Jellybeams are encountered in [[World 8-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-4]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They serve to illuminate the dark waters, and move up and down slowly. A Jellybeam can still harm the player character on contact. Jellybeams can be defeated from either [[fireball]]s or a [[Super Star]]. Mario can also freeze Jellybeams, causing them to stop moving, but they will continue to illuminate the water. When a "[[Paah|bah]]" is heard in the music, Jellybeams briefly flash their lights.
In ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', Jellybeams are only found in [[World 8-4 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 8-4]] and serve to illuminate the dark waters. They are found along with [[Stone Spike]]s, [[Cheep Cheep]]s, [[Deep Cheep|Deep-Cheeps]], [[Blooper]]s, and [[Bulber]]s.
 
Jellybeams move up and down slowly. Despite helping [[Mario]] to see underwater, they can also hurt him if Mario touches them. Jellybeams can be defeated with [[fireball]]s or a [[Super Star]]. Mario can also freeze them, causing them to stop moving, but they will continue to illuminate the water.

Jellybeams reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' acting in the same manner as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'', and appear only in [[Deepsea Ruins]] of [[Soda Jungle]] with Bulbers, [[Fish Bone]]s, and [[Boo Buddies|Circling Boo Buddies]].

Jellybeams appear in the underwater segments of {{classic-link|GCN|Sherbet Land}}, [[Dolphin Shoals]], and [[Piranha Plant Cove]] in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They illuminate the water around them but do not actively interact with drivers.

Jellybeams appear at the beginning of the underwater section of [[Piranha Plant Cove|Piranha Plant Cove 2]] in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. Like the [[Bumper (Mario Kart series)|bumpers]] in [[DS Waluigi Pinball]], they bounce away drivers who run into them, even if said drivers are under the effects of a [[Frenzy]], [[Mega Mushroom]], [[Bullet Bill]], or [[Super Star]]. Jellybeams grant bonus points when hit with an offensive item (except for a [[Banana]] or [[Giant Banana]]) or when simply driven into; if a driver lands on top of a Jellybeam, they additionally receive a [[Jump Boost]]. Most items, when thrown, break on contact with a Jellybeam, while others are bounced away (Bananas and Giant Bananas) and some pass through it ([[Bowser's Shell]]s and [[Giga Bob-omb]]s).
