{{transcript|This lovely floating critter sucks up food by stretching and contracting its body. It's hard to imagine such a graceful creature could be of this world. It would be rather exciting to get sucked in with all the treasures and Pikmin to float on forever. But if that really happened, I wouldn't be of this world for long either!|block=y}}

=== Olimar's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|Vivid pink coloration is the most noticeable characteristic of this floating life-form.  This invasive species is not native to the region, having appeared to have recently arrived on wind currents.
 
The luminescent organs atop its head attract prey, which it then sucks up and consumes with its lower orifice.  Unlike jellyfish, the Jellyfloat's tentacles do not have nematocysts, so there is no danger in touching them.|block=y}}
 
=== Louie's notes (''Pikmin 4'') ===
{{transcript|Like a fine cheese, the aroma of this fluid floater can be oppressive, but its flavor must be experienced to be believed. Also makes an unforgettable nondairy spread!|block=y}}

In ''Pikmin 2''. the Greater Spotted Jellyfloat is a large target and therefore can easily be hit with [[Purple Pikmin]]. Just one of them will bring the creature to the ground; 6 Pikmin will be needed, otherwise. Once on the ground, the player should either continue to throw Purple Pikmin at it, provided they have enough, or swarm it with a squad of considerable size. Both ways will ensure a quick defeat.

In ''Pikmin 4'', Greater Spotted Jellyfloats are much more dangerous. They can not be weighed down, and kill Pikmin much faster. Any non yellow Pikmin will latch onto the tentacles, where they can be inhaled, excluding Purple Pikmin. As Yellow Pikmin are not usually brought to any caves that contain these Jellyfloats, fighting them will usually be a pain, as they are also quite sensitive to damage, and will shake Pikmin off quickly. Winged Pikmin (who are useful in the [[Ultimate Testing Range]], where a few of these Jellyfloats can be encountered.) can also be used to attack the main body, though due to their low attack power, it's not a fast process without the use of [[Ultra-spicy spray]]. Much like the Lesser Spotted Jellyfloat, it can be defeated instantly when [[Ice Pikmin]] freeze it, due to its gelatinous body crashing into the floor when frozen. Like in ''Pikmin 2'' [[Purple Pikmin]] are still an option, however, due to their lowered throw height and the incresed floating height of the Jellyfloat, it is much more difficult to hit it with Purple Pikmin. In exchange, Purple Pikmin do particularly massive damage when latching onto these beasts, all it takes is to find a single opening where the Jellyfloat lowers down and Purple Pikmin can quickly cause its demise. If you happen to miss, it doesn't matter much since Purple Pikmin are immune to the creature's sucking attack. Another option is [[Rock Pikmin]], who are thrown higher than Purple Pikmin and do not mind the enemy's frequent shaking, since they don't latch on anyway. A small squad Rock Pikmin can quickly and easily defeat the beast within a few consectutive throws. Or, if you just give up, throw 3 [[Ice Pikmin]] at it and wait for it to eat them.

An alternate method is possible with only leaders in ''Pikmin 2''. Have the Greater Spotted Jellyfloat absorb one leader, and then switch to the other leader and use an ultra-bitter spray to petrify the Jellyfloat. Switch back to the leader who is currently swallowed, and wiggle the Control Stick to break free. The Jellyfloat will be defeated. It's possible to do this with a single leader by spraying it as he is being sucked in, but this is very difficult.{{cite web|https://clips.twitch.tv/LazyTolerantTurtleBlargNaut|The Devs Thought of Everything|Twitch.tv}}
