Klambers,[1] also known as Yellow Spiders[2][3][4] and Scuttle Bugs,[5] are enemies in Super Mario Sunshine. They are yellow metallic arachnids resembling Scuttle Bugs. Their name is a corruption of the word "clamber," referring to their climbing ability. Klambers are encountered in Ricco Harbor and Pianta Village. They usually climb cages or walls, either vertically or upside-down. Klambers can be kicked or ground-pounded by Mario to be defeated. Klambers climbing on solid walls can be defeated only from being eaten by a Yoshi or sprayed with juice. Spraying Klambers with water from FLUDD briefly immobilizes them. Unlike Red Electro-Koopas, Klambers always knock Mario off the cage if they damage him. The reward for defeating a Klamber is either a Blue Coin (as is the case with three in Ricco Harbor), a coin, or nothing at all.
