Scurvy Crew

The Scurvy Crew are a trio of bosses that appear in the Donkey Kong series, first appearing in . They are the boss of the game's second world, Beach, and are hypnotized by the Maraca Gang to battle Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. The Scurvy Crew's leader is the red crab, Cap'n Greenbeard, who has a beard, pirate hat, an eye patch, and a hook replacing his left pincer.

==History==
===Donkey Kong Country Returns===
The Scurvy Crew appear as bosses in Donkey Kong Country Returns, being the boss in the game's second world, battled in the level Pinchin' Pirates. They is first seen lounging around and eating bananas before the Maraca Gang appear and possess them to battle Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong when they arrive. Each Tiki possesses one of the crabs individually.
In battle, the Scurvy Crew will take turns burrowing out of the sand and sidestepping around the arena, damaging the Kongs with their pincer or weapon if they touch them. To damage them, the Kongs must first jump on their head to stun them, then use a Ground Pound to knock them over, and hit them on their underside. They must repeat this for the other two crabs.
Once all three crabs are damaged, they will each stack on each other and sidestep around the arena together. Because of their increased height, the Kongs must use platforms to jump over them. After awhile, they will lift their pincers and weapons, allowing them to roll into them. This knocks all three of them over, and the Kongs must jump on their undersides again. This entire process must be repeated again to defeat them.
Once defeated, each member of the Scurvy Crew will dig out of the sand and faint. Cap'n Greenbeard makes a threatening gesture to the Kongs before he faints as well. The Maraca Gang then appear dizzy, and Donkey Kong punches them multiple times before sending them away.

:"Lots of vitamin C won't do you much good against the Scurvy Crew. These are some crabby pirates! Even before the Tiki Tak Tribe hypnotized them, these sailors were scary. Just look at that hook! Or that sword! Or that...fork? OK, back to the sword!"
