Template:Species-infobox Huckit Crabs[1] are a species of red crabs consisting of a shell, two yellow feet and only one claw that it uses to throw either sand balls or rocks. 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
In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Huckit Crabs appear only in World 4-3, where they are found in large quantities. Huckit Crabs are stationary enemies that throw sandballs to the left. Also, by throwing, the force of the throw pushes them back slightly to the right. Huckit Crabs 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 Starman. The sand balls can also be destroyed, but only by jumping on them, as ice balls and fireballs are ineffective.
New Super Mario Bros. U
Huckit Crabs reappear in the Wii U game, New Super Mario Bros. U. They are only found in Waterspout Beach. This time, they throw rocks. The rocks they throw can also be raised in elevation by a Water Spout.
New Super Luigi U
In New Super Luigi U, Huckit Crabs only appear in Huckit Beach Resort, Functioning exactly like they did in New Super Mario Bros. U.
