A '''Jumping Piranha Plant''' (alternatively '''Jumpin' Piranha Plant''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Super Mario World'' instruction booklet|language=en|page=21|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=1991}}</ref> misspelled as '''Jumping Pirhana Plant''' in the ''[[Super Mario World]]'' ending sequence) is a variant of [[Piranha Plant]] that is not rooted to the ground. It has a set of leaves arranged like a propeller, which it uses to leap ahead, then slowly return towards its original position.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario World''====
[[File:JumpPiranhaPlant_SMW.png|120px|thumb]]
Jumping Piranha Plants made their debut in ''Super Mario World'' as the most frequent Piranha Plant enemies in the game. Most of them live in [[Warp Pipe]]s, but some can be found hiding in bushes. Their propeller-like stems enable them to fly up quickly out of their spots and descend slowly back in, damaging [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] at direct contact. However, the playable characters can [[Spin Jump|spin-jump]] on them without getting harmed, although this does not inflict damage on the enemies either. A Jumping Piranha Plant can be defeated by shooting a [[fireball]] at it while in [[Fire Mario|Fire form]], whipping it while in [[Cape Mario|Caped form]], or touching it while [[Invincible Mario|invincible]].

A fire-breathing variant of Jumping Piranha Plant called [[Jumping Fire Piranha Plant]]s also appears in the game.

After the [[Special Zone]] is completed, Jumping Piranha Plants turn into '''Jumping Pumpkin Plants''' (also named '''Pumpkin Plants'''),<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 28|page=11|date=September 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en}}</ref> which look like jack-o'-lanterns. However, they function exactly the same. Prototype assets of ''Super Mario World'' show that Jumping Piranha Plants had alternate [[Fall]]-themed graphics resembling a [[Fire Flower]] with Mario's face.<ref>{{cite|author=Frieze|date=July 24, 2020|url=x.com/IsoFrieze/status/1286751053623459842|title=Post featuring prototype ''Super Mario World'' assets|publisher=X|accessdate=July 25, 2020|archive=web.archive.org/web/20210111083918/https://twitter.com/IsoFrieze/status/1286751053623459842}}</ref>

In western instruction booklets of ''Super Mario World'', the Jumping Piranha Plant is described as a tropical version of the "Volcano Plant" (likely referring to [[Volcano Lotus]]);<ref name=SMWEN/><ref name="SMW NL, FR"/> however, the Japanese instruction booklet correctly refers to it as a Pakkun Flower (Piranha Plant).

====''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Jumping Piranha Plants return in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They appear only in [[World-e]]'s [[e-Reader]] accessible level [[Ground Work]]. The Jumping Piranha Plants behave exactly as they do in ''Super Mario World''. They also look like they did in that game, though they have ''Super Mario Bros. 3''{{'}}s original Piranha Plant species' heads instead.

====''Super Mario Maker'' series====
Jumping Piranha Plants appear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]'', and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. They are available only in the ''Super Mario World'' style, replacing regular Piranha Plants. When shaken, however, they turn into [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s instead of [[Jumping Fire Piranha Plant]]s.

Jumping Piranha Plants behave just like in ''Super Mario World'' when placed inside Warp Pipes. When placed outside one, they first make contact with the ground or on a platform underneath them if needed, then make several short bounces before jumping up to attack. They can be enlarged in the level editor by dragging a [[Super Mushroom]] onto them. Putting [[wings]] on a Jumping Piranha Plant enables it to leap higher and hover for a short while before descending down. 

Unlike ''Super Mario World'', they cannot be hidden behind bushes.

===''Super Mario Adventures''===
Jumping Piranha Plants make an appearance in ''[[Super Mario Adventures]]'', being the first creature sent by Bowser to attack [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]'s [[Peach's Castle|palace]] by biting Mario's nose.

===''Super Mario Party''===
In ''[[Super Mario Party]]'', a Jumping Piranha Plant, referred to as a Piranha Plant in this game, appears as the 21st level in the [[Rec Room]] minigame [[Puzzle Hustle]], being based upon its ''Super Mario World'' sprite.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Piranha Plant's up special, [[Piranhacopter]], allows it to fly by spinning its stem like a propeller in a similar fashion to a Jumping Piranha Plant.<ref>{{cite|author=GameXplain|date=November 1, 2018|url=youtu.be/myXVo16Xo3k?t=55|title=Piranha Plant in ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate'' - Reveal Trailer (Petey Piranha Final Smash!)|publisher=YouTube|accessdate=November 1, 2018}}</ref> On [[Palutena's Temple]], Jumping Piranha Plants are mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] during [[Smash Taunt#Palutena's Guidance|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for Piranha Plant.

===''Paper Mario: The Origami King''===
Jumping Piranha Plants return in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]'', now able to breathe fire like their fiery variants, and are found in the [[Spring of Jungle Mist]]. They can also attack Mario with Bite and Bite Barrage similarly to other Piranha Plant variants in the game. Also like them, they cannot be jumped on unless Mario uses the [[Iron Boots]] or their variants.

===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
Jumping Piranha Plants reappear in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]'' in levels 1 and 2 of the [[Super Mario World (WarioWare: Get It Together!)|Super Mario World]] microgame.
