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.

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.
