Nipper Plants return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', this time with the ability to walk on walls and ceilings. They no longer jump towards the players when they pass over them, however. Nipper Plants are featured prominently in [[Muncher Fields]].
Following a 35-year absence in the [[Super Mario (series)|''Super Mario'' series]] (the longest gap between appearances for an enemy in the series to date), Nipper Plants return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. This time, they are able to walk on walls and ceilings; they no longer jump towards the players when they pass over them, however.

Nipper Plants make a few appearances in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In these appearances, they behave much like their game counterparts in that they are capable of hopping around. On the show, Nipper Plants sport visible jaws that make them appear to be more menacing than their in-game counterparts.

[[Wendy O. Koopa]] is revealed to have a pet Nipper Plant, which she keeps in a pot in her room, in ''[[Koopa Capers]]''; the plant had shredded a note possibly pertaining to her whereabouts. If Luigi chooses to begin his search for the missing [[Koopalings|Koopaling]] by looking through her room, he accidentally wakes up the sleeping Nipper Plant when he tries to look under it. Some wild Nipper Plants later appear prowling the stairs leading up to the secret camp being used by Wendy and her rebellion.

Nipper Plants are enemies in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]. They do not jump at the player and are much easier to defeat, but they appear in groups which adds to the challenge of defeating them. This is the first game to show Nipper Plants to hatch from [[Nipper Spore]]s upon touching the ground, as well as to show them without eyes. These Nipper Plants can be stomped or eaten and turned into eggs; their spores can also be swallowed, though no eggs will be produced as a result. Nipper Plants appear in both sequels, ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', behaving the same as before; the former game introduces a relative to Nipper Plants, the [[Nipper Dandelion]].


Outside of the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]], Nipper Plants are also enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', its [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|Nintendo 3DS version]], and ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', retaining their behavior from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. However, in ''Yoshi's Story'', if the Nipper Spore is eaten, a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] will lose health (except for the Black Yoshi and the White Yoshi).

In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its Game Boy Advance version]], Nipper Plants do not jump at the player and are much easier to defeat, but they appear in groups which adds to the challenge of defeating them. They hatch from [[Nipper Spore]]s that slowly fall to earth and have no visible eyes. These Nipper Plants can be stomped or eaten and turned into eggs; their spores can also be swallowed, though no eggs will be produced as a result.
 
====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
Nipper Plants and Nipper Spores return in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', retaining their behavior in its predecessor. A new relative is also introduced: the [[Nipper Dandelion]].
 
====''Yoshi's New Island''====
Nipper Plants and their spore relatives return in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', retaining their behavior in the previous ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' games. This is the first ''[[Yoshi (franchise)|Yoshi]]'' game where they appear with eyes, and the only ''Yoshi's Island'' game with this distinction. Unlike their mainline appearance, they do not have angry eyes.

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. They can also be defeated by throwing a [[Taunt Ball]] at them.
