====''Super Mario Bros. 2''====

In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', they are the main modes of transportation of [[Subcon]]; if a character goes down a jar, they will appear in a small room sometimes containing a [[key]] being protected by a [[Phanto]]. In some levels throwing a [[Magical Potion]] on to a jar will allow the player to warp through the [[World]]s, acting as the [[Warp Zone]]s of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. Magical Potions will not work inside jars though. [[Cobrat]]s sometimes lurk in the opening of some jars. Certain jars generate endless streams of enemies like [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]]s or red [[Shy Guy|Shyguy]]s unless their entrances are blocked. In ''[[Super Mario Advance]]'', some jars also contain [[Spark]]s and [[Spark Chaser]]s, as well as (sometimes Shyguy-ridden) Ferris wheel platforms and big blue spikes; jar were also added to levels in that version, and certain closed-off jars in previous versions were opened.

Jars also appear in the pseudo-sequel, ''[[BS Super Mario USA]]'', and can be used in the same way as ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. In [[Subspace]], jars lead [[Mario]] to [[Wart]] in order to battle him.

Four jars appear on the first pyramid interior board of the [[Shifting Sands Stage]] in ''[[Mario Pinball Land]]''. In this appearance, they have earthy colors and diamond shapes on their pattern. They cannot be interacted with as their corners are elevated, but [[Cobrat|Snake]]s come out of them if the top middle tile is activated.

===''Mario Kart'' series===

Jars appear in two sizes throughout the [[Shy Guy Bazaar]] course in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. They are depicted with a green hue, full lower diamond shapes, no horizontal lines, and a lid covering the top. The large version is decorative, but the small version, known as '''snake jars''', appears as an obstacle. If driven into, they break and some items will fly out, namely [[banana]]s. Some of them can also walk and move around, and they reveal many [[Cobrat]]s when broken.
