| '''Crabbers'''<ref>{{cite|author=Browne, Catherine|title=''Super Mario Galaxy 2: PRIMA Official Game Guide''|location=Roseville|publisher=Random House Inc|date=May 23, 2010|page=26|isbn=978-0-30746-907-6}}</ref> are [[crab]] enemies from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They appear to be inspired by the {{wp|fiddler crab}}, which is known for having a claw larger than the other. [[Mario]] can defeat a Crabber by [[spin]]ning at its rear; however, since Crabbers always try to face Mario, he has to run around it until the Crabber cannot keep up, or spin in its face or [[jump]] on it, forcing the Crabber to stop and defend itself with its pincer and allowing Mario to spin at its exposed backside to defeat it. | | '''Crabbers''' are a type of [[Crab]] found in beach [[Galaxy|galaxies]] of ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They are shown to have a big left pincer and a small left one. [[Mario]] has to defeat the creature by [[Spinning]] at it's rear. This is a little tricky, as Crabbers always face Mario. So, Mario first has to spin in it's face, or rather [[Jump]] on it. When doing one of these move, it defends it with it's big pincer, leaving the rear behind. When the Crabber defends its face, its sight doesn't follow Mario, so he can Spin at it's rear to defeat it. |

| Crabbers come in two colors: red and cyan. Red Crabbers are more aggressive than cyan ones, so they are easier to defeat, as they come closer to damage Mario. They leave [[Star Bit]]s behind when defeated. Cyan Crabbers are harder to defeat as they retreat much quicker when Mario or Luigi is near them. They leave a [[1-Up Mushroom]] behind when defeated. | | Crabbers come in two colors: red and blue. Red Crabbers are less skittish than blue ones, so they are easier to defeat, and also leave [[Star Bit]]s behind when defeated. Blue Crabbers are harder to defeat, and leave a [[1-Up Mushroom]] behind when defeated. |

| In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Crabbers can be found in many galaxies containing beaches; for example, [[Beach Bowl Galaxy]], [[Sea Slide Galaxy]], and [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. They walk sideways and try to defend their rear by facing the player when close.

| |
| In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', Crabbers reappear once again in some beach galaxies such as [[Starshine Beach Galaxy]]. [[Yoshi]] also appears in this galaxy, and can stuff Crabbers in his mouth. Yoshi cannot convert them into Star Bits, but can spit out their big pincer in the same way as a [[Spiny Egg]] or [[Bullet Bill]]. The pincer acts as a [[boomerang]], as it flies out for some distance, then returns.

|
| Several Crabbers also appear in a [[Prankster Comet]] mission of [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]], named [[Rolling Crabber Romp]]. [[Rock Mario]] must defeat 30 Crabbers in one minute to get the [[Power Star]].
