==Plot==
On an island inhabited by small furry creatures called [[Gobbo
▲On an island inhabited by small furry creatures called [[Gobbo|Gobbos]], [[King Rufus]] , their leader, discovers a small black basket abandoned in a lake containing a small, screaming baby crocodile. [[King Rufus]], along with all of the other Gobbos on [[Volcano Island]], raise the crocodile in the ways of the Gobbos. [[Croc]] is a vegetarian who eats mostly peas. After some time on the island, Croc and the Gobbos have established a close relationship until one day the evil [[Baron Dante]] shows up, along with his minion [[Dantinis]]. They kidnapp several [[Gobbo]] creatures including [[King Rufus]] after he straps a backpack to Croc's back and has [[Beany Bird]] take Croc to safety. [[Croc]] is then determined to rescue the Gobbos and [[King Rufus]] from the evil clutches of Baron Dante.
There are four accessible islands and one secret island:

Each of the four main Islands contain six 'normal levels', in which Croc has to collect six Gobbos and five [[Coloured Crystals]] . The Coloured Crystals open the [[Crystal Door]] at the end of each normal level which contains the sixth and final Gobbo. This is usually the hardest part of the level and often contains a challenge which Croc must complete to get the Gobbo.▼

He must defeat the Guardian to progress to the next set of levels.

In the final level [[Secret Sentinel (Level)|Secret Sentinel]], Croc must defeat the [[The Secret Sentinel (Character)|Secret Sentinel]], a ghost version of [[Baron Dante]]. Croc must defeat this Guardian to fully complete the game, 100%.

==[[Enemies of Croc|Enemies]]==
Just like any other platformer game, Croc will come across many enemies which will attempt to stop Croc in his adventure. Some can be defeated for a short time before respawning,
===[[Guardian]]===
[[File:Baron_Dante_square_res.jpg|thumb|left|99px|Baron Dante, the main Guardian of the game.]]
Croc will have to face eight [[Guardian]]s including the main antagonist, [[Baron Dante]], and a ninth Guardian on the secret [[Crystal Island]]. Most of these Guardians were previously harmless creatures before Baron Dante used his magic to transform them. After defeating the Guardian, they usually transform into the creature they were before. There are two on each [[Gobbo Archipelago|island]] and one on the [[Crystal Island|secret island]]. Each Guardian appears on their own level and are usually killed by attacking them when they are at their weakest point three times. Baron Dante is the only Guardian in which Croc must 'defeat' three times, each time Croc must use a different technique to attack. The [[The Secret Sentinel (Character)|Secret Sentinel]] is the only Guardian in which Croc does not and cannot attack physically. The list of Guardian and their levels found in are below:

===[[Dantini|Dantinis]]===
[[File:Screen6.png|thumb|left|150px|Two Dantinis confronting Croc. ]]
Dantinis are the most common enemies in the game and respawn when attacked. They are in league with the main [[:Category:Antagonists|antagonist of]] the game, Baron Dante, and are scattered throughout the game in order to stop Croc from completing his mission. They all come with different abilities, including casting fireballs, flying, throwing snowballs, running, swimming, and even one that steals Gobbos!
==[[Hazard]]s==
These Interactive Elements will hurt Croc in a level, but are not considered enemies. See the article for the full list.
