They wear a red shell and have two yellow feet and only one claw that it uses to throw either sand balls or rocks.

They try to hit [[Mario]] and his company with their projectiles, which travel in a straight line when thrown. Their rock-throwing technique is very similar to [[Clawgrip]]'s, another crab, from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. | ||

Huckit Crabs are enemies in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. Many of them are encountered in [[World 4-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 4-3]], the only level to have Huckit Crabs. Huckit Crabs are stationary enemies that throw sandballs to the left. Also, by throwing, the force of the throw pushes them back slightly to the right. Huckit Crabs can be defeated the same ways as a common enemy: jumping on its head, freezing them with a [[Ice Flower]] or a [[Penguin Suit]], attacking it with a [[Fire Flower]], or by running into it with a [[Super Star|Star]]. The sand balls can also be destroyed, but only by jumping on them, as ice balls and fireballs are ineffective. | |||

Huckit Crabs are hermit crab or fiddler crab-like enemies that first appear in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They wear a red shell and have two yellow feet and only one claw that it uses to throw either sand balls or rocks. Their name is a pun on "hermit crab", the crab species they resemble, and the term "huck it", referring to their method of attack. They try to hit Mario and his company with their projectiles, which travel in a straight line when thrown. Their rock-throwing technique is very similar to Clawgrip's, another crab, from Super Mario Bros. 2.
