| | '''Jellybeams''' are a new type of jellyfish enemies that appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are only found in World 8-4 and serve to illuminate the dark waters. They are found in flocks along with [[Stone Spike]]s, [[Cheep-Cheep]]s, [[Blooper]]s and [[Bulber]]s. |

Wii'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|page=161|date=November 15, 2009|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|language=en-us|isbn=978-0-307-46592-4}}</ref> are a [[jellyfish]] enemy introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 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}}. | |

|
| ==History==
| | Despite helping Mario to see underwater, they can also hurt him if Mario touches them. Mario can also freeze them, causing them to stop moving but they will continue to illuminate the water. |
| ===''Super Mario'' series===

| |
| 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''==== | | ==Trivia== |
| 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]].
| | *A very similar enemy named [[Jelectro]] appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They have the same appearance as a Jellybeam, although they're smaller immobile. |

| 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 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).

| There is an illustration of a Jellybeam on the storefront sign of a fish shop in [[Toad Town]].
