'''Sidesteppers''', sometimes referred to as simply '''crabs''', are irritable [[crab]]s that scuttle about. First appearing in ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', they typically appear in roles that call back to that game, and otherwise typically make simple cameos. They also occasionally appear in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, taking the role that generic crabs have in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''.

The Sidestepper is the second enemy that the Mario Bros. encounter in the game ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'' Sidesteppers emerge from the top [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s and walk towards a bottom pipe. When hit from below through the [[floor (Mario Bros.)|floor]], the Sidestepper becomes angry and speeds up. Mario or Luigi must hit the Sidestepper from below a second time to flip it over, then run into it to [[kick]] it off the stage. If left alone, the Sidestepper will change its color to blue and flip over, making it move faster. If left alone a second time, the Sidestepper will be purple. If the last target in a phase is a Sidestepper, it will automatically turn purple. Sidesteppers also appear in all reissues of ''Mario Bros.'', where their colors vary from the original version.

In ''[[Mario Clash]]'', Sidesteppers come out of pipes and scuttle forwards. To defeat them, the player should hit them in the front or back with a [[Green Shell|Koopa Shell]] to turn it angry and sideways, then hit them on the front or back again with another shell. Due to them changing direction, the first hit needs to come from the same layer they are on and the second needs to come from the other layer. After a while, an angry Sidestepper calms down and faces the way it moves again.

Sidesteppers also appear in Hudson Soft's ''[[Super Mario Bros. Special]]''. Here they are credited as '''Chokichoki''', which translates to "Snip-Snip" in Japanese, referencing the sounds they make when they open and close their claws. They first appear in World 4-2 and function like a [[Spiny]] except they could be defeated by bumping the block under them.

In the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], Sidesteppers can be found on beach stages where they walk left and right, replacing the generic [[crab]]s from ''Mario Kart 64''. As of ''Mario Kart DS'', they appear with green eyes, and yellow highlights on their claws, not unlike the crabs from ''Mario Kart 64''. Driving into Sidestepper makes the player's kart spin around. If a Sidestepper is hit with a [[Bullet Bill]], [[shell]], [[Super Star|star]], or [[Bob-omb]], it flips over and disappears.

Brawl]]'' and returning in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Sidesteppers walk out of the pipes at the top of the screen. Players can hit them from below to flip them over, and pick them up to throw at opponents. If a player is hit by a thrown Sidestepper, they fly sideways off the screen.

All three Sidestepper variations also appear as a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]]. There is also a Sidestepper [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] that, when used on a fighter in [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]], boosts the strength of leg-based attacks by eight points. Both the trophy and the sticker can be obtained when they show up at random in Vs. matches, Adventure Mode, or other modes of the game.

Sidesteppers make their ''Paper Mario'' series debut in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', where origami red and blue Sidesteppers appear as enemies. The blue Sidesteppers now have the same modern design as their regular red variants used from ''Mario Kart DS'' onwards. Sidesteppers are commonly found in the [[Water Vellumental Shrine]], [[the Great Sea]], the [[Ice Vellumental Mountain]], the [[Sea Tower]], and [[? Island]]. One group is also fought on [[Full Moon Island|Crescent Moon Island]] after being fished out of the sea and releases an [[Earth Vellumental]] [[Magic Circle]] upon being defeated. In battle, the Sidestepper's claws act as spikes, preventing them from being jumped on without Iron Boots, but can be damaged with [[Fire Flower]]s, [[Ice Flower]]s, and [[List of Paper Mario: The Origami King weapons#Hammers|Hurlhammer]]s, as well as being flipped over by POW Blocks. However, if Red Sidesteppers are flipped with a POW Block and recover, they turn into stronger Blue Sidesteppers. On the ? Island, they can be stunned with a POW Block, but turn blue if left alone for a period of time, similar to ''Mario Bros.''
