+'''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''===
-[[Image:Page5shot.jpg|frame|right|Blue and Red Jellyfish.]]
+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.
-Appearing in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', the '''Jellyfish''' are giant jellyfish that live around [[Yoshi's Island]].  They are invincible to all known means of defeat, and have a greed for intruders to their waters.  Jellyfish come in three colors:  Blue, Red, and Green.  Blue Jellyfish simply move wherever they want.  Red Jellyfish chase Yoshi.  Green Jellyfish simply float up and down. Red Jellyfish can sometimes have an item like a [[Fruit]] or a [[Heart Fruit]].
+===''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.

-Jellyfish only appear in Stage 5-1: Lots o' Jellyfish.  Green ones don't appear until the third part.

-It is entirely possible that Jellyfish are related to [[Jelectro]]s, another type of jellyfish enemy found in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Pre-''Yoshi's Story'' jellyfish also appeared in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', going under the name "[[Preying Mantas]]".

-There are also two [[Jellyfish Sisters]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]''. In this game, Jellyfish are depicted as a [[human]]oid, [[Toad]]-like, bipedal, and very rare species. As a matter of fact, only two other Jellyfish exist in the game, one as a clerk in the Massage Room, the other at the beach of the [[Beanbean Kingdom]] explaining how to cross [[Oho Ocean]].

-Later in ''[[Donkey Kong Jungle Beat]]'' small Jellyfish that looked more like actual ones and not cartoon-like ones appeared as enemies that would shock [[Donkey Kong]].
