First appearance Super Mario Galaxy (2007)
Latest appearance Super Mario 3D All-Stars (2020)

Crabbers[1] are crab enemies from Super Mario Galaxy and Super Mario Galaxy 2. They appear to be inspired by the fiddler crab, which is known for having a claw larger than the other. Mario can defeat a Crabber by spinning 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 Bits 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[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy[edit]

Crabbers in Sea Slide Galaxy.

In Super Mario Galaxy, Crabbers can be found in certain 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[edit]

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 cases.

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.

Appearances[edit]

  • Baseline sprite of the Star Pointer in Super Mario Galaxy. marks missions where Big Gringills are completely absent.
  • Galaxy StarP.png marks missions where Big Gringills are loaded and may be visible but cannot be encountered directly.
