Wii]]''. Their name is a pun on "{{wp|jelly bean}}," as well as a portmanteau of "jellyfish" and "beam." Their appearance is reminiscent of [[Jelectro]]s from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' while also incorporating bioluminescent spots reminiscent of the reflective cilia of {{iw|wikipedia|Ctenophora|comb jellies}}. | | [[File:Jellybeam1.PNG|200px|left|thumb|Mario encounters three '''Jellybeams''']] |
| | '''Jellybeams''' are a type of jellyfish enemies that appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. Their name is a pun on [[wikipedia:Jelly bean|jelly bean]]. They 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]]s, [[Blooper]]s, and [[Bulber]]s. |
|
| |
|
| ==History==
| | Jellybeam reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' acting in the same manner as in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' appear only in [[Deepsea Ruins]] of [[Soda Jungle]] with [[Bulber]]s, [[Fishbone]]s and [[Circling Boo Buddies]]. |

| |
| 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''New Super Mario Bros. U'' / ''New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe''====
| | Despite helping [[Mario]] to see underwater, they can also hurt him if Mario touches them. Jellybeams can be defeated with [[fireball]]s or a [[Star|Starman]]. Mario can also freeze them, causing them to stop moving, but they will continue to illuminate the water. Their movements can be compared to a [[Thwomp]], although rather than slamming down on the ground when Mario approaches, automatically moves up and down slowly. |
| 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]].
| |
|
| |
|
| ===''Mario Kart'' series===
| | There is a very similar enemy named [[Jelectro]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. The differences between the enemies is that the Jelectro is smaller, immobile and invincible. |
| ====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
| |
| [[File:MK8 Dolphin Shoals Unagi.png|thumb|Jellybeams in ''Mario Kart 8'']] | |
| 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.
| |
|
| |
|
| ====''Mario Kart Tour''====
| | Jellybeams are also seen in the underwater sections of the [[Sherbet Land (GCN)|<small>GCN</small> Sherbet Land]] and [[Dolphin Shoals]] track in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''. |
| 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). | |
