'''Huckit Crabs'''<ref name="Prima">[http://www.primagames.com/games/SMB-wii/primaguides/9/walkthrough/913/1 Prima's eGuide of ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.] Retrieved November 23, 2014.</ref> are a species of red [[crab]]s consisting of a shell, two yellow feet and only one claw that it uses to throw either sand balls or rocks. They also have an endless supply of projectiles. Their goal is to hit [[Mario]] and his company with their projectiles, which travel in a straight line when thrown.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[File:Huckit Crab.png|thumb|A Huckit Crab throwing a sand ball.]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Huckit Crabs appear only in the third stage of [[World 4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 4]], where they are found in large quantities. They can be defeated the same ways as a common enemy; jumping on its head, freezing them with a [[Ice Flower]] or a [[Penguin Suit]], attacking it with a [[Fire Flower]], or by running into it with a [[Star|Starman]]. The sand balls can also be defeated, but only by jumping on them, as ice balls and fireballs are ineffective. They behave very similarly to [[Spike]]s. They only throw their sand balls leftwards.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
Huckit Crabs reappear in the [[Wii U]] game, ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. This time, they throw rocks. This is similar to the [[Stone Spike]]s, who used to throw rocks, but now throw sand balls. Also, the rocks they throw can be raised in elevation by a [[Water Spout]].

===''Mario Party'' series===
====''Mario Party 9''====
In ''[[Mario Party 9]]'', Huckit Crabs appear on the [[Blooper Beach]] stage. When the player lands on an [[Event Space]], which appear after traversing half the board, the crabs on a pirate ship fire their [[cannon]]s, which turn any [[Mini Star]]s into [[Mini Ztar]]s and vice versa. Several scattered Huckit Crabs also appear on the board.

====''Mario Party: Island Tour''====
Huckit Crabs appear in various minigames in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]''.

====''Mario Party 10''====
Huckit Crabs reappear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' in [[Whimsical Waters]] and in some minigames.

==Trivia==
*Their name is a pun on "hermit crab" (the crab species they resemble), and the term "chuck it", as they throw sand balls.
*Huckit Crabs are also similar to the ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' boss [[Clawgrip]], as they are both crustaceans and can throw rocks.
