'''Jelectros''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They are glowing, electric [[jellyfish]] that slightly bob in place underwater.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Jelectros appear in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. Jelectros are invincible to all attacks, even [[Invincible Mario]] and [[Hammer Mario|hammers]]. Jelectros are first encountered in [[World 3-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 3-5]], being spread throughout, while in [[World 7-4 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 7-4]], a large swarm of them is encountered in the middle of the level. Jelectros are like [[Muncher]]s in that the game programs them as damaging, animated scenery tiles, making them an indestructible solid surface. Artwork of the Jelectros depict them as smooth, as opposed to the gray spots on their sprites. Additionally, the remakes recolor the Jelectros to be blue, instead of black.

Jelectros bob up and down in place in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', rather than staying completely still. They also appear in one [[World-e]] level, [[Sea to Sky]].

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Jelectros are course elements in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its Nintendo 3DS version]], and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They replace the [[Spike Trap]]s when creating a course in the ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' underwater theme, keeping their properties from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. In ''Super Mario Maker'', they are only identified as Spike Traps, but ''Super Mario Maker 2'' calls them by their actual name.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===

Jelectros also make appearances in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Here they are similar to their game appearances, except they have glowing red eyes and a more squared shape. They appear in episodes such as "[[Reptiles in the Rose Garden]]", where they can actually move, and "[[The Ugly Mermaid]]", where they stand still like they originally do in ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.

===''Super Mario Bros. Print World''===
A Jelectro appears in the printing software, ''[[Super Mario Bros. Print World]]'', in the artwork entitled "Swimming Mario" alongside [[Mario]].

===''Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up''===
A Jelectro makes a cameo appearance on the Marine Biologist page in ''[[Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up]]'', and is even mentioned in the description.<ref>{{cite|quote=Mario the marine biologist has just discovered some new life forms living at the bottom of the sea: Cheep-Cheeps, Jelectros, Bloobers, and Trouters, to name a few.|title=''Super Mario Bros. & Friends: When I Grow Up''|publisher=Merit Software|date=1992|language=en|author=Marine Biologist page description}}</ref>

===Nintendo Adventure Book===
In the [[Nintendo Adventure Book]] ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', [[Luigi]] spots some Jelectros through a window while exploring [[Iggy|Iggy Koopa]]'s secret underwater lab in [[Water Land]]. Three weeks later, some Jelectros appear in the swimming portion of the International Mushroom Games obstacle course. If the reader chooses Luigi to compete in the course, one of the Jelectros will shock and briefly stun him as soon as he enters the water.
