Shellcracker

This short article is in need of work. You can help Sonic Retro by adding to it.

Shellcracker (called Kanipunch in the Japanese manual), found in Metropolis Zone, is a crab with a giant claw. When you approach from the side it will suddenly extend its claw and try to punch you. They are a real pain in the backside to get past. Hit the vulnerable side, which is the side that doesn't have the claw facing you.
