'''Cobrats''' | '''Cobrats''' are large desert-dwelling snakes that were first seen in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where they would unexpectedly spring from sand or [[jar]]s. Their name is a portmanteau of "brat" and "{{wp|cobra}}," which is a kind of snake famous for being {{wp|snake charming|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]].<ref name=charmer>「いつもは{{ruby|壺|つぼ}}の{{ruby|中|なか}}で{{ruby|寝|ね}}ているがマムーの{{ruby|命令|めいれい}}で{{ruby|動|うご}}き{{ruby|出|だ}}す。へび{{ruby|使|うか}}いの{{ruby|夢|ゆめ}}によく{{ruby|現|あらわ}}れる。」 ("''Usually asleep in a jar, it moves on Mamu's command.

In | In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Cobrats [[jump]] out of the sand or [[jar]]s to attack, and most of them can spit out black projectiles similar to [[Snifit]]s. 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. | ||
