'''Jumbo Rays'''<ref>Bueno, Fernando. ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Pages 10, 106, 107.</ref> are a type of [[Manta]] that first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. These rays are green and wear a pair of swim goggles. They have the ability to leap and fly through the sky, so [[Mario]] and company can stand on them as platforms until they disappear into the fog. Their appearance and manner are similar to those of [[Dolphin]]s. Despite being Mantas, they lack the usual pair of cephalic fins around their mouths, and instead resemble {{wp|Myliobatis|eagle ray}}s with their slightly elongated snouts.
==History==
===''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''===
[[File:NSMBW World 5-5 Screenshot.png|thumb|left|A group of three Jumbo Rays fly through the clouds]]
Jumbo Rays appear only in [[World 5-5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5-5]] of ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Here, Mario and company must use them to traverse the level. Jumbo Rays make a whistling noise when the player jumps on them similar to when a noise is heard when the player jumps on a [[Para-Beetle]]. However, the Jumbo Rays' sound does not go up the music scale as the Para-Beetle does, and one of the first mods of the game revealed that, unlike the latter, the former do not whistle when jumped on with [[Yoshi]]. Additionally, they are not enemies and cannot hurt Mario.

===''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX''===
In ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP DX]]'', a single Jumbo Ray makes an appearance near the beginning of the underwater zone of [[Tropical Coast]]. Unlike other appearances, it does not fly in the air.
