In ''[[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]], [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] may encounter a crab during a challenge at [[Funky's Fishing]]. The crab has no effect on the [[Kongs]]' score, but if they can succeed in hooking it, they will earn themselves a special [[Photograph]] from [[Funky Kong]]. It scurries across the bottom of the water rather quickly, and it appears randomly, so the Kongs should always keep an eye out for it. Once the crab is caught, it never appears again in the challenge mode. However, when the game is played from the minigame menu, multiple crabs can appear in one go and usually give enough [[point]]s for an automatic level up when caught.

Small crabs appear as wildlife in certain kingdoms in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', specifically the [[Lake Kingdom]], the [[Seaside Kingdom]], and the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]]. In the Lake and Mushroom Kingdoms, they are magenta, and in the Seaside Kingdom, they are yellow. Similarly to most ground-based wildlife in the game, they will flee if Mario approaches them, and following them for an extended period of time causes them to burrow into the sand, often leaving behind a [[coin]].

Like the other small animals, they will flee if Mario approaches them, and following them for an extended period of time causes them to burrow into the sand, often leaving behind a [[coin]].
