'''Sidesteppers''', | |||
'''Sidesteppers''', sometimes referred to as simply '''crabs''', are irritable [[crab]]s that scuttle about. First appearing in ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros.]]'', they typically appear in roles that call back to that game, and otherwise typically make simple cameos. They also occasionally appear in the ''[[Mario Kart (series)|Mario Kart]]'' series, taking the role that generic crabs have in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. | |||
According to [[Gunpei Yokoi]], [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] created the Sidestepper after being inspired by a fairy tale.<ref>[https://news.denfaminicogamer.jp/column01/180619#i-4 『パックマン』にはじまり『スーパーマリオ』でひとつの完成形に達した“キャラクターの身体機能”「なんでゲームは面白い?」第11回].

The Sidestepper is the second enemy that the Mario Bros. encounter in the game ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros | The Sidestepper is the second enemy that the Mario Bros. encounter in the game ''[[Mario Bros. (game)|Mario Bros]]'', first appearing in the phase immediately following the first bonus round. Sidesteppers emerge from the top [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s and walk towards a bottom pipe. When hit from below through the [[floor (Mario Bros.)|floor]], the Sidestepper becomes angry and speeds up. Mario or Luigi must hit the Sidestepper from below a second time to flip it over, then run into it to [[kick]] it off the stage. If left alone, the Sidestepper will change its color to blue and flip over, making it move faster. If left alone a second time, the Sidestepper will be purple. If the last target in a phase is a Sidestepper, it will automatically turn purple. Sidesteppers also appear in all reissues of ''Mario Bros.'', where their colors vary from the original version. For example, in the NES version, they go from red to green to pink. | ||

To defeat them, the player should hit them in the front or back with a [[Green Shell|Koopa Shell]] to turn it angry and sideways, then hit them on the front or back again with another shell. Due to them changing direction, the first hit needs to come from the same layer they are on and the second needs to come from the other layer. After a while, an angry Sidestepper calms down and faces the way it moves again. | ||

In the [[Super Smash Bros. (series)|''Super Smash Bros.'' series]], Sidesteppers appear as hazards on the [[Mario Bros. (stage)|Mario Bros. stage]], first appearing in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and returning in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Sidesteppers walk out of the pipes at the top of the screen. Players can hit them from below to flip them over, and pick them up to throw at opponents. If a player is hit by a thrown Sidestepper, they fly sideways off the screen. | |||

The ''Super Smash Bros.'' series has various items of Sidesteppers. In ''Super Smash Bros. Brawl'', the three Sidestepper variations are featured in a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], which can be obtained at random, and there is also a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] of a Sidestepper, which can be equipped to any fighter in [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]] to boost the strength of their leg-based attacks by eight points. ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'' similarly features a formation of differently-colored Sidesteppers as a trophy in ''[[Super Smash Bros. for Wii U]]'', and it can also be obtained at random. In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', a Sidestepper appears as a Novice-class support [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]], which grants the user more speed in battle at the expense of initial 30% [[smashwiki:Damage|damage]]. In [[smashwiki:Adventure Mode: World of Light|World of Light]], the spirit is located in the retro maze on the east side of the [[smashwiki:Light Realm|Light Realm]] map, and the player can obtain it by winning a fight against a team of twelve [[Mr. Game & Watch]] on the Mario Bros. stage. | |||

Sidesteppers make their ''Paper Mario'' series | Sidesteppers make their first appearance in the [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', where origami red and blue Sidesteppers appear as enemies. The blue Sidesteppers now have the same modern design as their regular red variants used from ''Mario Kart DS'' onwards. Sidesteppers are commonly found in the [[Water Vellumental Shrine]], [[the Great Sea]], the [[Ice Vellumental Mountain]], the [[Sea Tower]], and [[? Island]]. One group is also fought on [[Full Moon Island|Crescent Moon Island]] after being fished out of the sea and releases an [[Earth Vellumental]] [[Magic Circle]] upon being defeated. In battle, the Sidestepper's claws act as spikes, preventing them from being jumped on without Iron Boots, but can be damaged with [[Fire Flower]]s, [[Ice Flower]]s, and [[List of Paper Mario: The Origami King weapons#Hammers|Hurlhammer]]s, as well as being flipped over by POW Blocks. However, if Red Sidesteppers are flipped with a POW Block and recover, they turn into stronger Blue Sidesteppers. On the ? Island, they can be stunned with a POW Block, but turn blue if left alone for a period of time, similarly to ''Mario Bros.'' | ||
===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''=== | |||
Sidesteppers are alluded to in ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Movie]]'', where the scrolling text on the news broadcast for the ruptured main pipe twice mentions "giant underground crabs" being spotted in reference to their original role. | |||

Sidesteppers, sometimes referred to as simply crabs, are irritable crabs that scuttle about. First appearing in Mario Bros., they typically appear in roles that call back to that game, and otherwise typically make simple cameos. They also occasionally appear in the Mario Kart series, taking the role that generic crabs have in Mario Kart 64.
According to Gunpei Yokoi, Shigeru Miyamoto created the Sidestepper after being inspired by a fairy tale.[1]
History
Mario Bros. series
Mario Bros.
The Sidestepper is the second enemy that the Mario Bros. encounter in the game Mario Bros, first appearing in the phase immediately following the first bonus round. Sidesteppers emerge from the top pipes and walk towards a bottom pipe. When hit from below through the floor, the Sidestepper becomes angry and speeds up. Mario or Luigi must hit the Sidestepper from below a second time to flip it over, then run into it to kick it off the stage. If left alone, the Sidestepper will change its color to blue and flip over, making it move faster. If left alone a second time, the Sidestepper will be purple. If the last target in a phase is a Sidestepper, it will automatically turn purple. Sidesteppers also appear in all reissues of Mario Bros., where their colors vary from the original version. For example, in the NES version, they go from red to green to pink.
Mario Bros. Special
In Mario Bros. Special, a Japan-only semi-sequel by Hudson Soft, Sidesteppers reappear but behave differently. The only way to stun them is for Mario and Luigi to bounce on a shared trampoline or conveyor belt. They do not change color or move faster after recovering. It is also possible to force them to respawn from the top pipes if a brother jumps next to or over them while hitting a platform above them.
Punch Ball Mario Bros.
In Hudson Soft's other semi-sequel, Punch Ball Mario Bros., the Sidesteppers can only be stunned by hitting the POW Block or throwing a Punch Ball at them. Unlike in Mario Bros. where the Sidesteppers have six forms, this game only has two. If they recover or become the last target enemy, they will turn green with an angry face and move faster.
Mario Clash
In Mario Clash, Sidesteppers come out of pipes and scuttle forwards. To defeat them, the player should hit them in the front or back with a Koopa Shell to turn it angry and sideways, then hit them on the front or back again with another shell. Due to them changing direction, the first hit needs to come from the same layer they are on and the second needs to come from the other layer. After a while, an angry Sidestepper calms down and faces the way it moves again.
Family BASIC
Sidesteppers are programmable sprites on the Family BASIC accessory to the Family Computer. They also make a cameo on the Message Board. In Family BASIC V3, they appear as an enemy in one of the mini-games.
Super Mario Bros. Special
Sidesteppers also appear in Hudson Soft's Super Mario Bros. Special. Here they are credited as Chokichoki, which translates to "Snip-Snip" in Japanese, referencing the sounds they make when they open and close their claws. They first appear in World 4-2 and unlike most appearances, they can be defeated immediately by bumping the block under them rather than it making them angry.
Super Mario series
Super Mario Bros. 3
Sidesteppers, referred to as Crabs, appear in the multiplayer Battle Mode of Super Mario Bros. 3, as well as the Battle Game in Super Mario All-Stars. Unlike other enemies, they have the same graphics as the NES release of Mario Bros. in the former version, due to already resembling their arcade sprites.
Super Mario Advance
In Super Mario Advance, when approaching Clawgrip, a short cutscene shows he is a crab, transformed into Clawgrip by some of Wart's magic bubbles.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
Sidesteppers appear in Luigi Bros.; an additional game featured in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port. Like the other enemies in Luigi Bros., Sidesteppers behave in the same way as Mario Bros., which this game is based on.
Smaller crabs that behave the same way also appear in some levels, releasing a coin if tapped on the GamePad.
Super Mario Maker
A Sidestepper appears as a costume in Super Mario Maker. It can be unlocked by clearing 100 Mario Challenge on Expert setting or harder. It changes color from red to purple while dashing, and holding will give it an angry expression.
Mario Kart series
In the Mario Kart series, Sidesteppers can be found on beach stages where they walk left and right, replacing the generic crabs from Mario Kart 64. As of Mario Kart DS, they appear with green eyes, and yellow highlights on their claws, not unlike the crabs from Mario Kart 64. Driving into Sidestepper makes the player's kart spin around. If a Sidestepper is hit with a Bullet Bill, shell, star, or Bob-omb, it flips over and disappears.
Mario Kart: Super Circuit
In Mario Kart: Super Circuit, they appear in Shy Guy Beach and Cheep-Cheep Island.
Mario Kart DS
In Mario Kart DS, they appear in Cheep Cheep Beach and Palm Shore. There are missions where they are referred to simply as crabs.
Mario Kart Wii
In Mario Kart Wii, they appear in GBA Shy Guy Beach. During August 2009's first Competition, the player had to take out a certain number of Sidesteppers with items.
Mario Kart 7
In Mario Kart 7, they appear in Cheep Cheep Lagoon, Wario Shipyard, N64 Koopa Beach, and DS Palm Shore.
Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Sidesteppers return in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe on the DS Cheep Cheep Beach course. In the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass, they also appear in the underwater portion of Yoshi's Island, as a possible nod to Clawdaddies from the Yoshi's Island series, and on Tour Bangkok Rush, replacing the tuk-tuks in Mario Kart Tour, and Tour Los Angeles Laps.
Mario Kart Tour
Sidesteppers return in Mario Kart Tour, on N64 Koopa Troopa Beach, 3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon, 3DS Wario Shipyard, Los Angeles Laps, Singapore Speedway 3, the T variant of SNES Koopa Troopa Beach 2, and the R variant of Piranha Plant Cove 2. In certain bonus challenges, there are bigger variants alongside normal Sidesteppers; these bonus challenges include the Steer Clear of Obstacles bonus challenge on N64 Koopa Troopa Beach, GBA Cheep-Cheep Island, 3DS Cheep Cheep Lagoon, and the Glider Challenge on N64 Koopa Troopa Beach and Wii Koopa Cape. Aside from their increased size, they behave the same as normal Sidesteppers.
Mario Party series
Mario Party-e
In Mario Party-e, a Sidestepper appears in Cast Away Mario! as one of the creatures that Mario can catch for Peach.
Super Mario Party
While Sidesteppers themselves do not physically appear in Super Mario Party, the robotic crab used by the team players in the 1-vs-3 minigame Smash and Crab heavily resembles a Sidestepper.
Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga
In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga, crabs make a cameo appearance running in the background and foreground during the battle with Hermie III. In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, they are replaced by Huckit Crabs. They also appear in the Mario Bros. game included in the original game. This time, if they are flipped while red and are left alone, they become green. Doing it again makes them blue. If one is the last enemy of a phase, it will turn blue.
Mario Power Tennis / New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis
The Mario Classic Court in Mario Power Tennis is based on Mario Bros., and the original game's sprites are used, including Sidestepper. During a Gimmick game, Sidestepper might walk across the court and trip a character. Three of them are also line umpires.
Super Smash Bros. series
Template:Main-external In the Super Smash Bros. series, Sidesteppers appear as hazards on the Mario Bros. stage, first appearing in Super Smash Bros. Brawl and returning in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Sidesteppers walk out of the pipes at the top of the screen. Players can hit them from below to flip them over, and pick them up to throw at opponents. If a player is hit by a thrown Sidestepper, they fly sideways off the screen.
The Super Smash Bros. series has various items of Sidesteppers. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the three Sidestepper variations are featured in a trophy, which can be obtained at random, and there is also a sticker of a Sidestepper, which can be equipped to any fighter in The Subspace Emissary to boost the strength of their leg-based attacks by eight points. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U similarly features a formation of differently-colored Sidesteppers as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, and it can also be obtained at random. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, a Sidestepper appears as a Novice-class support spirit, which grants the user more speed in battle at the expense of initial 30% damage. In World of Light, the spirit is located in the retro maze on the east side of the Light Realm map, and the player can obtain it by winning a fight against a team of twelve Mr. Game & Watch on the Mario Bros. stage.
Other appearances
In NES Remix, Sidesteppers, along with other enemies from Mario Bros., appear in some of the challenges and remixes based on Mario Bros. as enemies and stage objectives.
Paper Mario: The Origami King
Sidesteppers make their first appearance in the Paper Mario series in Paper Mario: The Origami King, where origami red and blue Sidesteppers appear as enemies. The blue Sidesteppers now have the same modern design as their regular red variants used from Mario Kart DS onwards. Sidesteppers are commonly found in the Water Vellumental Shrine, the Great Sea, the Ice Vellumental Mountain, the Sea Tower, and ? Island. One group is also fought on Crescent Moon Island after being fished out of the sea and releases an Earth Vellumental Magic Circle upon being defeated. In battle, the Sidestepper's claws act as spikes, preventing them from being jumped on without Iron Boots, but can be damaged with Fire Flowers, Ice Flowers, and Hurlhammers, as well as being flipped over by POW Blocks. However, if Red Sidesteppers are flipped with a POW Block and recover, they turn into stronger Blue Sidesteppers. On the ? Island, they can be stunned with a POW Block, but turn blue if left alone for a period of time, similarly to Mario Bros.
The Super Mario Bros. Movie
Sidesteppers are alluded to in The Super Mario Bros. Movie, where the scrolling text on the news broadcast for the ruptured main pipe twice mentions "giant underground crabs" being spotted in reference to their original role.

Be careful not to beat excessively If it is punched once, it transforms into an angry crab and its speed increases; if it is punched twice, it turns over, but if it is revived, it transforms further into a fast and furious blue crab. If you turn it over, you must immediately kick it out. | |||||

This is different from Sidestepper. This crab should be called the father of the Sidesteppers. This one, too, will transform into an angry crab after you hit it once. Moreover, it speeds up many times after it revives. | |||||

Crabby enemies taken on by Mario and Luigi. One bump from below wouldn't flip them over, but rather anger them so they moved faster. These pests had to be bumped twice before they could be upended and kicked off the stage. If left alone after being turned upside down, or if there was one left, their speed would increase. They went by the basic name of "crabs" in Japan. |

Can you guess how this crab-like enemy moves? The name might give you a clue. But Mario could be in for a surprise when he punches one from below—instead of flipping over, it starts sidestepping even faster! Oh, Mario, did you make it angry? Don't worry—a second punch should calm it down...or at least knock it on its head. (American English) | ||||||||
