==History==
==='' Super Mario Bros. 3''===
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', only one appears in the entire game, near the end of [[World 7-8 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 7-8]]. Once it spots [[Mario]], it attacks him by spitting fireballs similar to [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]]s, though a Fiery Walking Piranha can shoot up to four fireballs at once.

===''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''===
These enemies, now referred to as "'''Nipper Plants'''", 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 Nipper Plant. 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.

Occasionally, a Piranha Plant will spit a fireball towards the Nipper Plant, who will bounce the fireball about until each Nipper Plant has touched the fireball at some point, where the last Nipper Plant 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 Nipper Plants are defeated when the Piranha Plant that spawned them is defeated.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', these 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 set to Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese or Korean, its name is subtitled as Fire Nipper Plant in English.<ref name=Guidance/>

===''Paper Mario: The Origami King''===
In ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', regular Nipper Plants are mentioned to spit fire in the [[Musée Champignon]] description for them, although they do not actually spit fire.
