In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Cobrats [[jump]] out of the sand or [[vase]]s to attack, and most of them can spit out black projectiles similar to [[Snifits]]. They appear in the desert levels and are easy to defeat if in a line; the player can throw one and cause a domino effect. They can be avoided easily and only pose a threat when in large numbers.

Cobrats appeared several times on ''[[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]]'', where their size varied from minuscule to exceptionally large. The role of Cobrats in the show varied, as they would occasionally appear as enemy monsters and on other occasions would be used as handheld weaponry, capable of firing small, exploding black orbs. They have even been used as transportation in the episode [[Star Koopa]]. A Cobrat also appeared in [[Butch Mario & the Luigi Kid]] where Sheriff Mouser used it as a weapon.

Cobrats, also named Snakes,[1] are large desert-dwelling snakes which first appear in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2. Their name is a portmanteau of "brat" and "cobra," which is a kind of snake famous for being charmed out of baskets through the use of flute-like musical instruments. In reference to this, they are said to be under the command of Wart.[2][3] The Super Mario Bros. 2 boss Tryclyde resembles a three-headed Cobrat.

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2[edit]

Cobrat
Original artwork used for Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic

In Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2, Cobrats jump out of the sand or jars to attack, and most of them can spit out black projectiles similar to Snifits. They appear in the desert levels and are easy to defeat if in a line; the player can throw one and cause a domino effect. They can be avoided easily and only pose a threat when in large numbers.

Super Mario All-Stars / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

In the remakes of Super Mario Bros. 3 included in Super Mario All-Stars and Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, the king who rules Grass Land is changed into a Cobrat by Larry Koopa.

The Super Mario Bros. Super Show![edit]

Cobrat
A typical Cobrat from the The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! episode "The Ten Koopmandments"

Cobrats appear several times on The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, where their size varies from minuscule to exceptionally large. The role of Cobrats in the show varies, as they occasionally appear as enemy monsters and on other occasions are used as handheld weaponry, capable of firing small, exploding black orbs. They are used as transportation in the episode "Star Koopa."

List of episodes featuring Cobrats

Nintendo Comics System[edit]

In the Nintendo Comics System story Just Deserts, two Cobrats, which are capable of speech, appear as inhabitants of Bowser's desert fortress; the story itself makes it ambiguous as to whether or not these two Cobrats are actually affiliated with Bowser or simply live in his pyramid fortress.

Nintendo Adventure Books[edit]

In Leaping Lizards, an unnamed Cobrat competes in the International Mushroom Games as a member of a team called the Sneaks. It participates in the Beetlebowl (an all-team event) and the Super Triple Jump, where it leaps by coiling its body up like a spring.

Super Mario-kun[edit]

Cobrat. Page 28, volume 8 of Super Mario-kun.

In volume 8 of Super Mario-kun, a Cobrat breaks out of a fake drink vending machine located in a desert. Yoshi shortly eats it. More Cobrats appear out of jars. Birdo tries shooting eggs at one, but the Cobrat eats them. Mario then dives into a jar to obtain a POW Block. He then uses it to defeat the Cobrats.

Mario Pinball Land[edit]

Snakes in Mario Pinball Land appear inside the pyramid in the Shifting Sands Stage, where they slither out of jars. In this game, they do not spit bullets and are green instead of red, but otherwise resemble their original sprite.

Mario Kart series[edit]

Snakes springing out of a jar as it breaks in Mario Kart 7

Cobrat-like snakes appear on the course Shy Guy Bazaar in Mario Kart 7 and Mario Kart Tour. They hide in snake jars, which move around in attempt to delay the racers. When crashed into, several snakes spring out. The jar immediately reappears after the shattered jar vanishes. As in Mario Pinball Land, the snakes are colored green rather than red, and they make squawking noises when they leave their jars. Within the same course, red Cobrat sprites from Super Mario Bros. 2 make up some of the motifs decorating the red-colored carpets found throughout the course—specifically, those covering the market stalls. In this game, they have a smiling expression.

Profiles and statistics[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 2 / Super Mario Advance[edit]

  • Bio: Usually asleep in a jar, it moves on Wart's command, often appearing in the dreams of Toad.[3]
  • Bio (Game Boy Advance version): You'll find Cobrats hidden in jars. When you approach, these troublesome little snakes will pop right out to attack. Think twice when jumping into jars.[4]
