'''Clampies''' are giant, purple [[Clam]] enemies that first appeared in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They only appear in World 1-4 and in a secret area in 4-1. They will trap a character in its shell if it closes on a character, causing them to take damage and then opening back up. Most Clampies have [[Coin]]s in their valves in order to lure a character close so they can attack them.  
'''Clampys'''<ref>von Esmarch, Nick. ''Mario Kart 7'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Pages 46, 48, 142, 143.</ref> (also known as simply '''clams'''<ref>Black, Fletcher. ''Super Mario Galaxy'' PRIMA Offical Game Guide. Page 130.</ref><ref>Bueno, Fernando. ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' Prima Official Game Guide. Page 29.</ref>) are giant [[clam]] enemies that debuted in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They open and close their valves periodically, often revealing items inside their cavities. The player can collect these items and swim away before getting caught inside the Clampy as it closes its valves.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:SMG Clampy.png|thumb|x150px|A Clampy from the Beach Bowl Galaxy]]
One cream-colored Clampy first appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', being encountered in the [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]]. Much like the [[clam]]s in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', it holds treasures inside such as [[Star Chip]]s and [[coin]]s, depending on the mission selected.


Clampies appear in the [[Cheep Cheep Lagoon]] and [[Daisy Cruiser]] racecourses in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' for the [[Nintendo 3DS]]. They are obstacles that are found only underwater, and like in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', they have Coins and [[Item Box]]es between their valves that racers can pick up, taking care of not being trapped by the Clampy's valves.
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:NSMBW Clampy Artwork.png|150px|thumb|left|A Clampy from ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'']]
Clampys make their first 2D game appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', only appearing in [[World 1-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 1-4]] and in a secret area in [[World 4-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 4-1]]. They were slightly reshaped, and now display a purple coloration with darker wavy stripes, which would stick to them in most future appearances. They have [[coin]]s or [[1-Up Mushroom]]s between their valves in order to lure a character close so they can attack them. If a Clampy closes its shell in on a character, it will trap them inside for a brief moment and damage them before opening back up. However, their top shells (when closed) and the inside of their cavities (when open) are safe to tread on. In general, Clampys spawn in mid-water and slowly sink to a ground underneath, after which they begin their routine of opening and closing their valves. One Clampy in World 1-4 slips into a pit after touching the ground.


Clampies also appear in the [[Wii U]] title ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' where they act exactly like they do in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', and can be found in some levels of [[Sparkling Waters]].
====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SMG2 Clampy Screenshot.png|thumb|Mario near the Clampy in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'']]
A single Clampy appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', behaving and looking identically to the species' initial appearance in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. It appears on the seabed in [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]].
 
====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
[[File:NSMBU Clampy.png|100px|thumb|left]]
Clampys, referred to as '''Giant Clams'''<ref>Stratton, Steve. ''New Super Mario Bros. U'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 79.</ref>, appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and its [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|port]], where they act exactly like they do in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. One can be found in a secret area of [[Waterspout Beach]], while multiple inhabit {{world-link|coin|5|World Coin-5 (New Super Mario Bros. U)}}. They do not return in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart 7''====
Clampys appear in the [[3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon|Cheep Cheep Lagoon]] and {{classic-link|GCN|Daisy Cruiser}} racecourses in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. They are obstacles that are found only [[Underwater driving|underwater]], containing coins and [[Item Box]]es between their valves that racers can pick up, taking care not to be trapped by the Clampy's valves. Racers can perform [[trick]]s on them when they are open.
 
====''Mario Kart Tour''====
[[File:MKT Clampy.png|thumb|left|150px|A Clampy in [[3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'']]
Clampys reappear in 3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon, GCN Daisy Cruiser, and [[Piranha Plant Cove|Piranha Plant Cove 2 and 3]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', acting the same as they did in ''Mario Kart 7''. They are able to spin out drivers in a [[Bubble]] without popping their Bubble. The Item Boxes that Clampys produce, if broken, do not respawn immediately unlike other Item Boxes.
 
====''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
[[File:MK8D GCN Daisy Cruiser Aquarium.jpg|thumb|Two Clampys in ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'']]
Clampys return in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]'' DLC for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', where they once again appear in {{classic|GCN|Daisy Cruiser}} and [[Piranha Plant Cove]], acting the same as they did in previous entries.

===''Mario Party 10''===
[[File:Cheep Cheep Check.png|thumb|left|Clampys in ''Mario Party 10'']]
Clampys reappear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' in the background of the board [[Whimsical Waters]]. They also appear in the minigame [[Cheep Cheep Check]], where they are used by the solo player to disperse large clusters of bubbles meant to distract the other players from counting the Cheep Cheeps.
 
===''Dr. Mario World''===
A Clampy appears as an Assistant in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]''. When equipped in stage mode, there is a chance that the rainbow meter is filled by three sections when the stage starts. In versus mode, it grants doctors an extra chance to defend against opponent's attacks.

==Trivia==
==Profiles and statistics==
*A clam that serves the same function as the Clampies was first seen in the animated Mario film ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyushutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'' where it was seen keeping a captive [[Star|Starman]] away from [[Mario]] by closing its shell and keeping the Starman in its valve. As a result, it may be possible that the Clampies may have been inspired from this early enemy.
===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
{{BoxTop}}
*'''Trading Card description:''' ''It looks like an open and shut case with this enemy. Clampy lurks in the depths of the sea, patiently waiting to make a move. Clampy will try to clench you in its shell, causing a loss of power—or worse! However, sometimes there a 1-Up mushroom in them, so it may be worth messing with this mollusk. Don't clam up—swim fast, grab the goods, and get out!''<br>
'''Card Number: 34 (Normal), F19 (Silver)'''
 
===''Dr. Mario World''===
*'''Stage mode:''' ''Grants 50%/60%/70%/80%/100% chance rainbow meter sections (3) will be filled on stage start.''
*'''Stage mode ''(Prior to version 2.3.0)'':''' ''Grants 10%/20%/30%/40%/50% chance rainbow meter sections (3) will be filled on stage start.''
*'''Versus mode:''' ''Increases chance to defend by 2%/4%/6%/8%/10%.''
