Klambers,[1] also known as Yellow Spiders[2][3][4] and Scuttle Bugs,[5] are enemies in Super Mario Sunshine. They are yellow metallic arachnids resembling Scuttle Bugs. Their name is a corruption of the word "clamber," referring to their climbing ability. Klambers are encountered in Ricco Harbor and Pianta Village. They usually climb 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. The spoils from defeating a Klamber is either a Blue Coin, as is the case with three in Ricco Harbor, a coin, or nothing at all.
