'''Sidesteppers''' (also referred to as '''[[crab]]s''' and '''giant crabs''')<ref>{{file link|MarioBrosAtariAd.jpeg|Ad for the Atari 2600 port of ''Mario Bros.''}}</ref> are irritable enemies 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]]'', first appearing in the phase immediately following the first bonus round. Sidesteppers emerge from the top [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s and walk towards a bottom pipe. When hit from below through the [[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. For example, in the NES version, they go from red to green to pink.

====''Mario Bros. Special''====
Sidesteppers are enemies in ''[[Mario Bros. Special]]''. Unlike before, the only way to stun them is for Mario and Luigi to bounce on a shared trampoline or [[Conveyor Belt|conveyor belt]]. They do not change color or move faster after recovering. It is also possible to force them to respawn from the top pipes if a brother jumps next to or over them while hitting a platform above them.

Sidesteppers are enemies in ''[[Punch Ball Mario Bros.]]'' They can now be stunned only by hitting the [[POW Block]] or throwing a [[Punch Ball]] at them. Unlike in ''Mario Bros.'' where the Sidesteppers have six forms, this game only has two. If they recover or become the last target enemy, they will turn green with an angry face and move faster.

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 unlike most appearances, they can be defeated immediately by bumping the block under them rather than it making them angry.

Smaller crabs that behave the same way also appear in some levels, releasing a coin if tapped on the GamePad.

In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Sidesteppers appear as hazards on the [[Mario Bros. (stage)|Mario Bros. stage]], first appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. 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.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', Sidesteppers appear on the [[Mario Bros. (stage)|Mario Bros. stage]]. 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.


The ''Super Smash Bros.'' series has various items of Sidesteppers. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the three Sidestepper variations are featured in a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], which can be obtained at random, and there is also a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] of a Sidestepper, which can be equipped to any fighter in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]] to boost the strength of their leg-based attacks by eight points. ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' similarly features a formation of differently-colored Sidesteppers as a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and it can also be obtained at random. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a Sidestepper appears as a Novice-class {{iw|smashwiki|support spirit}}, which grants the user more speed in battle at the expense of initial 30% {{iw|smashwiki|damage}}. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] is located in the retro maze on the east side of the [[smashwiki:Light Realm|Light Realm]] map, and the player can obtain it by winning a fight against a team of twelve [[Mr. Game & Watch]] on the Mario Bros. stage.
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.

A Sidestepper also appears as a Novice-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], which grants the user more speed in battle at the expense of initial 30% damage.

Sidesteppers make their first appearance in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] 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, similarly to ''Mario Bros.''

Don't worry—a second punch should calm it down...or at least knock it on its head.
