In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its enhanced port]], Nipper Spores are first encountered in [[The Cave Of Chomp Rock]]. They descend slowly from a certain height to the ground. Simply touching one will cause [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] to drop [[Baby Mario]] off his back. Upon coming into contact with the ground, they transform into a Nipper Plant, which starts walking right away. Yoshi will swallow a Nipper Spore directly upon eating it, without producing an [[Yoshi Egg|egg]]. He will lick his lips directly after doing so.

In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Nipper Spores have spikes on them. They are also foul tasting, meaning that they will hurt any Yoshi (except for the Black and White Yoshi) that attempts to eat them.

In ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', Nipper Spores are first present in the level [[Sponge Cave Spelunking]], where they act the same as in the ''[[Yoshi's Island (series)|Yoshi's Island]]'' series. [[Nipper Spore Patch]]es are sometimes encountered in large blocks of wool that can be unwoven; they behave identically to a regular Nipper Spore.
 
====''Yoshi's Crafted World''====
Nipper Spores reappeared in the course [[Jumping to Victory]] of ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. Their design and behavior remain unchanged from previous games.

Nipper Spores also appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]'', where [[Piranha Plant]]s in battle spit them out into the background to create [[Nipper Plant]]s.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros.

Unlike most other variations generally mentioned in order of appearance, they are listed amongst ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' debuts. [[Big Piranha Plant|Big Piranha]]s, [[Big Fire Piranha]]s, [[Small Piranha]]s, and [[Fire Stalking Piranha Plant|Fire Stalking Piranha]]s are similarly listed out of order.
