[[Mario]] first sees Croco being chased by [[Mallow]]. When Croco escapes, Mallow starts to cry, and a rainstorm begins. Mario talks to Mallow, who says that Croco stole his grandpa [[Frog Sage]]'s [[Frog Coin]] that Mallow was supposed to trade for a [[Cricket Pie]]. Mario agrees to get the Frog Coin back for Mallow and Mallow joins Mario. They move on to [[Bandit's Way]], where they spot Croco. They chase him, until he hops on blocks to get past the area with boulders blocking the paths. He claims he is "still 100 miles ahead", so Mario and Mallow continue to chase him through Bandit's Way until they hit a dead end. Croco goes into hiding. Mario and Mallow sneak behind him thrice to shock him. Just before Croco is able to run for a fourth time, Mallow yells at him to stop running. Croco claims he will give the coin back, but instead attacks.

In battle, Croco attacks by ramming into a [[party member]] or throwing a bomb. He is weak to fire and, the first time he is hit with a fire attack such as [[Fireball]], his tail catches on fire and he wastes a turn trying to put it out. At low HP, he uses a [[Weird Mushroom (move)|Weird Mushroom]] to heal, and after enough damage is dealt to Croco, Mallow again runs up to him and scolds him, threatening to give another belting to him if the coin is not returned. Croco gives it to the duo, hops around with anger, and leaves.

When Mario, Mallow, and [[Geno]] [[jump]] on a [[trampoline]] in the [[Mole Mines]] that is supposed to be an exit, Mario hits the ceiling of the mines and faints. Croco then proceeds to steal all of Mario's [[coin]]s. After chasing Croco (who is here aided by a trio of [[Crook]]s) again, Mario, Mallow, and Geno battle the purple thief. In this fight, Croco throws bombs more frequently, and his tail no longer catches on fire. Halfway through the battle, Croco steals all of the party's items and his bomb-throwing attack is replaced with [[Monster Toss]]. The stolen items are returned at the end of the fight.

Croco makes a small appearance in [[Nimbus Land]] where Mario catches him looting houses and scares him off, causing Croco to drop a [[Signal Ring]] in the original game, and an [[Echo Signal Ring]] in the remake.

In the ending sequence of the game, Croco is seen racing in the [[Mushroom Derby]] against [[Yoshi]]. Though he loses this race, he is consoled by the bystander [[Boshi]] and the two walk off together.
