| [[Roxas]] is assigned a mission to Wonderland in order to exterminate a mysterious [[Heartless]]. Upon arrival, he drinks the medicine on the table of the Bizarre Room and shrinks as a result. The Crimson Prankster then appears out of the shadows, prompting Roxas to defeat it.

| |In the [[Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days (manga)|manga adaptation]], just as the [[Card Soldiers]] prepare to execute Roxas with a guillotine, a Crimson Prankster appears and attacks the castle, allowing Roxas to untie himself. Shortly into their fight, a second Crimson Prankster appears, cornering Roxas. Roxas is saved by a now giant [[Luxord]], a result of eating a mushroom. Luxord picks the Heartless up with ease and brings it to Roxas, who delivers the final blow.

| ==Design== | | == Strategy == |
| A Crimson Prankster is a bizarre Heartless with spindly legs resembling {{w|Jack (device)|scissor jacks}}, arms that appear and sound like they're made of paper, and a head that is made of several segments balanced of top of each other. Each of these segments sports its own face—though all of the faces have the same glowing yellow eyes and jagged mouths—and they alternate in color from pink to indigo. Its arms are black and it often juggles clubs with zig-zagging, black and yellow stripes on them. It wears pink armor with large, indigo shoulder pads, a black codpiece, and has a very thin and small indigo body. The upper halves of its legs are indigo, while their lower halves are pink. Its feet are black, flat, and curl at the tips. Its design is slightly similar to the ''[[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix]]'' version of the [[Trickmaster]]. Despite appearing to be one of the largest Heartless Roxas fights, in reality it is roughly the size of [[Donald Duck]], due to the shrinking potion.

| The latter part of the Crimson Prankster's name shows its mischievous and carefree nature. In reference to the Trickmaster, the word "prankster" is a synonym of trickster. This shows the similar nature and appearance between the Trickmaster and the Crimson Prankster. The former part of the Heartless's name could be derived from one possible romanization of its Japanese name, "Bleed Performer", crimson being the color of blood. | | The Crimson Prankster is certainly a force to be reckoned with. At the start of this battle, Lock-On to the Boss' head and begin attacking with the Keyblade. It does not matter whether you attack the Heartless or its copy first, as they both have HP that must be depleted. Use caution when attacking at close range, as the Crimson Prankster may attempt to swat you away. |
|
| |
|
| ==Strategy==
| | When the Heartless Boss leaps into the air, get out of its way as fast as possible. Otherwise, you will suffer damage from the shockwave and wall of fire it emits as a result of its jump. The beast may also create a pillar of flame directly in front of it. You should be extremely careful when the Boss spits a stream of fire at you. This attack can be predicted, thus easily avoided, when the matches either one of the Heartless carries ignite in flames.You should also be cautious when the Heartless starts to spin whilst covered in flames. |
| Equip Blizzard magic and a Keyblade with high strength or longer combos, such as Valor Gear+ or Rage Gear+.
| |
|
| |
|
| The Crimson Prankster begins the battle by copying itself in two. Both copies start with equal health, and must be destroyed simultaneously. If one copy dies before the other, the surviving copy copies itself again. The resulting copy has remaining health equal to the surviving copy's.
| | Do not get cocky once the first Crimson Prankster falls, as the other will quickly revive it in a cloud of purple mist. The process of this battle then repeats itself from square one. While defeating two Heartless Bosses may seem a bit overwhelming, this fight should be easy if you make use of healing items and your Limit Break. A good strategy to defeating this boss is by lowering both their health bars down to the last bit of the last bar without killing them, then kill one and quickly kill the other before it can revive it's fallen comrade. |
|
| |
|
| Dodge the Pranksters' attacks using Air Glide and Air Slide. The hole under the chimney is a safe point, and can be used to dodge attacks or safely use Cure magic.
| | ==Trivia== |
| | | *The Crimson Prankster is similar in coloration to the Trickmaster in [[Kingdom Hearts Final Mix|''Kingdom Hearts Final Mix'']]''. |
| The Crimson Prankster's hitbox is its head. Use the table in the middle of the room as a platform to Glide and attack. To avoid the copies reviving each other, reduce both copies to low health, then destroy both before the surviving copy copies itself. | |
