Kānyī (カーニィー [1]) are crab enemies that appear in Donkey Kong on the Game Boy. They make their first appearance in stage 3-2 on the Ship. Kānyī walk around slowly, and sometimes stop and hide inside their shell. Mario can stand on them fine, but if he walks into them from the side, he loses a life. Kānyī enemies also try to defeat Mario themselves by reaching out to him with their extendable claws.
The species' name is derived from the Japanese word "kani", which translates into "crab".
