'''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 come in two colors: red and cyan. Red Crabbers are more numerous and 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.

==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy''===
[[File:SMG Sea Slide Crabbers.png|left|thumb|Crabbers in Sea Slide Galaxy.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', Crabbers can be found in certain [[galaxy|galaxies]] containing sand. They walk sideways and try to defend their rear by facing the player when close. There is always a single cyan Crabber in any given group of Crabbers.

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
[[File:SMG2 Boulder Bowl Rolling Crabber Romp.png|thumb|Rock Mario attacking crabbers in the Boulder Bowl Galaxy's Rolling Crabber Romp mission]]
Crabbers reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. [[Yoshi]] can lick up red Crabbers to spit out their big pincer in the same manner as a [[Spiny Egg]] or [[Bullet Bill]]. The pincer acts as a [[boomerang]], as it flies out for some distance, then returns. The pincers are unable to destroy [[glass case]]s.

Several Crabbers also appear in a [[Prankster Comet]] mission of [[Boulder Bowl Galaxy]], named [[Rolling Crabber Romp]]; as the planet this is on is made of hollow metal, they cannot burrow here. There are also three cyan Crabbers in this group.
