Crabs in the [[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Game Boy Advance version]] of ''[[Donkey Kong Country]]'' are interactive creatures in the [[Funky's Fishing]] minigame, where a crab appears randomly and scurries across the bottom of the water rather quickly. Multiple crabs can appear in one go, and catching them usually gives enough [[point]]s for an automatic level up. When playing Funky's Fishing in the main game mode, only one crab can appear, and catching it has no effect on the score; however, if the crab is caught successfully, [[Funky Kong]] will give [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] a [[Photograph]] after the minigame ends. The crab does not appear again afterward.
In ''[[Donkey Kong Country (Game Boy Advance)|Donkey Kong Country]]'' for the [[Game Boy Advance]], [[Donkey Kong]] and [[Diddy Kong]] may encounter a crab during a challenge at [[Funky's Fishing]]. The crab has no effect on the [[Kong]]s' score, but if they can succeed in hooking it, they will earn themselves a special [[Photograph]] from [[Funky Kong]]. It scurries across the bottom of the water rather quickly, and it appears randomly, so the Kongs should always keep an eye out for it. Once the crab is caught, it never appears again in the challenge mode. However, when the game is played from the minigame menu, multiple crabs can appear in one go and usually give enough [[point]]s for an automatic level up when caught.

Small crabs in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'' appear as wildlife in the [[Lake Kingdom]], the [[Seaside Kingdom]], and the [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Mario Odyssey)|Mushroom Kingdom]]. In the Lake and Mushroom Kingdoms, they are pink, and in the Seaside Kingdom, they are yellow. Like the other small animals, they will flee if Mario approaches them, and following them for an extended period of time causes them to burrow into the sand, often leaving behind a [[coin]].
