'''Cobrats''', also named '''Snakes''',<ref>{{cite|title=''[[Nintendo Power]]'' Volume 185|page=116|date=November 2004}}</ref> are large desert-dwelling serpents which first appeared as enemies in ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. In those games, they would pop out of [[jar]]s or sand and spit bullets at the player character. [[Tryclyde]], a boss in ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' and ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' resembles a three-headed Cobrat.
'''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. Often appears in the dreams of snake charmers.'') - ''Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic'' instruction booklet, page 34 (ガラゲーロ).</ref><ref name=Toad>"''Usually asleep in a jar, it moves on Wart's command, often appearing in the dreams of Toad.''" - ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' instruction booklet, page 25 (Cobrat description).</ref> The ''Super Mario Bros. 2'' boss [[Tryclyde]] resembles a three-headed Cobrat.
 
Their English name is a portmanteau of "brat" and "{{wp|cobra}}," snakes known for being {{wp|snake charming|charmed}} out of baskets through the use of an instrument called a {{wp|pungi}}. An association with snake charming is conveyed in the original Japanese text, in which Cobrats are said to be under the control of [[Wart]].<ref name=charmer>{{cite|quote=「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 ''[[Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic]]'' and ''[[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.

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]]."
