{{quote|Arr! You'll make a tasty treat!|Clawgrip|[[Super Mario Advance]]}}
'''Clawgrip''', also titled '''Clawglip''' in the ending credits except international ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'' releases, is a [[List of bosses|boss]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Unlike other enemies, Clawgrip did not appear in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'', where his place as a boss was filled in by a third, cream-white [[Mouser]].

Clawgrip is a boss in ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. He is  in [[World 5-3 (Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 5-3]], where he 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.


'''Clawgrip''', also known as '''Clawglip''', is a giant crab and a boss from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''.
In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', Clawgrip, instead of already being giant at the beginning of the battle against him, is simply a smaller [[Sidestepper|crab]]. He is grown to his regular size when he is engulfed by several [[bubble]]s resembling those spit out by Wart. Once at this size, Clawgrip, in a stereotypical pirate accent, exclaims "Yar! You'll make a tasty treat!", beginning the battle. 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 he is defeated, he says "Yar! You got me!", again in a pirate accent.


Fought in World 5-3, Clawgrip would attack players by using his claws to throws boulders at them; in order to injure Clawgrip, these boulders would need to be caught by the player's character and thrown back at Clawgrip. After being hit repeatedly, Clawgrip would be defeated.

Clawgrip made three appearances in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', where he, along with [[Mouser]], [[Fryguy]], and [[Tryclyde]], was a minion of [[Bowser|King Koopa]] instead of [[Wart]]. In all of his appearances on the show, Clawgrip wore a blue bandanna on his head.


In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', Clawgrip, instead of being a giant crab at the beginning of the battle against him, is simply a small [[Sidestepper]]. Clawgrip is grown to his giant size when he is engulfed by several bubbles 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.
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.


== Appearances in Other Media ==
In "[[Pirates of Koopa]]", Clawgrip can be seen among the minions of [[Bowser|Blackbeard Koopa]] waiting for his return to [[Pirate's Port]].


[[Image: CartoonClawgrip.jpg|thumb|left|Clawgrip, from ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' episode, "[[Mario of the Deep]]".]]
Clawgrip's made a final appearance 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 the ''[[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]].


Clawgrip made a few, rare appearances in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', where he, along with [[Mouser (character)|Mouser]], [[Fryguy]] and [[Tryclyde]], was a minion of [[Bowser|King Koopa]] instead of [[Wart]].
===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
Clawgrip and some of his [[GLOM]]-created clones try to attack Mario while he is exploring the Mushroom Kingdom in ''[[Double Trouble (book)|Double Trouble]]'', but he manages to avoid them.


Clawgrip's first appearance in ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' was in the episode "[[Rolling Down the River]]", where he manned the help of [[Bowser|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 to the ship's lower deck.
In ''[[Pipe Down!]]'', Clawgrip appears guarding a tunnel that 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]].


In a later episode of ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'', entitled "[[Pirates of Koopa]]", Clawgrip makes a brief appearance, being seen among the minions of [[Bowser|Blackbeard Koopa]] waiting for his return to [[Pirate's Port]].

[[File:Clawgrip SuperMarioKun.jpg|thumb|Appearance in ''Super Mario-kun'']]
Clawgrip makes an appearance in volume 8 of ''[[Super Mario-kun]]''. He is the last of the 8 bits generals to be fought before Wart. 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 [[Andross]]-like being. Mario then uses a [[rocket]] to defeat him by hitting a weak spot that destroys his polygonal being.


Clawgrip's last appearance in ''The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!'' was in the episode "[[Mario of the Deep]]"; in this appearance, a Clawgrip appears to attack [[Mario]], [[Luigi]], [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], [[Toad]] and their [[Mermushroom]] companion in a sunken ship; Mario, Luigi, Toad, Princess Toadstool and the Mermushroom all manage to easily avoid the Clawgrip though, by simply jumping over him and going through a nearby hatch that was too small for Clawgrip to pass through. The characters commented that this Clawgrip was simply ''a'' Clawgrip, implying that Clawgrips are a species.
Later, Wart molds himself into a new hybrid of him with his fallen general, gaining Clawgrip's claws.

* In the credits of ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', as well as ''[[Super Mario All-Stars]]'' and the Japanese version of ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', Clawgrip is called "Clawglip", leading to confusion as to what Clawgrip's official name is to some.

Clawgrip, also titled Clawglip in the ending credits except international Super Mario Advance releases, is a boss introduced in Super Mario Bros. 2. Unlike other enemies, Clawgrip did not appear in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic, where his place as a boss was filled in by a third, cream-white Mouser.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Clawgrip from Super Mario USA
Clawgrip's artwork for the Japanese version, Super Mario USA, was the basis of his artwork for Super Mario Advance

Clawgrip is a boss in Super Mario Bros. 2. He is in World 5-3, where he 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 already being giant at the beginning of the battle against him, is simply a smaller crab. He is grown to his regular size when he is engulfed by several bubbles resembling those spit out by Wart. Once at this size, Clawgrip, in a stereotypical pirate accent, exclaims "Yar! You'll make a tasty treat!", beginning the battle. 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 he is defeated, he says "Yar! You got me!", again in a pirate accent.

BS Super Mario USA[edit]

Clawgrip is a boss 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,[2][dead link] possibly as a nod to not appearing in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]

Clawgrip, from The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode, "Mario of the Deep".

Clawgrip made three appearances in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, where he, along with Mouser, Fryguy, and Tryclyde, was a minion of King Koopa instead of Wart. In all of his appearances on the show, Clawgrip wore a blue bandanna on his head.

Clawgrip's debut in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! was in the episode "Rolling Down the River", where he manned the helm of 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 turnip at Clawgrip, knocking him down onto the ship's lower deck.

In "Pirates of Koopa", Clawgrip can be seen among the minions of Blackbeard Koopa waiting for his return to Pirate's Port.

Clawgrip's made a final appearance in "Mario of the Deep"; here, he attacks Mario, Luigi, 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[edit]

In the Nintendo Comics System, Clawgrip, instead of being a single character, was portrayed as a species, all of whom seemed to work for 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[edit]

Clawgrip and some of his GLOM-created clones try to attack Mario while he is exploring the Mushroom Kingdom in Double Trouble, but he manages to avoid them.

In Pipe Down!, Clawgrip appears guarding a tunnel that leads to Pipe World under the 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[edit]

Appearance in Super Mario-kun

Clawgrip makes an appearance in volume 8 of Super Mario-kun. He is the last of the 8 bits generals to be fought before Wart. 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 Andross-like being. Mario then uses a rocket to defeat him by hitting a weak spot that destroys his polygonal being.

Later, Wart molds himself into a new hybrid of him with his fallen general, gaining Clawgrip's claws.
