Template:Species-infobox Huckit Crabs[1] are a species of red crabs consisting of a shell, two yellow feet and only one claw that it uses to throw either sand balls or rocks. They also have an endless supply of projectiles. Their goal is to hit Mario and his company with their projectiles, which travel in a straight line when thrown.

History

Super Mario series

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

Huckit Crab
A Huckit Crab throwing a sand ball.

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Huckit Crabs appear only in the third stage of World 4, where they are found in large quantities. They 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 Starman. The sand balls can also be defeated, but only by jumping on them, as ice balls and fireballs are ineffective. They behave very similarly to Spikes.

New Super Mario Bros. U

Huckit Crabs reappear in the Wii U game, New Super Mario Bros. U. This time, they throw rocks. This is similar to the Stone Spikes, who used to throw rocks, but now throw sand balls. Also, the rocks they throw can be raised in elevation by a Water Spout.

Mario Party series

Mario Party 9

In Mario Party 9, Huckit Crabs appear on the Blooper Beach stage. When the player lands on an Event Space, which appear after traversing half the board, the crabs on a pirate ship fire their cannons, which turn any Mini Stars into Mini Ztars and vice versa. Several scattered Huckit Crabs also appear on the board.

Mario Party: Island Tour

Huckit Crabs appear in various minigames in Mario Party: Island Tour.

Mario Party 10

Huckit Crabs reappear in Mario Party 10 in Whimsical Waters and in some minigames.

Trivia

  • Their name is a pun on "hermit crab" (the crab species they resemble), and the term "chuck it", as they throw sand balls.
  • Huckit Crab moves are very similar to Snifit moves. Both jump, walk, and throw small balls.
  • Huckit Crabs are also similar to the Super Mario Bros. 2 boss Clawgrip, as they are both crustaceans and can throw rocks.
