In ''Super Mario Galaxy'', Jammyfish are found in underground lakes in the [[Bigmouth Galaxy]] and [[Deep Dark Galaxy]]. Schools made up of four Jammyfish swim in vertical rings. Isolated Jammyfish passively suspend themselves in water and pulsate their bodies. Direct contact depletes one wedge from Mario's [[Health Meter#Super Mario Galaxy / Super Mario Galaxy 2|Life Meter]].
