History

Super Mario series

Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic / Super Mario Bros. 2 / Super Mario Advance

Jar

In Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2, jars are the main modes of transportation of Subcon; if a character goes down a jar, they will appear in a small room sometimes containing a key being protected by a Phanto. In some levels, certain jars within Subspace contain a Subspace Warp that allows the player to warp to a further world, acting as the Warp Zones of Super Mario Bros. 2. Magical Potions do not work inside jars, though. Cobrats sometimes lurk in the openings of some jars. Certain jars are Shy Guy Generators[9] and Bob-Omb Generators,[10] which generate endless streams of red Shyguys or Bob-Ombs, respectively, unless their entrances are blocked. In Super Mario Advance, some jars also contain Sparks and Spark Chasers, as well as (sometimes Shyguy-ridden) Ferris wheel platforms, and one contains a bouncing blade; jars were also added to levels in that version, and certain closed-off jars in previous versions were opened.

BS Super Mario USA

Jars also appear in the pseudo-sequel, BS Super Mario USA, and can be used in the same way as in Super Mario Bros. 2. In Subspace, jars lead Mario to Wart in order to battle him.

Super Mario Sunshine

Jars[11] appear in a hidden room in Noki Bay, underneath Gooper Blooper's boss arena. Spraying water into one of the two largest jars makes it release a blue coin.

Super Smash Bros. series

Mushroom Kingdom II in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.
Mushroom Kingdom II in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Jars made a small appearance in the background of the Super Smash Bros. Melee stage Mushroom Kingdom II, which also took place in Subcon. As the stage returns in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, the jars there also return.

Mario Pinball Land

Four jars appear on the first pyramid interior board of the Shifting Sands Stage in Mario Pinball Land. In this appearance, they have earthy colors and diamond shapes on their pattern. They cannot be interacted with as their corners are elevated, but Snakes come out of them if the middle floor panel is activated.
