— Figurine description • Kirby and the Rainbow Curse |
Trakker is an enemy in the Kirby series, debuting in Kirby and the Rainbow Curse.
Physical Appearance
Trakker is a round yellow creature with two wavy lumps atop his head. He wears a brown cloth mask and a head-mounted ring with four propeller blades; the propeller spins fast enough to create the illusion of it being a solid rim, adding to the enemy's other features to give him stereotypical desperado look. Trakker has pink feet, a silver cannon for a mouth, and one glaring eye with a blue iris.
Games
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
Trakker appears exclusively in the stage Rainbow Across the Skies. He passively hovers in the sky until he sees Kirby, at which point he spits a silver missile at him. This missile follows the hero's movements and can be blocked with a rainbow rope. Trakker can be defeated with a single Tap Dash or Star Dash.
Etymology
Trakker's name is a corruption of the word tracker, referencing the enemy's homing missiles.
