The [https://archive.org/details/Nintendo_Players_Guide_SNES_Donkey_Kong_Country_1994 Player's Guide] seems to spell the name in camel case. I know the instruction manual takes higher priority, but since the in-game credits capitalises every letter of the enemies' names, is it possible "RockKroc" was what they were going for? Unless there's an instance of "Rock'''k'''roc" I'm missing in the game, should we move the page? {{User:Mario jc/sig}} 01:48, 5 August 2018 (EDT)

:Praussibly. I personally think we first should figure out what to do with [[Klaptrap]], since it appears more often (thus making it a slightly higher priority) and most sources spell it "Klap Trap" anyways.

This article is mistitled-it has two Ks,per the credits sequence-"Rockkroc".--Xterra1

Okay, so... is there any proof for the "Rockroc" spelling? Time Questions 10:22, 30 July 2009 (EDT)
It's a combonation of Rock and Kroc, as in Krocodile with a misspelling. Very simple. User:Dry Paratroopa/sig
This doesn't answer the question, though. Time Questions 16:07, 10 January 2010 (EST)
He's right. There are two "K"s in the credit sequence. Check out YouTube. Culex 23:50, 13 April 2010 (EDT)

RockKroc[edit]

The Player's Guide seems to spell the name in camel case. I know the instruction manual takes higher priority, but since the in-game credits capitalises every letter of the enemies' names, is it possible "RockKroc" was what they were going for? Unless there's an instance of "Rockkroc" I'm missing in the game, should we move the page? Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 01:48, 5 August 2018 (EDT)

Don't know since I don't own a copy (I also just played through the SNES version and nothing; Cranky's tip for Stop & Go Station doesn't mention them), though the in-game credits in the GBA version refer to them as "Rock Kroc." So I guess that settles that. Mario (Gold) costume pose in Super Mario Maker Mario JC 07:02, 28 September 2018 (EDT)
