Jellyfish sometimes appear in theSuper Mario franchise. Their appearance is slightly distinct in almost every game they appear in, but always retain the usual traits of their real life counterparts, such as tentacles and globe-shaped bells. Jellyfish also serve as basis for other creatures found in theSuper Mario games, includingJelectros fromSuper Mario Bros. 3 andJellybeams fromNew Super Mario Bros. Wii.
History[edit]
Mario & Wario[edit]
InMario & Wario,Wario uses a jellyfish onLEVEL6: Pukupuku Kai to obscureMario's view.
Super Mario Sunshine[edit]
Jellyfish make a minor appearance inSuper Mario Sunshine, where Nokis are seen riding them in the episodeThe Red Coin Fish. They are harmless, as bumping into them does not hurt Mario.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze[edit]
InDonkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and its Nintendo Switchport, jellyfish[1] appear as common enemies in the water levels ofSea Breeze Cove. Their movement path may vary from individual to individual; some simply swim in a straight line up and down, while other revolve around a certain spot. Jellyfish charge up some momentum before moving in a set direction. Like theJelly Fish inDonkey Kong Jungle Beat, they are electrically charged and can damage theKongs on contact. They can only be defeated with a nearbyKong POW. These enemies glow softly and are clearly visible in the dark, as seen inAmiss Abyss, a level which marks their first encounter with the Kongs in the game.
