A Huckit Crab from Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, Huckit Crabs replace the Sidesteppers that run past in the background of Hermie III's battle in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga.

Dr. Mario World

A Huckit Crab in Dr. Mario World

Huckit Crabs appear in Dr. Mario World as assistants. In stage mode, they increase the player's base score by 50 points for every yellow virus the player eliminates. In versus mode, they grant a 20% chance that a rainbow capsule will appear within 20 seconds of starting a match. When duplicate Huckit Crabs are obtained in Staffing, these numbers can be increased up to 200 points in stage mode, and 100% in versus mode. Huckit Crabs also appear in the overworld for World 3 when it is cleared.

  • Their name is a pun on "hermit crab" (the crab species they resemble), and the term "chuck it", as they throw sand balls.
  • Their rock-throwing technique is very similar to Clawgrip, the crab boss from Super Mario Bros 2.
