Snakes are a species of limbless reptiles in the Super Mario franchise, with many creatures based off of them.
History
Mario Kart series
In the Mario Kart series, snakes can be found in Shy Guy Bazaar in Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart Tour, and Mario Kart World. In the race course, snakes hide in snake jars, and unlike normal jars, are able to move around. If a racer or an item collides with a snake jar, it releases several small, green snakes as an aesthetic effect. These snakes make squawking noises while bearing a smiling expression when they leave their jars. However, in Mario Kart World, only one green snake springs out the jar. In the game, they are slightly bigger from previous entries, and are redesigned, taking elements from both Cobrat, Hisstocrat, and, or his snake minions.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
- Main article: Hisstocrat
A huge, violet-colored snake named Hisstocrat appears as a boss in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. The male is first fought in A Banquet with Hisstocrat, where Mario and co. can use the plates that are on his snake helpers to reach his weak spot.
A female, magenta-colored Hisstocrat serves as the boss of Hisstocrat Returns, where she can be defeated the same way as the male. Both the male and female Hisstocrats reappear in Boss Blitz, where they are both fought at the same time.
Donkey Kong Bananza
In Donkey Kong Bananza, a sapient species of snakes appears in the Radiance Layer.
