Parallel Twin Kracko, titled Unearthly Storm Front, is a duo boss who first appeared in Heroes in Another Dimension of Kirby Star Allies. This boss is based on Twin Kracko in the main Story Mode, though it is fought at the start of the battle, and later transforms into Parallel Big Kracko.

Origin

“All worlds—whether in another dimension or some far-flung galaxy—are bound by earth and sky. And where there is sky, there is Kracko! Made of fallen tears and the scattered mists of his enemies, Kracko roars with dark power.”

— VS Parallel Twin Kracko (English)

The English localization of Parallel Twin Kracko's pause flavor text doesn't fully describe their origin. The following is the original Japanese text:

“そこが 異空間アナザーディメンションだろうと、全まったく 別次元べつじげんの世界せかいだろうと、
天地てんちは かならず そこにある！ そして、そこに空そらが
あるかぎり、モクモクとどろき 何度なんどでも生うまれる！
ナミダを流ながし 消けし飛とんでいった、どうほう達たちの 強つよい
はんぎゃくの心こころが、異界いかいの空そらに 今いま、集つどったのだ！ Translation: "Even if it is Another Dimension or the completely different world, the sky and land always exists! And when there are clouds, it resurrects numerously in clouds! The strong hearts of the fellows who passed on with tears is gathered in the sky of Another Dimension!"”

— VS Parallel Twin Kracko (Japanese)

They describe that Parallel Twin Kracko was made of tears and the rebellious hearts of Kracko's fallen fellows (どうほう達たち). In other words, the origin of Parallel Twin Kracko is similar to Parallel Woods: They were born from their grudges of being defeated countlessly by Kirby throughout the series. This origin story is also similarly described in the Chinese and Korean versions. Strangely enough, Kracko's parallel counterpart was born as twins, being the stronger version of Twin Kracko instead.

Parallel Woods, Parallel Twin Kracko/Parallel Big Kracko, Parallel Meta Knight and Parallel Dedede are referred to as 異界四天王いかいしてんのう (The Otherworldly Four Heavenly Kings).

Physical appearance

Parallel Twin Kracko and Parallel Big Kracko have a much darker color scheme than Kracko. Their bodies consist of black clouds with red spikes around and yellow eyes with red and black pupils.

The two parallel twin Krackos are as big as the original Kracko and his duplicate were during his own second phase.

Boss battle

Parallel Twin Kracko appear in the following game modes:

Mode	Level	HP (Star Bullet = 52 or 78)	Notes
Heroes in Another Dimension	Dimension II	800	They appear as the boss at the end of Dimension II.
Guest Star The Three Mage-Sisters	Level 4	800	They replace the Kracko boss battle at the end of Level 4.
The Ultimate Choice	Soul Melter EX	600	They appear in the first half of the 4th battle.

Parallel Twin Kracko possesses both the exact same attacks and fight in the exact same way as Twin Kracko on the Gabbel Moon; the only difference is that they deal more damage. Their Twin Waterfall attack can still be frozen by Blizzard-element attacks or electrocuted by Zap-element attacks.

The following table lists all of Parallel Twin Kracko's attacks in Kirby Star Allies. Attack names are derived from Twin Kracko's attacks from page 295 of the Kirby Star Allies Perfect Support Guide unless otherwise stated.

Parallel Twin Kracko's attacks in Kirby Star Allies
Attack	Description
ツインウォーターフォール Twin Waterfall	Both Parallel Krackos begin pouring torrents of rain below themselves, leaving many Dropped Stars when finished. They can pour either one long torrent or two short and one long torrents. Parasol Kirby or Parasol Waddle Dee can protect the user from the rain; the Chumbrella can protect other allies underneath. Any enemy Waddle Doo or Chilly summoned by a Parallel Kracko that gets caught in the torrent of water will repeatedly take damage. Both Parallel Krackos take 0.5× damage during Twin Waterfall. If the waterfall takes enough damage from Blizzard element attacks, it will cause the affected Parallel Kracko to freeze and fall down for a few seconds. A frozen Parallel Kracko takes 2× damage. Each time the waterfall takes a Zap element, it does 10 damage to the affected Parallel Kracko.
ツインエネミー降らし Twin Enemy Drop	Both Parallel Krackos can drop either Chilly or Waddle Doo, one from both stormclouds. Ironically, these enemies yield the Copy Abilities both Parallel Krackos are weak to.
ツインダンシング Twin Dancing	Both Parallel Krackos tackle and swoop across the stage in unison, doing so in very similar manners to that of the regular Kracko.
ツインイナズマレイン Twin Lightning Rain	Both Parallel Krackos fire green lightning bolts while moving twice. They may sometimes go back to the middle and fire more potent purple lightning bolts that leave sparks on the ground. Both Parallel Krackos take 0.7× damage during the green lightning bolt portion and take 0.5× damage during the purple lightning bolt portion.
ツインビーム Twin Beam	Both Parallel Krackos fire swirling beam whips around themselves. They may perform this while moving across the stage or may stay stationary before moving to another location and repeating the process. Both Parallel Krackos take 0.7× damage during Twin Beam.

Both Parallel Krackos need to be in certain positions of the battlefield before they can perform certain attacks. If a Parallel Kracko is continuously attacked by Kirby or his allies, then it will take a while before their next attack in the cycle.

Both Parallel Krackos attack in a fixed order on loop as follows:

1. Twin Waterfall x3
2. Twin Enemy Drop
3. Twin Dancing [W motion]
4. Twin Lightning Rain
5. Enemy Drop
6. Twin Beam [starting on one side and then moving to the other]
7. Twin Dancing [regular tackle]
8. Twin Waterfall
9. Enemy Drop
10. Twin Dancing [ground swoop]
11. Twin Lightning Rain [green lightning bolts]
12. Twin Beam x2 [stationary in two positions on the arena each]
13. Enemy Drop
14. Twin Dancing [W motion]
15. Twin Dancing [regular tackle]
16. Twin Dancing [ground swoop]

If one Parallel Kracko is frozen during a Twin Waterfall attack and the other is not, the other Parallel Kracko proceeds to use his Beam Whip attack before the frozen Parallel Kracko de-frosts himself. Once done, the attack loop continues from there.
