In a medium bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over 1 cup of water and let it bloom for 5 minutes until the mixture becomes spongy.
In a medium saucepan, combine the mango juice, pineapple juice, passion fruit juice, and granulated sugar. Stir the mixture over medium heat until the sugar dissolves completely, about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to low and add the bloomed gelatin to the juice mixture. Whisk continuously until the gelatin is fully dissolved and the mixture is smooth, about 3-4 minutes. Do not let the mixture boil.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the freshly squeezed lime juice.
Lightly grease a 9x9-inch pan or any shallow dish with a neutral oil to prevent sticking. Pour the fruit jelly mixture into the pan, smoothing the surface with a spatula if needed.
Allow the jelly to cool to room temperature, then transfer it to the refrigerator to set completely, at least 4-6 hours or overnight.
Once set, gently loosen the edges with a sharp knife and invert the jelly onto a clean cutting board. Use a sharp knife or small cookie cutters to cut the jelly into bite-sized squares or fun shapes.
If desired, combine the cornstarch and powdered sugar in a small bowl and lightly dust the jelly shapes to prevent sticking.
Store the tropical fruit jellies in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Serve chilled and enjoy!
