Klambers,[1] also known as Yellow Spiders[2][3][4] and Scuttle Bugs,[5] are yellow metallic enemies resembling Scuttle Bugs that appear only in Super Mario Sunshine. Their name is a corruption of the word "clamber," referring to their climbing ability. They can be found in both Ricco Harbor and Pianta Village. Klambers are usually seen climbing cages or walls, either vertically or upside-down. Klambers can be kicked or ground-pounded by Mario to be defeated. Klambers climbing on solid walls can be defeated only from being eaten by a Yoshi or sprayed with juice. Spraying Klambers with water from FLUDD briefly immobilizes them. Unlike Red Electrokoopas, Klambers always knock Mario off the cage if they damage him. Three of the Klambers in Ricco Harbor release a Blue Coin after being defeated, while others release either a coin or nothing at all.
