Proprietor of the Krusty Krab in Bikini Bottom, Eugene Harold Krabs — better known as Mr. Krabs — is the first DLC character joining the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 roster next week, officially joining the battle on Annoy Squidward Day on Thursday, February 15.
The SpongeBob SquarePants favourite is part of the game's first season pass, which will also be adding Rocksteady (from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), and Prince Zuko and Uncle Iroh (from Avatar: The Last Airbender). However, you'll also be able to pick up each character individually.
Lots of people are already getting excited about the new trailer, below, noting some very familiar animations and nods to SpongeBob episodes. His Super (think Final Smash) also looks to be pretty hilarious, too. Also included are his tiny violin, and voice acting, which includes the famous dolphin cry whenever he curses. Mr. Krabs promises to show us how he got the name "Armor Clad Krabs."

Mr. Krabs uses a variety of attacks that are based on classic episodes of SpongeBob SquarePants. For example, one of his attack strings is based on the time he used an undead swordfish's head as a sword, from the episode "One Krab's Trash." Other references to the show include his Super Attack, where Krabs captures his opponent on a fishing line and holds him up to be eaten by the giant Clam that ate his millionth dollar, playing the world's smallest violin as a taunt, or his throw being animated similarly to when he threw a patron out of the Krusty Krab.
Mr. Krabs is the fourth SpongeBob rep in the Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl 2 character roster. He joins SpongeBob himself, along with Patrick. Squidward and Mecha Plankton. The remaining three DLC characters haven't been given release dates, but they're all due to arrive in 2024.
This news also comes alongside Version 1.5, which is out now and includes a number of hotfixes and balancing changes. You can check out the full list of tweaks right here.
