'''Krack Shot Kroc''' is the twenty-fourth [[level]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]''. It is also the fourth area of [[K3]].
'''Krack Shot Kroc''', originally spelled '''Krack-Shot Kroc''', is the twenty-fourth [[level]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie Kong's Double Trouble!]]'' and the fourth level of [[K3]]. Krack Shot Kroc is the last factory level. For most of the level, the Kongs are transformed as [[Squitter]], who must use his web platforms to travel throughout the factory. This includes traversing large gaps or going up to higher platforms. The main obstacle of the level is [[Kroc]], who is represented by a crosshair that shoots individual fireballs at Squitter. A warning sign at the start even warns the starting point where Kroc begins aiming at Squitter. There are opportunities where Squitter can hide behind a metal wall to dodge Kroc's fireballs.

The level begins with a straight pathway into a small gap. Jumping into this gap takes Dixie and Kiddy into a [[Animal Barrel|Squitter Barrel]], turning both of them into Squitter. He then falls through the rest of the small gap to land near [[KONG Letters|the letter K]]. Squitter must head down the path to the right and defeat a few Bristles with his webs. Shortly after building web platforms to reach the top of a ledge, he should meet the Kroc, who tries to attack him throughout the rest of the level. There are a few Bristles in this area, whom must be defeated by Squitter. A few stair-like platforms are also farther into the level. The spider needs to climb them and build web platforms to the area in the top left corner of the screen. There, he can find a straight pathway leading across a [[bubbling cauldron]], along with some Bristles. After crossing over another bubbling cauldron, he should find a high ledge leading to the next area, where he needs to climb upwards with his web platforms and find two more tubs of fire. Crossing them and a lone red Buzz, he should find the letter O above the next two cauldrons. There is a [[Star Barrel]] right after this area, and it marks the halfway point when hit.  


For most of this factory level, the Kongs play as [[Squitter]]. The problem here is that this level is guarded by [[Krosshair]], who tries to shoot Squitter for most of their visit to this level. The only option Squitter has here is to avoid Krosshair's attacks. In one of the [[Bonus Area|Bonus Level]]s, the tides turn, and the Kongs get to control Krosshair to shoot the enemies in a ''Destroy Them All'' challenge. Squitter turns into the [[Steel Keg]] needed to defeat [[Koin]] near the end, so the Kongs only have one chance to beat him. Besides the Krosshair, [[Bristles]], [[Re-Koil]]s and [[Buzz (species)|Buzzes]] can be found here.
About halfway into the level, Squitter needs to pass another two bubbling cauldrons and travel upwards around several Buzzes to reach the next floor. On this floor, there is another tub of fire to cross, as well as a pathway down the area. The letter N is not too far from here, and it is located above the next two bubbling cauldrons. Squitter must cross the cauldrons and move through a narrow, Re-Koin infested passage to notice more fire below him. After crossing it, he should climb upwards again and head right at the top floor. There is a dead-end at the end of this pathway, so Squitter's only option is to use more of his web platforms to climb upwards, dodging a few Buzzes. There are a few more Re-Koils at the top of this area, as well as more tubs of fire. Squitter has to cross the three cauldrons and head past a "No Kroc Sign". At that point, the Kroc stops following the spider, so he can safely travel into the nearby gap, where a [[No Animal Sign|No Squitter sign]] can be found. Crossing it turns him back into the Kongs, who must then raise the flag on the nearby flagpole, ending the level.

Krack Shot Kroc is the last factory level. For most of the level, the Kongs are transformed as Squitter, who must use his web platforms to travel throughout the factory. This includes traversing large gaps or going up to higher platforms. The main obstacle of the level is Kroc, who is represented by a crosshair that shoots individual fireballs at Squitter.

The level begins with a straight pathway into a small gap. Jumping into this gap takes Dixie and Kiddy into a Squitter Barrel, turning both of them into Squitter. He then falls through the rest of the small gap to land near the letter K. Squitter must head down the path to the right and defeat a few Bristles with his webs. Shortly after building web platforms to reach the top of a ledge, he should meet the Kroc, who tries to attack him throughout the rest of the level. There are a few Bristles in this area, whom must be defeated by Squitter. A few stair-like platforms are also farther into the level. The spider needs to climb them and build web platforms to the area in the top left corner of the screen. There, he can find a straight pathway leading across a bubbling cauldron, along with some Bristles. After crossing over another bubbling cauldron, he should find a high ledge leading to the next area, where he needs to climb upwards with his web platforms and find two more tubs of fire. Crossing them and a lone red Buzz, he should find the letter O above the next two cauldrons. There is a Star Barrel right after this area, and it marks the halfway point when hit.

About halfway into the level, Squitter needs to pass another two bubbling cauldrons and travel upwards around several Buzzes to reach the next floor.
