Appearances
Mario franchise
There are numerous enemies in the Mario franchise that are based on Octoroks. This includes Octolots and Octovaders from Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Chuckoroks from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, Squiglets, Squigs, Squogs, Squoinkers, and Dark Squiglets from Super Paper Mario, and the various Octoomba variants and King Kaliente from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. The Octopuses of Super Mario Galaxy even use a corrupted version of Octorok's name in the Japanese version.
In the WarioWare series, Octoroks make a guest appearance in a WarioWare: Twisted! microgame, The Legend of Zelda, in which Octoroks, as well as the other sprites and the background itself, are reused directly from the first The Legend of Zelda. In the microgame, an Octorok shoots a rock at Link, who has to deflect it with his shield to win in the microgame.
In Super Mario-kun, Octoroks make an appearance in the fourth volume.
Super Smash Bros. series
Octoroks appear in Super Smash Bros. Melee as enemies in the Underground Maze in Adventure Mode. They are designed after their appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time. They attack by spitting rocks at the fighters. They also appear during Versus Mode hidden in carrier items along with ReDeads, Goombas, and other creatures found in Adventure Mode, although this occurrence is rare.
In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, there is a sticker of Octorok depicting a low quality version of its The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time artwork.
Octoroks return as enemies in the Smash Run mode of Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS. They take their appearance from The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword and attack by spitting rocks at the fighters. While hiding in the ground they cannot be damaged using any attacks, though they can still be grabbed and thrown.
