The Squeaks
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Squeaks (ドロッチェ団 Dorocche Dan (Dorocche Gang)?) are fictional characters in the Kirby series of games created by Nintendo. They appear in the Nintendo DS game Kirby: Squeak Squad.
The Squeaks are a group of mice (or rats) who specialize in stealing things. They are after the treasure that is said to contain an ultimate power, which they steal from King Dedede's castle at the beginning of the game after Kirby defeats Dedede at the end of Level 1, Prism Plains. They are the main antagonists of the game, though they are not the true villains, for the true villain is Dark Zero.

[edit] Daroach
Dorocche (Daroach in the English version) is the boss of the Squeaks. He is shown wearing a red hat and cape and often carries a magic wand in his hand. He is responsible for his gang's quest for the treasure that "grants you the ultimate power". He is the boss of Level 6, Island Ice, and attacks by throwing stars with colored spheres surrounding them from his wand, which Kirby can inhale and fire back at him. He also has a habit of teleporting around and throwing bombs at him, which, in a few seconds explode into pillars of flames. After Kirby defeats him, Meta Knight steals the chest and escapes through a door sealed by five colored stars that Kirby needs in order to chase him through it to the Secret Sea. After Kirby fights Meta Knight to reclaim the treasure, Dorocche takes it again only to end up being posessed by Dark Nebula (in truth, the treasure he believed to contain an ultimate power really contained Dark Nebula inside it). He is then known as Dark Dorocche. Defeating Dark Dorocche frees Dorocche from Dark Nebula's posession.
[edit] Spinni
Spin (Spinni in the English version) is a small, yellow mouse who wears red sunglasses, a red scarf, and orange shoes. He is noted for being the fastest member of the Squeaks on his feet. When Spin appears, it's usually a race against him to see who can claim the treasure chest he's after first. Spin attacks with a rake and shurikens while quickly running and jumping around. Once he grabs a chest, he runs quickly to home base, so Kirby will have to hit him quickly.
[edit] Storo
Stron (Storo in the English version) is a big, blue, bulky mouse wearing a red sleeveless shirt, a red pirate hat, and a pirate patch. He looks a lot like a character from Heathcliff.
Stron is one of the strongest, if not the strongest member of the Squeaks. He walks rather slow and attacks his opponent by either trying to jump on him/her or whack it with his huge hammer, which makes stars for Kirby to inhale once he slams it into the ground. Since he's so big, it's a little hard to dodge him.
[edit] Doc
Doc is a small white mouse with a green moustache wearing glasses with red swirls in them. He himself is very weak, so he mainly fights Kirby from inside a fast-moving UFO that he shoots lasers from a small satellite dish, blasts at Kirby with clouds of dust from a vaccumm cleaner-like machine, or drops bombs from a mechanical claw. Doc also pilots two bigger machines, which are two of the bosses of the game. The first boss he pilots is the Mecha-Kracko, which looks strikingly like Kracko and is the boss of Level 3, Creamy Clouds. The second is a huge hermit crab-like mecha called Yadogaine, which is the boss of Level 4, Jam Jungle.
[edit] Squeakers
Chulins (Squeakers in the English version) are small mice that appear as backup for the Squeaks. They come in four colors; red, green, yellow, and blue. They appear to occupy the members of the Squeaks, but luckily for Kirby, they are the weakest members of the gang, which is why there are several of them. Kirby is able to easily defeat them by just hitting them with anything he's got, but they make up for their weaknesses by swiftly moving and jumping around while throwing bombs in various sizes at him. After Kirby beats Dedede at the end of the Prism Plains, the Chulins take this opportunity to bombard his castle with their bombs, allowing the rest of the Squeaks to steal Dedede's treasure, which they think contains the ultimate power.
[edit] Dark Daroach
After Kirby defeats Meta Knight at the end of Secret Sea to reclaim the treasure that supposedly grants its opener an ultimate power, Dorocche takes that chest again. However, in truth, that chest contains the evil entity Dark Nebula. As soon as Dorocche opens the chest, he becomes posessed by him and is then known as Dark Dorocche. He is shown with dark blue/purple fur instead of grey, and his hat and cape are purple instead of red. Dark Dorocche is the boss of the Gamble Galaxy.
Dark Dorocche moves and attacks the same way he did when he wasn't posessed, plus, he has more attacks, in addition to throwing the sphere-surrounded stars from the Triple Star instead of his usual wand. Among his new attacks is one where he fires a white/blue laser beam which'll freeze Kirby if it hits him. Also, the bombs he throws in this state are red instead of black. Upon being defeated by Kirby, Dark Nebula leaves his body, reverting him back to normal Dorocche and his colors back to normal.
