'''Kurako''' are a [[List of species|species]] in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]]. During the events, a total of three of these humanoid species of jellyfish appear in [[Gwarhar Lagoon]], and one in [[Beanbean Fields]]. They include the [[Jellyfish Sisters]], Gigi and Merri, and two children. One of the children is a girl dressed in a red bow and a dress, and acts as a receptionist to the Jellyfish Sisters' [[Relaxation Room]]. Their faces are a bright, light purple, which was changed to a blackish-blue in the remake. The name "kurako" comes from the Japanese word ''kurage'', which means "jellyfish."

The other child is a boy dressed in red swimming trunks, identified as '''Kurata'''. He is encountered on the Beanbean Fields coastline, near a [[Surfing Spot]] on the edge of [[Oho Ocean]]. When spoken to, he recommends shoving something into the Surfing Spot to turn it into a [[surfboard]], hinting that this may be done by having [[Mario]] [[hammer]] [[Luigi]] into it using the [[Dunk Hammer]].

In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' mode introduces another child, a girl with a purple bow and dress, who acts as an announcer and judge for [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]]'s "Cutie Battle Contest".
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', the ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' mode introduces a fifth child, a girl with a purple bow and dress, who acts as an announcer and judge for [[Wendy O. Koopa|Wendy]]'s "Cutie Battle Contest".

In the original [[Game Boy Advance]] title, their faces are a bright, light purple, and in the [[Nintendo 3DS]] remake, their faces are a blackish-blue.
 
As Japanese names ending in "-''ko''" and "-''ta''" are feminine and masculine, respectively, the names appear to be gendered, while the "''kura''-" part is derived from「{{ruby|海月|くらげ}}」(''kurage'', jellyfish).
