'''Deku Babas''' are a crossover species from [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]]. They attack the player character by lunging at them from a fixed spot, a behavior displayed in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', where they prominently appear with [[Super Mario (franchise)|''Super Mario'']] characters. Deku Babas are a {{wp|Venus flytrap}}–like species, like [[Piranha Plant]]s, although [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] has once mentioned that Deku Babas were designed by crossing a dog with the ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' enemy [[clam]];<ref>{{cite|author=IGN Staff|date=December 2, 1997|url=www.ign.com/articles/1997/12/03/the-z-files-2|title=The Z-Files|publisher=IGN|accessdate=July 2, 2024}}</ref> their original behavior of lunging while being restrained by their stem is highly similar to [[Chain Chomp]]s, also inspired by dogs, while their original model's head shape resembles a more cylindrical, front-tapering version of the clam's model.
'''Deku Babas''' are carnivorous plant enemies from [[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda (Series)|''The Legend of Zelda'' series]] which have first appeared in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time]]''. Deku Babas have made a few ''[[Mario (franchise)|Mario]]''-related appearances, their first being a cameo in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'' and later a guest appearance in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]''{{'}}s ''[[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8]]'' downloadable pack and the base game for ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''.
==History==
===''Super Smash Bros. Brawl''===
A collectible [[sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] depicting a Deku Baba in its appearance from ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time}}'' appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''. In [[Super Smash Bros. Brawl#The Subspace Emissary|The Subspace Emissary]], it can be applied to any fighter to increase the amount of damage they can deal with their arm- and leg-based attacks.


===''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''===
Deku Babas are a {{wp|venus flytrap}}-like species, like [[Piranha Plant]]s, although [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] has once mentioned that Deku Babas were designed by crossing a dog with the ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' enemy [[Clam]].<ref>IGN Staff (December 2, 1997). [https://www.ign.com/articles/1997/12/03/the-z-files-2 The Z-Files]. Retrieved April 23, 2022.</ref>
Deku Babas are obstacles in ''Mario Kart 8''{{'}}s ''[[The Legend of Zelda x Mario Kart 8]]'' downloadable pack and the base game of ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''. Here, two Deku Babas appear as enemies in a section of [[Hyrule Circuit]], after the exit of {{iw|zeldawiki|Hyrule Castle}} near the end of the course; they are designed after their appearance in ''{{iw|zeldawiki|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword}}'', and they behave the same as Piranha Plants do in {{classic link|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}}. If a racer drives near a Deku Baba, it lunges at them, attempting to bite them, knocking them over should they be hit. The Deku Babas periodically switch between four different positions.


==Profiles==
In ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', a few Deku Babas are featured as an obstacle in a section of [[Hyrule Circuit]], right after exiting [[zeldawiki:Hyrule Castle|Hyrule Castle]]. Deku Babas are designed after their appearance in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]'', and they behave the same as Piranha Plants do in {{classic-link|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}}. If a racer drives near a Deku Baba, it lunges at them, attempting to bite them. If the racer is hit, they get knocked over and are therefore slowed temporarily.
