| '''Clams''' appear in the ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' franchise as rare enemies and obstacles with an appearance differing slightly between appearances while retaining a common behavior of opening and closing their valves. A number of fictional species, including [[Clampy]]s from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and [[Clambo]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', are derived from clams. | | |
| | '''Clams''' are giant bivalves that inhabit the seas surrounding the [[Mushroom Kingdom]] and [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]]. They appear as semi-recurring enemies and obstacles throughout the [[Mario (franchise)|''Mario'' franchise]]. Their appearance changes slightly from title to title, but they retain their behavior of opening and closing their valves. A number of fictional species, including [[Clampy|Clampies]] from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and [[Clambo]]s from ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'', are derived from generic clams. |

| ===''Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!''===
| |
| A giant clam in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: Peach-hime Kyūshutsu Dai Sakusen!]]'' appears underwater in one scene after [[Mario]] and [[Haru-ōji|Kibidango]] encounter the first [[Big Cheep Cheep|mega-sized Cheep-cheep]]. It holds the [[Super Star|star]] that they are looking for, but it shuts its shell tight. Mario and Kibidango try distracting the clam to open with music and dancing, but it closes down on Mario. Kibidango reads up on a solution and manages to get Mario and the star out of it by tickling the clam.

They appear in [[Jolly Roger Bay]] and [[Dire, Dire Docks]]. Most clam shells in Jolly Roger Bay contain [[Red Coin]]s, while another clam shell in the same area, as well as a clam shell in Dire, Dire Docks, contains a [[Green Shell|Koopa Shell]]. If a clam shell is touched when it is opening or closing, Mario, [[Yoshi]], [[Luigi]], or [[Wario]] gets knocked away and loses two wedges of [[Health Meter|health]]. Clam shells open up for a small period of time when one of the player characters approaches them.

| | Clams are present in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its [[Nintendo DS]] remake ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', appearing in [[Jolly Roger Bay]] and [[Dire, Dire Docks]]. Most clams in Jolly Roger Bay contain [[Coin#Red Coin|Red Coin]]s, whilst the lone clam in Dire Dire Docks contains a [[Green Shell|Koopa Shell]]. If a clam is touched when it is opening or closing, [[Mario]] takes two points of damage. Clams open up for a small period of time when Mario approaches them. |

| ====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
| | ===''Yoshi'' series=== |
| Clams in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' do not appear as interactive gameplay elements, but plastic representations of them make up the Clam Cup ride in [[Pinna Park]], which is advertised by some [[Noki]]s in a few missions. Six fake clams of different colors are featured in the attraction, spinning around on a playground merry-go-round-like plate. They are normally closed, but spraying one enough causes it to open, sometimes revealing either a [[coin]], a [[Blue Coin]], or a [[1-Up Mushroom]].

| | | In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Clams<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/19990508195022/http://www.yoshisstory.com/5-2.html ''Yoshi's Story'' official website (Wayback Archive)]. Retrieved April 22, 2015.</ref> are generally harmless, but act much like underwater [[Warp Pipe|Warp Pipes]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', by blowing air up (nonetheless, these actually stop after a certain amount of time). Clams are usually found around [[Sea Cactus]]. They are rare, and even then they only appear in Stage 5-2: [[Lots O'Fish]]. |
| ===''Donkey Kong Jungle Beat''=== | |
| Clams in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' are huge and appear as [[item container]]s in underwater stages, starting with [[Pristine Sea]]. [[Clap]]ping near them releases [[banana|beat]]s.

| In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]], the fourth boss, waits for Mario inside a clam before the battle with her. In battle, she attacks by summoning coins from the clams and dunking them on Mario. She also summons [[Gold Shy Guy]]s, [[Silver Shy Guy]]s, and [[Ice Bro]]s. from them to aid her in battle if Mario fails to [[Guard|block]] the attack. | | In ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]'', [[Wendy O.

| ===''Princess Peach: Showtime!''===
| |
| Clams in ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'' appear in all three [[Mermaid Peach]] stages. By guiding a school of fish with her voice, Peach can command them to open normal and big clams in the background (the latter require the strength of more fishes), releasing captured [[Theet]]s, [[coin]]s or [[Sparkle Gem]]s.
