'''Clawgrip''' ('''Clawglip''' in the cast roll of most versions) is a boss from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.

[[File:SMAS SMB2 Clawgrip.png|frame|left]]

Fought in [[World 5 (Super Mario Bros. 2)#World 5-3|World 5-3]], Clawgrip attacks players by throwing boulders at them. In order to injure Clawgrip, these boulders need to be caught by the heroes and thrown back at him. After being hit five times, Clawgrip is defeated.

In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', Clawgrip, instead of being a giant crab at the beginning of the battle against him, is simply a smaller [[Sidestepper|Crab]]. Clawgrip is grown to his giant size when he is engulfed by several [[bubble]]s which resemble the ones [[Wart]] is capable of spitting. Once at this size, Clawgrip, in a stereotypical pirate accent, will exclaim "Yar! You'll make a tasty treat!" and begin to throw boulders. It is possible to hit him multiple times with one boulder if a player throws it so that it bounces off the wall behind him when he starts moving towards them. After defeating him, he will say: "Yar! You got me!", again in a pirate accent. He was voiced by Charles Martinet, who voiced all the bosses except [[Birdo]] and [[Robirdo]].

Clawgrip returns with the other bosses from ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' in ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]''. Like in the first game, Clawgrip serves as a mini-boss, and is fought in a similar way as in his battle from ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Despite the game's Japanese script, he has a tendency to lapse into English when he speaks,<ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v5wetcPTBQM]</ref> possibly as a nod to his being an American addition.

Clawgrip's debut in ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' was in the episode "[[Rolling Down the River]]", where he manned the helm of [[King Koopa's alter egos|Captain Koopa]]'s ship, the [[Sinister Star]], while Koopa was making [[Mario]] walk the plank. The [[Mouth of the River]] used a [[cannon]] to fire a [[Vegetable|Turnip]] at Clawgrip, knocking him down onto the ship's lower deck.

Clawgrip's last appearance on the show was in "[[Mario of the Deep]]"; here, he attacks [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], [[Toad]] and their [[Mermushroom]] companion in a sunken ship. The quintet avoid Clawgrip by jumping over him and going through a hatch that was too small for him to pass through. The characters commented that this Clawgrip was simply ''a'' Clawgrip, implying that Clawgrips are a species.

===Nintendo Comics System===

In [[Nintendo Comics System]], Clawgrip, instead of being a single character, was portrayed as a species, all of whom seemed to work for [[Bowser|King Bowser Koopa]]. In ''[[The Fish That Should've Gotten Away]]'', several Clawgrips appear among the monsters trying to defeat Mario. Mario manages to avoid these Clawgrips, all the while being annoyed by [[Stanley the Talking Fish]].

===Nintendo Adventure Books===

In ''[[Pipe Down!]]'', Clawgrip appears guarding a tunnel which leads to [[Pipe Land|Pipe World]] under the [[Peach's Castle|Mushroom Palace]], under the pretext of being a 'Toll Crab'. If Mario and Luigi give Clawgrip a noisemaker or a pair of boots, he will let them pass peacefully, but if they give him a balloon (which he accidentally pops, and thus gets angry as a result) or try to run past, he will give chase to them. The brothers can distract Clawgrip by throwing some coins at him, but if they do not have any or decide not to give any up, Clawgrip will catch up to the two, leading to a [[Game Over]].

===''Super Mario-Kun''===

Clawgrip makes an appearance in volume 8 of ''[[Super Mario-Kun]]''. He is first seen shortly after [[Fryguy]] is defeated. Mario, Luigi, and Yoshi eventually fight him. As with the games, he fights by throwing rocks at them. In one twist, however, Mario molds a boomerang from a [[small heart]] and then throws it at him. Clawgrip then transforms into a large polygonal being. Mario uses a [[rocket]] to defeat him.
