BACKGROUND:
Clawgrip was an ordinary crab until Wart's army got ahold of him. Seeing potential in the little red crab's ability to toss rocks almost as large as itself, Wart had Clawgrip magically grown to epic proportions and stationed him as the guardian of the sixth world door.
While powerful and dangerous, Clawgrip was not very intelligent. Mario and friends exterminated the giant crustacean.

Attack Pattern: Clawgrip scuttles back and forth on a small platform and tosses rocks at any intruders. He throws at random angles to try to keep opponents off guard but his aim is poor.
Basic Strategies: Try to jump onto the rocks he throws and toss them back at him. Certain areas of the room are safe from Clawgrip's rocks. Mario or Toad are the best choices.
Advanced Strategies: Stand on one of the stairs leading up to Clawgrip's platform (on the right side of the pit). Most of the steps are safe from his rocks. Now just wait for one of his rocks to roll all way back across the pit and jump on it to grab it before it rolls back into the pit. This technique takes a bit of patience but it's very safe and effective.
