Crabs are a species of animals found in a few Mario games. In the Mario Kart Series, Crabs can be found mostly on beach stages where they walk left and right. Driving over one will make the player spin around.

In Super Mario Galaxy., there are red and blue Crabs found in many beach galaxies. To defeat them, Mario must jump on it or Star Spin them to put them on their guard which will cause them to retract into their shell, allowing Mario to circle behind them and Star Spin their weak point to defeat it. There are also Blue Crabs, however they are more skittish and when they are defeated they leave a 1-up Mushroom.

There is also a crab-like monster known as the Sidestepper in the original Mario Bros. arcade game, which looks basically the same but acts differently.

Trivia

  • The manual for Super Mario Advance labelled Sidesteppers as Crabs.
