Prerequisites: AF Torch of Coral
Use the Torch of Coral in Landmake to put Madora Beach on the map.
The first time you enter, you'll meet two Pirate Penguins, David and
Valerie, and receive the quest "Summer Lovin'." Once the penguins
depart, you'll be able to move, and can race around trying to crush
as many as crabs as you can before they escape. (Crushing the crabs,
as you'll soon seen, is a challenge but one not required to finish
the quest.)
Follow the penguins to the east, fighting all the monsters, until you
reach a cave entrance. Enter and smash all the crabs that you can.
Take the southeast entrance from the screen and proceed through several
more screens until you reach another crab room. Go on the usual
rampage here. You can now either take the northeast exit to a beach
where you can catch eggs and elemental spirits, or just proceed
northwest towards the boss. Head west across Prince Beach to another
cave with the final set of crabs. Take the south exit from this crab
room to the boss: Fullmetal Haggar, straight from Seiken Densetsu 3.
The crab-like entity can jump around; fortunately, you can see its
shadow and get out of the way. It also has a wide-range laser; when
you see its eyes glowing, moving to its side. X button attacks are
your best against it. When Fullmetal Haggar is defeated, you'll be
taken to a beach just northwest of the last crab room, where Valerie
will reward you with an Artifact (probably the Rusty Anchor) or a
metal.
If you return to Madora Beach after completing the quest, you can
try your hand at crab-smashing again. The crab on the beach where
Valerie was will tell you many crabs you stepped on (out of 30),
then kick you back to the world map. Good luck smashing them all;
they're hard to catch!

"Clobbering crabs at the beach! That sounds like fun, but I feel bad for the crabs. Surprise lesson of the day: penguins can fall in love!"
