sure, all I know is that I'm probably the only person on the earth hasn't ever been scared by his whole get out thingy. User:Mecha-Boss Unit

Yeah, especially when it's "GET OUT!!" ((1 second timer appears) *BOOM!* YoshiwakerTyranitar.png 14:04, 14 December 2010 (UTC)

I beleive that we should change the name back to Krosshair after I found out that its Japanese name is 照準 (Shōjun), meaning "Aiming Sight," which is a synonim for crosshair. --Tailikku1 (talk) 19:32, 29 October 2014 (EDT)

Kroc's possible image[edit]

So... why is it not on the Mario Wiki yet? I mean, we don't know if it's really Kroc and all that, but I guess it would be better to put it here instead of putting a link to the picture (like I did in my question).

Actual Name[edit]

Are we sure that this dude's name is Krock? It looks to me like a generic name on par with Swimming Beast in the Cavern and In the Talons of the Big Bird. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 07:31, November 30, 2024 (EST)

This game has level names like Skidda's Row, Bazza's Blockade, Kreeping Klasps, Blazing Bazukas, Buzzer Barrage, Lemguin Lunge, Swoopy Salvo, and Koindozer Klamber; it would be extremely strange for "Krack Shot Kroc" to be the one time it doesn't refer to the enemy featured in it.

In Donkey Kong 64, this guy presents something of a conundrum. It's pretty clearly him but he's not referred to by name anywhere, not in-game nor the various strategy guides. What do we do? PrincessPeachFan (talk) 19:46, March 26, 2025 (EDT)
