About this game

Crab Grab is a Nintendo Super Color Game & Watch game, identified as model UD-202. Players move a character from left to right across four colored columns—purple, green, orange, and blue—to push away crabs approaching from above.

More crabs continually appear, and the game ends after three crabs pinch the character. Crab Grab was one of two Super Color games, alongside Spitball Sparky. The Nintendo of America release featured exclusive box art, while the game included a gray instructional leaflet.
