In the cutscenes for Kat & Ana's stage in WarioWare: Move It!, Cractus from Wario Land 4 appears. This is the first time a Wario Land character has appeared in the cutscenes of a WarioWare game.
In the Japanese version of Move It!, Cractus has a slightly different name from the Cractus that appeared in Wario Land 4.
The latter game's Cractus was called フラワナ, or Furawana, a pun on "flower" and「罠」(wana, trap). The former that appears in Move It! however is called フラワニ, or Furawani, a pun on "flower" and「鰐」(wani, crocodile). This name change could mean the character was renamed, or the Cractus in Move It! is meant to represent a different individual from the same species.

This info has been added to the original submission, thank you.

One thing that's interesting about the Cractus that appears in WarioWare is that, in the Japanese version, it has a slightly different name from the Cractus that appeared in Wario Land.
The latter was called フラワナ, or Furawana, a pun on "flower" and「罠」(wana, trap). The former that appears in WW however is called フラワニ, or Furawani, a pun on "flower" and「鰐」(wani, crocodile). Either they renamed it, or the one in WarioWare is meant to represent a different individual from the same species. A neat reference and callback to Wario Land 4 either way.
