'''Crabbers'''<ref>''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' Official [[Prima Games]] eGuide, page 26.</ref> are a type of [[Crab]] found in beach [[Galaxy|galaxies]] of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are shown to have a big left pincer and a small right one. [[Mario]] has to defeat the creature by [[Spin]]ning at its rear. This is a little tricky, as Crabbers always face Mario. So, Mario first has to spin in its face, or [[Jump]] on it. The Crabber will defend itself with its big pincer. When the Crabber defends its face, it doesn't follow Mario, so he can Spin at its exposed backside to defeat it.

Crabbers come in two colors: red and cyan.

Subject origin Crab

Crabbers[1] are crab enemies from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They are shown to have a big left pincer and a small right one. Mario can defeat a Crabber by spinning at its rear; however, since Crabbers always try to face Mario, he has to run around it until the Crabber cannot keep up, or spin in its face or jump on it, forcing the Crabber to stop and defend itself with its pincer and allowing Mario to spin at its exposed backside to defeat it.

Crabbers come in two colors: red and blue. Red Crabbers are more aggressive than blue ones, so they are easier to defeat, as they come closer to damage Mario. They leave Star Bits behind when defeated. Blue Crabbers are harder to defeat as they retreat much quicker when Mario or Luigi is near them. They leave a 1-Up Mushroom behind when defeated.

History[edit]

In Super Mario Galaxy, Crabbers can be found in many galaxies containing beaches; for example, Beach Bowl Galaxy, Sea Slide Galaxy, and Deep Dark Galaxy. They walk sideways and try to defend their rear by facing the player when close.

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Rock Mario attacking crabbers in the Boulder Bowl Galaxy's Rolling Crabber Romp mission

In Super Mario Galaxy 2, Crabbers reappear once again in some beach galaxies such as Starshine Beach Galaxy. Yoshi also appears in this galaxy, and can stuff Crabbers in his mouth. Yoshi cannot convert them into Star Bits, but can spit out their big pincer in the same way as a Spiny Egg or Bullet Bill. The pincer acts as a boomerang, as it flies out for some distance, then returns.

Several Crabbers also appear in a Prankster Comet mission of Boulder Bowl Galaxy, named Rolling Crabber Romp. Rock Mario must defeat 30 Crabbers in one minute to get the Power Star.
