'''Jellyfish''' in the [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'' franchise]] are aquatic creatures that commonly appear as enemies. Their appearance is slightly distinct in almost every game they appear in, but always retain the usual traits of real life {{wp|jellyfish}}, such as tentacles and globe-shaped bells. Jellyfish also serve as basis for other creatures found in the ''Super Mario'' games, including [[Jelectro]]s from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' and [[Jellybeam]]s from ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.
==History==
===''Mario & Wario''===
In ''[[Mario & Wario]]'', [[Wario]] uses a jellyfish on [[Pukupuku Kai|LEVEL6: Pukupuku Kai]] to obscure [[Mario]]'s view.

===''Super Mario Sunshine''===
Jellyfish make a minor appearance in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', where Nokis are seen riding them in the episode [[The Red Coin Fish]]. They are harmless, as bumping into them does not hurt Mario.

===''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze''===

In ''[[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze]]'' and its Nintendo Switch [[Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (Nintendo Switch)|port]], jellyfish<ref>von Esmarch, Nick, and Cory van Grier. ''Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 13.</ref> appear as common enemies in the water levels of [[Sea 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 the [[Jelly Fish]] in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'', they are electrically charged and can damage the [[Kong]]s on contact. They can only be defeated with a nearby [[Kong POW]]. These enemies glow softly and are clearly visible in the dark, as seen in [[Amiss Abyss]], a level which marks their first encounter with the Kongs in the game.
