In ''Super Mario Bros. 2'', they 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, entering certain jars within [[Subspace]] will allow the player to warp to a further [[world]], acting as the [[Warp Zone]]s of ''Super Mario Bros. 2''. [[Magical Potion]]s will not work inside jars though. [[Cobrat]]s sometimes lurk in the opening of some jars. Certain jars generate endless streams of enemies like [[Bob-omb|Bob-Omb]]s or red [[Shy Guy|Shyguy]]s unless their entrances are blocked.

Jars appear in two sizes throughout the [[Shy Guy Bazaar]] course in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. They are depicted with a green hue, full lower diamond shapes, no horizontal lines, and a lid covering the top. The large version is decorative, but the small version, known as '''snake jars''', appears as an obstacle. If driven into, they break and some items will fly out, namely [[banana]]s. Some of them can also walk and move around, and they reveal many [[Cobrat]]s when broken.
Pots appear in various levels in ''[[Princess Peach: Showtime!]]'', most commonly in the [[Ninja Peach]], [[Kung Fu Peach]] and [[Swordfighter Peach]] levels. If Peach breaks the pots, they can either be empty or contain [[coin]]s, [[Sparkle Gem]]s or the [[Ribboner]].

History[edit]

Super Mario series[edit]

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

Jar

Jars in Yume Kōjō: Doki Doki Panic and Super Mario Bros. 2 are the main modes of transportation of Subcon, and if a character goes down a jar, they will appear in a small room sometimes containing a key being protected by a Phanto. Jars in certain levels within Subspace contain a Subspace Warp that warps the player character to a certain later world. A door from a Magical Potion cannot be spawned inside of a jar. 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[edit]

Jars in BS Super Mario USA are used identically as in Super Mario Bros. 2, except jars in Subspace lead to a battle against Wart.

Super Mario Sunshine[edit]

Jars[11] in Super Mario Sunshine appear a hidden room in Noki Bay, underneath Gooper Blooper's boss arena, and one of the two largest jars releases a blue coin when sprayed at.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Jars in the Super Smash Bros. series appear in the background of the Mushroom Kingdom II stage in Super Smash Bros. Melee and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

Mario Pinball Land[edit]

Jars in Mario Pinball Land appear on the first pyramid interior board of the Shifting Sands Stage. There are four jars, which 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.

Princess Peach: Showtime![edit]

Pots appear in various levels in Princess Peach: Showtime!, most commonly in the Ninja Peach, Kung Fu Peach and Swordfighter Peach levels. If Peach breaks the pots, they can either be empty or contain coins, Sparkle Gems or the Ribboner.

In Ninjutsu: The Art of Rapids the Ribboner has ended up in a pot on purpose, claiming he has mastered the "ancient ninja art: the pot-hide technique." On all later occasions where he has ended up in or behind pots he has done so by accident and wants to be rescued by Peach.

Certain sections in the Kung Fu Peach levels have a specific subcategory of the Sour Bunch who throw pots at Peach, which damages her if they hit her, and in Kung Fu Rehearsal a pot hit on Peach will instantly end the level.
