They first appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they would either patrol an area or wait in place, with both [[jump]]ing up towards the player when they pass over them. Walking Piranhas can hop around, making it more difficult for the player to land safely, since the plants will harm the player if they attempt to stomp on one. Instead, Walking Piranhas can be defeated by [[Invincible Mario|invincibility]], [[Fire Mario]]'s [[fireball]]s, [[Hammer Mario]]'s [[hammer]]s, and [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] and [[Tanooki Mario]]'s tail attack. In subsequent remakes, they were tinted a shade of pink. In all versions, a jumping Walking Piranha is a recolor of two [[Muncher]] frames.

A sessile, [[Fire Nipper Plant|fire-breathing variety]] is encountered at the end of World 7-8, and is the only one in the entirety of the game.

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
[[File:SMBW Petal Meddle Nipper.jpg|thumb|Nipper Plants in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'']]
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]]. They regain the angry eyes from their original sprite.

===''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3''===
[[File:NipperPlant.jpg|thumb|180px|left|A Nipper Plant in ''The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3'' episode "[[Reign Storm]]".]]
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.

In "[[Reign Storm]]", Mario intends to send via Warp Pipe a letter to [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]], in which he prompts her to return to the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. However, a Nipper Plant that was taking shelter inside the Warp Pipe intercepts and eats Mario's letter. The Nipper Plant then travels to [[Bowser|King Koopa]] to inform him about the letter's content.

In "[[A Toadally Magical Adventure]]", [[Larry|Cheatsy Koopa]] uses a [[Magic Wand]] to increase a Nipper Plant's size and sends it to attack Mario. However, the plant lunges at the [[pipe creatures|pipe creature]] that was having Mario in its grip, accidentally releasing Mario. Of note is that Cheatsy only refers to the Nipper Plant as "Piranha Plant".

===''Super Mario Bros. Print World''===
Artwork of Nipper Plants appears in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Print World]]'', but they are incorrectly labeled as Munchers, the similar, but black-colored enemy from ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' (which the poses of the artwork are borrowed from). There is additional artwork of Mario jumping over a Nipper Plant, labeled as "Mario 1".

===''Nintendo Adventure Books''===
[[Wendy|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.

===''Yoshi'' franchise===
[[File:Nipper Plant YIDS artwork.jpg|thumb|x180px|left|The design of a Nipper Plant for ''Yoshi's Island DS'']]
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).

===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
[[File:Chompweed SMRPG.png|thumb|100px|A Chompweed's design for ''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'']]
'''Chompweeds'''<ref>{{cite|language=en-us|date=1996|author=Pelland, Scott, and Kent Miller|title=''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars'' Player's Guide|page=39|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> (also parsed as '''chompweeds''')<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Magazine System'' (UK) Issue 47|language=en-gb|publisher=EMAP|page=91|date=August 1996}}</ref> are enemies in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'' and its [[Super Mario RPG (Nintendo Switch)|remake]]. They appear in the [[Pipe Vault]], and cannot be battled. Rather than fighting the player, they jump up and steal a few [[coin]]s if they get too close. Stolen coins cannot be recovered in the final game, but battle data for them still exists, suggesting that they may have been intended to be standard enemies at one point. Another potential artifact of this is them being among the enemies that can be thrown in the [[Monster Toss]] attack. Aside from this, it also was one of the incorrect answers to [[Dr. Topper]]'s quiz section in [[the Trial Course]], specifically for "What's the first monster you see in the Pipe Vault?" This answer only exists in the English version; it is {{fandom|finalfantasy|Exdeath}} from ''{{wp|Final Fantasy V}}'' in Japanese and Korean, a wild [[Chain Chomp|Chomp]] in Spanish and Italian, a [[Shy Guy]] in Chinese, a [[Wiggler]] in Dutch, and a made-up ''Röhrenfriede'' ("Pipe-peace") in German.

===''Game & Watch Gallery'' series===
Nipper Plants appear in the Modern versions of ''[[Donkey Kong Jr. (New Wide Screen)|Donkey Kong Jr.]]'' in ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'' and ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 4]]''.

===''Mario Kart Arcade GP''===
Some Nipper Plants make background appearances on the right side of [[Bananan Ruins]] in ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]''. They also appear in the courses in the [[Bowser Cup]]. This game marks their first 3D appearance.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
Nipper Plants are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They are identical to the ones that appeared in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. The game also introduces a variety infused with the [[Gloom]] vibe, [[Sad N. Plant]]s.

===''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''===
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]] individually, which he 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. They can also be defeated by throwing a [[Taunt Ball]] at them.

===''Minecraft''===
In the Super Mario Mash-Up Pack in ''[[Minecraft]]'', [[minecraftwiki:Peony|Peonies]] are replaced by a group of Nipper Plants.

===''Mario Tennis Aces''===
[[File:MTA Munchers.jpg|thumb|A Nipper Plant obscured by shadows, behind a toppled column, along with several Munchers in ''Mario Tennis Aces'']]
In ''[[Mario Tennis Aces]]'', two Nipper Plants can be seen bouncing in the background of [[Petey Piranha]]'s battle in the [[Forest Monster]] mission.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
A Nipper Plant appears as a Novice-class Grab-type {{iw|smashwiki|primary spirit}} in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. The [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] can be enhanced to a [[Petey Piranha]] spirit at level 99. The Nipper Plant spirit battle takes place on the {{iw|smashwiki|Battlefield form}} of the [[Super Mario Maker (stage)|Super Mario Maker]] stage and involves eight tiny [[Pac-Man|Pac-Men]]. The spirit can be earned by either winning the battle or purchasing it from {{iw|zeldawiki|Beedle's Tent}} for 500 {{iw|smashwiki|SP}}.

On the [[Palutena's Temple]] stage, Nipper Plants are mentioned briefly by {{iw|icaruspedia|Viridi}} during [[Smash Taunt#Palutena's Guidance|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for Piranha Plant.

===''Paper Mario: The Origami King''===
[[File:OrigamiNipperPlant.jpg|thumb|100px|An origami Nipper Plant]]
Nipper Plants appear as enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. In battle, Nipper Plants face either straight or upwards, and attack by biting Mario either solo or with a barrage of bites. If Nipper Plants are facing upwards, they cannot be jumped on without a type of [[Iron Boots]]. Nipper Plants are first fought in the purple streamer area, and reappear in the [[Spring of Jungle Mist]].

Nipper Plants are mentioned to spit fire in the [[Musée Champignon]] description for them, although this does not happen in-game. The code for Nipper Plants does allow them to use a fire attack, but the attack itself has no data, so it is never used.

===''WarioWare: Get It Together!''===
[[File:WWGIT 9-Volt House.jpg|thumb|left|Nipper Plants on the far right of the house in ''WarioWare: Get It Together!'']]
Nipper Plants are background elements in ''[[WarioWare: Get It Together!]]''. They appear outside of [[9-Volt's House]] during the opening cutscene of [[9-Volt]]'s level.

===Unused appearances===
====''Super Mario World''====
A 2017 interview reveals that Nipper Plants were going to appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', as shown in a prototype sprite sheet.<ref>{{cite|author=Wawro, A|date=September 28, 2017|url=www.gamedeveloper.com/art/have-a-look-at-nintendo-s-early-prototype-for-yoshi|title=Have a look at Nintendo's early prototype for Yoshi|publisher=Game Developer|accessdate=August 8, 2024}}</ref>
