==History==
==History==
==='' Super Mario Bros. 3''===
==='' Super Mario Bros. 3''===
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', only one Fiery Walking Piranha appears in the entire game, near the end of [[World 7-8 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 7-8]]. It stays in place, and when [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] approaches, it attacks him by spitting [[fireball]]s that arc in his direction. It acts similarly to a red [[Panser]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', though a Fiery Walking Piranha can shoot up to four fireballs at once instead of two.  
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', they only appear in [[Pipe Land]], in World 7-8. Once they spot [[Mario]] they will attack him by spitting fireballs similar to [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s, though a Fiery Walking Piranha can shoot up to four fireballs at once. They are extremely rare since only one appears in the entire game.


===''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''===  
===''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''===
Although they are never explicitly called Fire Nipper Plants, regular Nipper Plants are depicted as being able to breath fire in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''.

Fiery Walking Piranhas appear as background enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. In battle, a [[Piranha Plant]] may spit out [[Nipper Spore]]s into the background, each one instantly becoming a Fiery Walking Piranha. Once created, they shoot fireballs at [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]] individually, which they must deflect with his hammer to avoid taking damage and to also randomly hit the Piranha Plants in the process.
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Fire Nipper Plants are mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] in the Japanese [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Piranha Plant]]. They are not mentioned at all in the English version; however, when the game is set to Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, or Korean, the subtitles include the name Fire Nipper Plant in English.<ref name=Guidance/>


Occasionally, a Piranha Plant will spit a fireball towards the Fiery Walking Piranhas, who will bounce the fireball about until each  Fiery Walking Piranha has touched the fireball at some point, where the last Fiery Walking Piranha to touch it sends the fireball towards Mario, who must [[hammer]] it back at the Piranha Plant who created it to counter-attack and avoid taking damage. The Fiery Walking Piranhas are defeated when the Piranha Plant that spawned them is defeated.
