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 appear in [[World 3-5 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 3-5]] and [[World 7-4 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 7-4]] of ''Super Mario Bros. 3''. In World 3-5, they are spread throughout the level, while in World 7-4, a large swarm of them can be found in the middle of the autoscrolling level. Much like [[Muncher]]s, they are damaging, animated scenery tiles, and thus act as an indestructible solid surface.


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

Super Mario series[edit]

Super Mario Bros. 3 / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3[edit]

Jelectros appear in Super Mario Bros. 3. Jelectros are invincible to all attacks, even Invincible Mario and hammers. Jelectros are first encountered in World 3-5, being spread throughout, while in World 7-4, a large swarm of them is encountered in the middle of the level. Jelectros are like Munchers 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[edit]

Jelectros are course elements in Super Mario Maker, its Nintendo 3DS version, and Super Mario Maker 2. They replace the Spike Traps 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.
