| '''Crackpots''' are octopus-like enemies from ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' They shoot [[Spike Ball|spiky ball]]s at [[Wario]], and afterwards, they hide in the pot they are in. They have a great resemblance to [[zeldawiki:Octorok|Octorok]]s and [[Snifit]]s. Their name is a literal take on the pejorative term "crackpot", used to a person that commonly holds ridiculous, implausible beliefs and dismisses all evidence against them. | | '''Crackpots''' are octopus-like enemies from ''[[Wario Land: Shake It!]]'' They shoot bullets at [[Wario]], and afterwards, they hide in the pot they are in.

| Crackpots come in two colors, which are red and purple. The purple Crackpots spit out three spiky balls at a time when Wario carries it around while the red one only spits out one. If the enemy is stunned, Wario can pick it up and shake its pot, causing the Crackpot to pop out and shoot in whatever direction Wario is facing. This can be used to defeat other enemies. | | Crackpots come in two colors, which are red and purple.
