Crackpot

Crackpots are enemies from Wario Land: Shake It!. They shoot bullets at Wario, and afterwards, they hide in the pot they are in. They have a great resemblance to Octoroks and Snifits. If Wario shakes its pot (that Wario can pick up if the enemy is stunned), the Crackpot will pop out and shoot in the same direction as Wario faces. This is also a manner to defeat enemies.

They come in two colors, which are red and purple. The purple Crackpots spit out three bullets at a time when Wario carries it around while the red one only spits out one.

Trivia
