The head of a Piranha Plant is most commonly either red or green with multiple other colors. Piranha Plants originally appeared only in [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s, emerging from them with a biting animation, but have also been encountered outside of them since. Piranha Plants can talk in some appearances. Certain Piranha Plants have animal-like bodies, most noticeably their leader [[Petey Piranha]], making them capable of walking.
==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''Super Mario Bros.''====
[[File:Piranha Plant SMB.png|thumb|100px|Artwork from ''Super Mario Bros.'', their debut appearance]]
{{multiframe|[[File:PiranhaPlant SMB Sprite.gif]] [[File:SMB Piranha Plant Underground Sprite.gif]]|Sprites from ''Super Mario Bros.'' depicting Piranha Plants in the overworld and underground each|align=left|size=120}}
Piranha Plants appear in ''Super Mario Bros.'' They are first encountered in [[World 1-2 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 1-2]]. Piranha were supposed to appear in every vertical pipe beyond the [[World 1-1 (Super Mario Bros.)|first level]], but a [[glitch]] prevents them from appearing in every one, like in [[World 8-4 (Super Mario Bros.)|World 8-4]], where the water tiles overlap the Piranha Plant in the original version only; if the Piranha Plant had been visible, the underwater palette would have rendered it gray. Piranha Plants do not emerge from pipes if the player character stands either adjacent to or on top of them, not unlike [[Bill Blaster|Turtle Cannons]]. Piranha Plants can be defeated only from either a [[fireball]] or the effects of a [[Super Star|Starman]]. Piranha Plants do not flip upside-down when defeated, unlike other enemies except [[Buzzy Beetle]]s. Piranha Plants emerge from pipes in [[Warp Zone]]s but vanish the instant that "WELCOME TO WARP ZONE!" appears onscreen.<ref>{{cite|url=youtu.be/WF3irlcoU38?feature=shared&t=35|title=''Super Mario Bros.'' - All Warp Locations|language=en|author=ShyGuyStation|timestamp=0:35|publisher=YouTube|date=May 28, 2017}}</ref> Piranha Plants emerge from the last pipe at the end of every level taking place mostly underground or underwater.
{{br}}
====''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels''====
[[File:SMBLL Mushroom Kingdom Artwork.png|thumb|Artwork from ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'', the first appearance of red Piranha Plants, which would become their standard color since ''Super Mario World'']]
[[File:SMBLL Red Piranha Plant.png|frame|left]]
Piranha Plants return in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. The normal type is encountered in the first three worlds, but levels from [[World 4-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 4-1]] onward replace them with the red type. The red variation is faster and still emerges from its pipe if the player character stands by it, but not if they are on top. There are Piranha Plants that emerge from upside-down pipes, and they are first encountered in [[World 5-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 5-1]]. There are Piranha Plants encountered underwater in [[World 9-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9-1]] and [[World 9-2 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9-2]]. Piranha Plants in ''[[All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros.]]'' were cosmetically altered to become Pakkun Okapī.
{{br|left}}

====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
Piranha Plants appear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. They return in red and green varieties, but the only difference is that red Piranha Plants have an additional layer of leaves. Piranha Plants behave similarly as before, though Koopa shells, [[hammer]]s, and the tail of [[Raccoon Mario]] or [[Tanooki Mario]] are additional ways to defeat them. A few variants make their first appearance, including [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]]s, [[Big Piranha Plant|Piranhacus Giganticus]], [[Ptooie]]s, [[Nipper Plant|Walking Piranha]]s, and [[Muncher]]s. The Piranha Plants that move in and out of upside-down pipes are named '''Hanging Piranha Plant'''.<ref>{{cite|author=Tilden, Gail, et al.|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13|page=9|date=June 1990|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America}}</ref> Some red Piranha Plants emerge from horizontal pipes but have only one set of leaves. The [[Kings|king]] of [[Pipe Land]] is transformed into a Piranha Plant in the [[Family Computer]] and [[Nintendo Entertainment System]] version only. An upside-down variant of the Piranha Plant with a red head and one layer of green leaves appears in the [[World-e]] levels [[Piped Full of Plants]] and [[Treacherous Halls]] in ''[[Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

====''Super Mario Land''====
'''Pakkun Flowers''',<ref name=land>{{cite|title=''Super Mario Land'' instruction booklet|page=13|date=1989|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref><ref name=NintendoPower>{{cite|date=1991|title=Nintendo ''Game Boy'' Player's Guide|page=5|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> or '''Pakkun''',<ref>{{cite|author=Hamm & Rudolf GmbH, Frankfurt|title=''Super Game Boy'' Player's Guide|page=19|date=1994|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> return in ''[[Super Mario Land]]''. '''Upside Down (Headstand) Pakkun''',<ref name=land/> also named '''Reverse Pakkun'''<ref name=NintendoPower/> or '''Upside-down Piranha Plant''',<ref>{{cite|url=www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/land/?lang=en|title=English ''Super Mario Land'' entry on the official Mario Portal|publisher=nintendo.co.jp|language=en|archive=archive.is/2022.08.13-142305/https://www.nintendo.co.jp/character/mario/archives/land/?lang=en}}</ref> which gives 400 points when defeated. The digital manual of the [[Virtual Console#Nintendo 3DS|Virtual Console]] port rectifies their name to Piranha Plants.

====''Super Mario World''====
Piranha Plants return in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. From this game forward, red has become the standard color of all Piranha Plants, and the green ones appear only at the end of a growing [[beanstalk]]. Besides Munchers returning, another variant was added, [[Jumping Piranha Plant]], which are significantly more common. The regular Piranha Plant, also known as '''Piranha in a Pipe''',<ref>{{cite|title=Nintendo ''[[Mario Mania]]'' Player's Guide|page=51|date=August 1991|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us}}</ref> appears only in [[Vanilla Dome 3]], where all eight emerge from upside-down pipes. Unlike before, Piranha Plants retreat into their pipe whenever the player character is nearby. Piranha Plants are defeated from either a fireball, a shell, being hit by a [[cape]], or being eaten by [[Yoshi]].

[[File:SMWbetaplant.gif|frame|left]]
An upward-facing Piranha Plant [[List of Super Mario World pre-release and unused content|was scrapped]] during development. The graphics of the right-side-up stem were overwritten by an upside-down red [[Cheep Cheep]].
{{br|left}}
====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
Piranha Plants return in ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]''. They are no different from before. Besides the returning [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]]s, the game adds [[Piranha Plant (statue)|Piranha Plant statues]], which sometimes attack by shooting balls of fire.

====''Super Mario 64'' / ''Super Mario 64 DS''====
[[File:PiranhaPlant SM64.png|thumb|left|180px|The design of a Piranha Plant used for ''Super Mario 64'']]
Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''. They are depicted with green lips in the original version, later changed to white in remakes. Piranha Plants appear only in [[Whomp's Fortress]], as well as in [[Goomboss Battle]] and [[Sunshine Isles]] in the remake. Three Piranha Plants are included in an additional area of Whomp's Fortress in the remake, but they are different in that they emerge from the grass when approached. Piranha Plants have a sleepy nature,<ref>{{cite|author=Sign|date=1996|title=''Super Mario 64''|quote=I'm sleeping because... I'm sleepy. I don't like being disturbed. Please walk quietly.|publisher=Nintendo|language=en}}</ref> which is why they are always found asleep, but [[Piranha Plant#Media|a lullaby]] plays during this. When a Piranha Plant is either touched or approached quickly by the player character, it wakes up and starts to bite in the direction of the player character, though they stay asleep if approached quickly. Piranha Plants take away three health points if they bite the player character, or four if he is without his [[cap]] (excluding Yoshi in the remake). Besides Piranha Plants, there are [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]]s, including [[Small Piranha|small]] and [[Big Fire Piranha|large]] versions encountered mainly in [[Tiny-Huge Island]]. Piranha Plants can be defeated mainly from being [[punch]]ed or [[Ground Pound|ground-pounded]] while asleep, or from one of [[Yoshi's Egg]]s in the remake. A defeated Piranha Plant shrinks as pink bubbles fly out from its body, and releases a [[Blue Coin]] as a spoil.

====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
Piranha Plants, also called Pakkun Flowers,<ref>{{cite|author=Bogenn, Tim, and Doug Walsh|title=''Super Mario Sunshine'' BradyGames Official Strategy Guide|page=5|date=2002|language=en-us|isbn=0-7440-0180-3|publisher=BradyGAMES}}</ref> appear in ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]''. They are depicted after their appearance from ''Super Mario 64'', since their lips are green, but they lack teeth. Piranha Plants are encountered only in [[Bianco Hills]]. They pop out of the ground and spit black, white-spotted projectiles to attack [[Mario]]. A Piranha Plant is defeated if enough water from [[F.L.U.D.D.|FLUDD]] is sprayed into its body until it blows up. Various Piranha Plant members make their debut, including the recurring mini-boss [[Proto Piranha]], the boss and future recurring character [[Petey Piranha]], and enemies named [[Piranhabon]]s.

====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Piranha Plants appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' They retain their attack pattern introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', but with an added chomping sound effect. Some Piranha Plants appear in the ground, as well as on conveyor belts, which move them around. Two Piranha Plant varieties return, including [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]]s and [[Big Piranha Plant|Super Piranha Plant]]s.

====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:SMG Piranha Plant Artwork.png|thumb|Artwork from ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
Piranha Plants return in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They attack by trying to bite the player character. A Piranha Plant is defeated from either a [[stomp]], a [[spin]], or being touched by [[Rainbow Mario]]. It is stunned temporarily if hit by a [[Star Bit]]. Defeating some Piranha Plants is required so that a [[Sproutle Vine]] can grow in their place. The game adds [[Spiny Piranha Plant]]s, a large, purple variant that slams its head to attack, and the boss [[Dino Piranha]], as well as a black-colored variant of it. 

====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
Piranha Plants return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They no longer have a chomping sound effect, unlike ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Piranha Plants are defeated from an [[Ice Ball]], though Piranha Plants encased in ice cannot be picked up. Piranha Plants cannot hurt a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] if jumped on. Besides the returning [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]]s, [[Big Piranha Plant|Super Piranha Plant]]s, [[Muncher]]s, and [[Big Fire Piranha]]s, the game gives Piranha Plants another two variants, [[Stalking Piranha Plant]]s and [[River Piranha Plant]]s.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
Piranha Plants appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. They behave identically as in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Besides the returning [[Big Piranha Plant|Super Piranha Plant]] and [[Spiny Piranha Plant]], the latter receives a variant named [[Prickly Piranha Plant]]. Both Dino Piranhas also return, and similar boss to them is introduced, [[Peewee Piranha]].

====''Super Mario 3D Land''====
[[File:PiranhaPlantSM3DL.png|thumb|left|x180px|Artwork from ''Super Mario 3D Land'']]
Piranha Plants return in ''[[Super Mario 3D Land]]''. They are modeled after their appearance in ''Super Mario Galaxy'' and its sequel. Besides the returning [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s, the game introduces an ink-spitting variety named [[Inky Piranha Plant]]s.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
Piranha Plants return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They behave like in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. Two Piranha Plant varieties were introduced, [[Bone Piranha Plant]]s and [[Gold Piranha Plant]]s, with Piranha Plants becoming the latter while a [[Gold Ring]] is in effect.

====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
Piranha Plants return in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They are mostly the same, though there are Piranha Plants that hatch from [[Piranha Pod]]s thrown by [[Lakitu]]s in [[Blooming Lakitus]].

====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
Piranha Plants return in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. They are functionally similar to their behavior introduced in ''Super Mario Galaxy''. Besides the returning [[Big Piranha Plant|Mega Piranha Plant]]s, the game introduces [[Potted Piranha Plant]]s, which can be carried around to eat enemies; [[Piranha Creeper]], which have a long spiky stem; and cat variations in ''[[Bowser's Fury]]'' only.

====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS'' / ''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Piranha Plants are course elements in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'', [[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS|its port]], and ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]''. Piranha Plants are in every style except ''Super Mario World'', which has [[Jumping Piranha Plant]]s instead. Several Piranha Plant variations return, including [[Big Piranha Plant]]s, [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s, [[Jumping Piranha Plant]]s, [[Big Fire Piranha|Big Venus Fire Trap]]s, [[Muncher]]s, as well as [[Piranha Creeper]]s in ''Super Mario Maker 2'' only. Piranha Plants can be placed on the ground and do not move around. ''Super Mario Maker 2'' adds the ability to place Piranha Plants upside-down on ceilings, and in the game's added ''Super Mario 3D World'' style, Piranha Plants attack by lunging and can be defeated from a [[stomp]], unlike in the other game styles. ''Super Mario Maker 2'' also includes Piranha Plants in a Ninji Speedruns course called [[Yoshi's Piranha Plant Picnic]], where the goal is for [[Yoshi]] to swallow twenty-five.

====''Super Mario Run''====
Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Run]]''. They emerge from pipes, retaining their usual biting attack, but not if the player character is standing nearby.

====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
[[File:SMO Bowser and Mario Impressing Peach.jpg|left|200px|thumb|Bowser using a bouquet of Piranha Plants to impress Peach]]
Piranha Plants are a species in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]''. They are used as flowers in [[Bowser]] and [[Princess Peach]]'s marriage, as well as decorations on Bowser's ship in the opening scene. While Piranha Plants do not appear as enemies, [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s retain this role, and the game introduces the [[Poison Piranha Plant]] variety.
{{br}}

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
[[File:SMBW Magma Flare-Up Plant.jpg|thumb|Piranha Plants in ''Super Mario Bros. Wonder'']]
Piranha Plants return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]''. Besides the returning [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s, [[Big Piranha Plant]]s, [[Big Fire Piranha Plant]]s, [[Bone Piranha Plant]]s, [[Muncher]]s, and [[Nipper Plant]]s, the game introduces additional Piranha Plant varieties: [[Trottin' Piranha Plant]]s, which can leave their pipes and move around; [[Melon Piranha Plant]]s, which resemble watermelons and spit seeds; [[Wonder Packun]], black Piranha Plants with long stalks that appear after Bowser collects the [[Wonder Flower]] at the start of the game; [[Cloud Piranha]]s, dark Piranha Plants made of smoke that protect Bowser's Castle; and [[Note Piranha Plant]]s (and their [[Big Note Piranha Plant|larger variant]]s), fiery Piranha Plants resembling music notes that function as projectiles.

[[File:Piranha Plant Mario.jpg|thumb|A Piranha Plant about to bite Mario in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' episode "[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]".]]
A green Piranha Plant appears in the episode "[[Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas]]" of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. It bites [[Raccoon Mario]] after he is knocked unconscious by Big Mouth's reptile breath tornado move, but misses on the second attempt. Both [[Ptooie]]s and [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]]s also appear, more commonly than Piranha Plants.

===''Nintendo Comics System''===
Piranha Plants appear occasionally in the ''[[Nintendo Comics System]]''. They are depicted with primarily dark green heads atop light green stems. Some Piranha Plants have a pair of eyes, while female Piranha Plants have faces the same color as their stems and dark green lips, while the dark green and spotted portion is made from leaves and acts as "hair." In [[Piranha-Round Sue]], several Piranha Plants, led by [[Piranha Sue]], attempt to steal the [[Green Gecko Gem]] and a [[magic wand]] in order to depose [[Bowser]], due to several tight restrictions he had placed upon them. In [[The Revenge of Pipe Ooze!]] a Piranha Plant gets strangled by Bowser after he calls [[Lemmy]] an idiot, while two female Piranha Plants appear as fans of [[Dirk Drain-Head]], of whom Mario was cosplaying as.

===''[[Nintendo Adventure Books]]''===
A patch of Piranha Plants in ''[[Double Trouble (book)|Double Trouble]]'' trap [[Toad]] after he is led astray by a disguised Koopa on his way back to the Mushroom Palace. After hearing Toad's yells for help, Mario rushes into the patch to rescue him, and tries to fight off a particularly large Piranha Plant by throwing a rock, which the plant bats aside with a stick, giving its brethren the idea of grabbing some clubs to use as weapons as well. Depending on how the accompanying puzzle is solved, the plants either fight each other after Mario tricks one into bludgeoning another, or they succeed in knocking Mario out with a blow to the head.

A patch of Piranha Plants appear near the Mushroom Palace in ''[[Leaping Lizards]]'', with Morton, Luigi and Toad navigate through them on the way to [[Water Land]]. Some Piranha Plants in ''[[Koopa Capers]]'' are spotted by Luigi amongst several monsters in [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]]'s secret camp in the Magma Pits.

A patch of Piranha Plants appear in ''[[Pipe Down!]]'', having to be run through by Mario and Luigi if they decide to go after Princess Toadstool. Four Piranha Plants (named Ashby, Justin, Scott and Todd respectively) are later revealed to have been coerced by [[Ludwig|Ludwig von Koopa]] to becoming the string quartet in a ballet that Toadstool is forced to star in. If the Piranha Plants attack the Mario Bros. and the princess, they are defeated quickly by Luigi knocking their pots over. One of the bad endings has two Piranha Plants eat Mario and Luigi if enter the leftmost pipe in a chamber.

A hungry, young Piranha Plant appears in ''[[Flown the Koopa]]'', where Mario pulls the [[Mushroom King]] away it while avoiding [[Dino Rhino]]s in a forest.

Piranha Plants and some traffic officers switch minds in ''[[Brain Drain]]'', due to the [[Synapse Switcher]], causing havoc on the Fungus Freeway.

===''Yoshi''===
[[File:YoshiNES-PiranhaPlant-Score.png|thumb|left]]
Piranha Plants are objects in ''[[Yoshi (game)|Yoshi]]''. They are one of six to fall onto the playing field. Piranha Plants are depicted similarly to [[Jumping Piranha Plant]]s from ''[[Super Mario World]]''.
{{br}}
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Super Mario Kart''====
Piranha Plants are obstacles in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]''. They are encountered in [[SNES Choco Island 1|Choco Island 1]] and [[SNES Choco Island 2|Choco Island 2]]. Piranha Plants are offroad and cause whoever drives into them to spin out.

====''Mario Kart 64''====
Piranha Plants return in ''[[Mario Kart 64]]''. They are placed in the ground and have lips that of a yellowish tan color. Piranha Plants are encountered in [[N64 Mario Raceway|Mario Raceway]] and [[N64 Royal Raceway|Royal Raceway]]. They are placed offroad, appearing to move their lips up and down in the manner of a sucking motion.

====''Mario Kart: Super Circuit''====
Piranha Plants return in ''[[Mario Kart: Super Circuit]]''. They are encountered in [[Yoshi Desert]]. A Piranha Plant emerges from a quicksand pit if a player character drives in, chewing on them shortly before spitting them out.

====''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!''====
Piranha Plants return in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. They are encountered in [[GCN Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]] and [[GCN Yoshi Circuit|Yoshi Circuit]]. Piranha Plant are in pipes and try to bite approaching drivers, flipping them over when hit. The chomping sound effect of Piranha Plants is a sped up variation of one of [[Petey Piranha]]'s sound clips, and Piranha Plants use one of his exact voice clips when hit. Piranha Plants are stunned temporarily if hit by either a [[Green Shell]], a [[Red Shell]], a [[Bowser Shell]], or a character under the [[Invincible Mario|invincibility effects]] of a [[Super Star|Star]]. Besides Piranha Plants, the game introduces [[Pit Plant]]s, which are obstacles in [[GCN Dry Dry Desert|Dry Dry Desert]], and adds [[Petey Piranha]] as a playable character.

====''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' series====
[[File:MKAGPDX Piranha Plant.png|thumb|left|A Piranha Plant icon in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP DX'']]
Piranha Plant is an item in both ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]''. It has a bright pink look. The Piranha Plant is one of the [[Special Item (Mario Kart series)|Special Items]] used by [[Princess Peach]]. It eats the items of opponents after being summoned. Piranha Plants also appear as obstacles in [[Mario Beach]] and [[DK Jungle (Mario Kart Arcade GP)|DK Jungle]], where they act the same as they do in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'' Smaller Piranha Plants also appear on the bottom of archways in the [[Bowser Cup]] in red and green colors, though they merely observe.

====''Mario Kart DS''====
Piranha Plants are obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. They are encountered in [[DS Mario Circuit|Mario Circuit]], {{classic-link|SNES|Choco Island 2}}, and {{classic-link|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}}. Piranha Plants function the way they do in ''Super Mario Kart''. [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s are also obstacles in the former course.

====''Mario Kart Wii''====
Piranha Plants are obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]''. They are encountered in {{classic-link|N64|Mario Raceway}} and {{classic-link|GCN|Mario Circuit}}. Piranha Plants are the basis of one of the [[kart]]s, [[Piranha Prowler]], but the petals and colored lips suggest closer inspiration from Petey Piranha.

====''Mario Kart 7''====
Piranha Plants are obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart 7]]''. They are encountered in [[3DS Music Park|Music Park]] and [[3DS Piranha Plant Slide|Piranha Plant Slide]]. There are two giant Piranha Plants in both courses. The Piranha Plants in Music Park move to the beat of the background music, bite player characters if they drive into the spotlight in front of them, and switch between the right and left sides at times. The Piranha Plants of Piranha Plant Slide are positioned in the center, changing which direction they face periodically.

====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
[[File:MK8SNESDonutPlains3PiranhaPlant.png|thumb|Yoshi using the potted Piranha Plant in ''Mario Kart 8'']]
Piranha Plants are obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]''. They are encountered both in pipes and on land. The Piranha Plants in pipes appear in [[Sweet Sweet Canyon]], [[Mario Circuit (Mario Kart 8)|Mario Circuit]], {{classic-link|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}}, {{classic-link|3DS|Piranha Plant Slide}}, and {{classic-link|3DS|Music Park}}; the first three courses give them similar behavior as in ''Mario Kart: Double Dash!!'', but Piranha Plants in the returning ''Mario Kart 7'' courses retain their behavior from said game. The Piranha Plants on land are in {{classic-link|N64|Royal Raceway}}, as well as {{classic-link|Tour|Bangkok Rush}} and  {{classic-link|DS|Mario Circuit}} in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]''. Piranha Plants are in the background of [[Shy Guy Falls]], {{classic|3DS|Piranha Plant Slide}}, and [[Piranha Plant Cove]]. The ''Booster Course Pass'' adds Piranha Plants that are not in pipes but behave like the counterparts otherwise, including in {{classic-link|Tour|Amsterdam Drift}}, Piranha Plant Cove, and {{classic-link|Tour|Madrid Drive}}. A Piranha Plant in the ''Booster Course Pass'' course [[Yoshi's Island (race course)|Yoshi's Island]] is attached to the underside of the tree trunk arch before the water section and uses identical sound effects as in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''.

Other Piranha Plant varieties and relatives appear. The [[potted Piranha Plant]] from ''Super Mario 3D World'' is one of the items, but other than them, other Piranha Plant varieties are featured as obstacles: [[Raving Piranha Plant]]s appear in [[Electrodome]]; a [[Bone Piranha Plant]] appears in [[Bone-Dry Dunes]]; and [[Deku Baba]]s are cosmetic replacements of Piranha Plants in [[Hyrule Circuit]].

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
Piranha Plants are obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]''. They appear in both their lunging and passive variants. They are found in many courses in the game, especially in T variants of courses. They act the same as in ''Super Mario Kart'' and ''Mario Kart 7''. Hitting Piranha Plants with the use of an item or while invincible grants the player some bonus points. There are also [[wooden cutout]]s of Piranha Plants, which are used to block certain shortcuts. A new glider called the [[Piranha Plant Parafoil]] is also introduced. The [[Piranha Plant Tour]] is themed around Piranha Plants, with Petey Piranha and Piranha Plant Slide returning in this tour. This game also introduces two new courses themed around Piranha Plants, called [[Piranha Plant Cove]] and [[Piranha Plant Pipeline]] respectively. [[Inky Piranha Plant]]s also make their debut in this game, appearing in the course [[Bangkok Rush]].

Below are two lists of courses in ''Mario Kart Tour'' that feature Piranha Plants: one list is for the lunging type, and the other for the passive type. (Select "show" to reveal a list.)

A Piranha Plant, also spelled lowercase,<ref>{{cite|quote=A piranha plant sometimes sticks its head out of the pipe. You'll get hurt if you touch it, but you can send it flying by attacking it.|author={{iw|smashwiki|Tips}}|title=''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''|publisher=Nintendo|date=2018|language=en}}</ref> is a downloadable playable character in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', as of January 29, 2019. It was available for free post-launch for anyone who registered the game through [[My Nintendo]] by January 31, 2019 (PST), and it can be purchased separately as of February 1, 2019 (PST). In its {{iw|smashwiki|List of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate character trailers#Piranha Plant|trailer}}, Piranha Plant is seen being approached by Mario before knocking him back and repeatedly biting at him before the tagline is displayed: "Piranha Plant Pipes Up!" ("Piranha Plant Joins the Battle!" in the British English version). Piranha Plant is unlockable in {{iw|smashwiki|Adventure Mode: World of Light}} after freeing ten {{iw|smashwiki|fighter}}s, which occurs automatically if the criteria is fulfilled prior to downloading Piranha Plant. Piranha Plant's basic {{iw|smashwiki|move}}s include bites, headbutts, leaf swipes, and pot strikes. Piranha Plant's {{iw|smashwiki|up special move}} is [[Ptooie (move)|Ptooie]], which involves shooting spiked balls similarly to [[Ptooie|the species]]; its {{iw|smashwiki|side special move}} is [[Poison Breath]], which involves spewing a damaging cloud of poison, similarly to [[Putrid Piranha]]s; its {{iw|smashwiki|up special move}} is [[Piranhacopter]], in which Piranha Plant flies like a [[Jumping Piranha Plant]]; its {{iw|smashwiki|down special move}} is [[Long-Stem Strike]]; and its [[Final Smash]] is [[Petey Piranha (move)|Petey Piranha]], which involves summoning [[Petey Piranha|the character]] to trap opponents in cages, breathe fire on them, and slam the cages onto the ground. Piranha Plant's {{iw|smashwiki|forward smash}} is Prickly Swing, in which it transforms into a [[Prickly Piranha Plant]] to perform a headbutt. Its {{iw|smashwiki|back aerial}} is Fire Breath, in which Piranha Plant spits an explosive fireball in the manner of a [[Fire Piranha Plant]]. Its {{iw|smashwiki|forward tilt}} is Push and Pull and its {{iw|smashwiki|down aerial}} is Flowerpot Meteor. Piranha Plant is one of the heavier fighters, and its mobility is also below-average in many areas, apart from its dashing speed. Piranha Plant was originally intended to have three jumps, but the third jump was removed prior to the fighter's release.<ref>{{cite|url=nintendosoup.com/piranha-plant-was-nerfed-before-it-was-added-into-super-smash-bros-ultimate|title=Piranha Plant Was Nerfed Before It Was Added Into Super Smash Bros.

Its {{iw|smashwiki|victory theme}} is identical to [[Bowser]]'s and [[Bowser Jr.]]'s. One of Piranha Plant's {{iw|smashwiki|victory pose}}s shows it biting Mario, stopping him from jumping over Piranha Plant, and then smiling after launching him away. The {{iw|smashwiki|Palutena's Guidance}} conversation on Piranha Plant reveals {{iw|smashwiki|Viridi}} as being very knowledgeable on the species, having written a thesis on it and naming its many variants, irritating [[Pit (character)|Pit]] and [[Palutena]] in the process.

The {{iw|smashwiki|alternate costume}}s reference the different types of Piranha Plants and warp pipe color variations:
*Its green costume is derived from how it appeared in the original ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''The Lost Levels'', with a green warp pipe.
*Its yellow costume is derived from various Piranha Plants that have a yellow color, including the [[Pipe Land]] king's transfigured form, the [[Wild Ptooie Piranha]] from ''Yoshi's Island'' upon the first strike, and the [[Glad P. Plant]] from ''Super Princess Peach'', with a magenta pot.
*The magenta costume resembles an active [[Piranha Creeper]] from ''Super Mario 3D World'', [[Dino Piranha]], [[Peewee Piranha]], and the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' appearance of [[Nipper Plant]]s, with a dark navy pipe.
*The black costume resembles the [[Inky Piranha Plant]] from ''Super Mario 3D Land'' and the Pale Piranha from ''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door'', with a red pot.
*The white costume resembles [[Bone Piranha Plant]]s as they appear in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2'', but with a pale green stem instead of a black one and white lips instead of the pale blue color they usually have, with a yellow pipe. Its all-white appearance with a green stem may also be a reference to [[Nipper Plant]]s.
*The indigo costume with pink lips resembles the [[Bungee Piranha]]s from ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', [[Spiny Piranha Plant]]s from ''Super Mario Galaxy'', and to a lesser extent, [[Mom Piranha]] when colored blue, as well as her blue-colored Piranha Plants prior to and during her boss fight in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' and its remake. It is in a goldenrod, metallic pot.
*Its blue costume resembles how its sprite appears in underground courses in ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''The Lost Levels'', as well as the [[Frost Piranha]] from ''Super Paper Mario'', and has a brown pipe.

Piranha Plant's Classic Mode route, "New Bloom," involves fighting every newcomer in the base game, including a boss not seen in other games of the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series. Piranha Plant engages in these battles in the following order:

#A Horde Battle of eight {{iw|smashwiki|Inkling (SSBU)|Inklings}} at {{iw|smashwiki|Moray Towers}}
#{{iw|smashwiki|Ridley (SSBU)|Ridley}} and {{iw|smashwiki|Dark Samus (SSBU)|Dark Samus}} at {{iw|smashwiki|Norfair}}

Their lips were changed to white, unlike previous entries, no longer being based on their ''Super Mario 64'' design. The Piranha Plants in [[Herbicidal Maniac]] are competitively shot at by the player characters, and hitting a mine causes more to appear. The Piranha Plant in Wingin' It appears from a house's chimney if a team gets 19 meters or higher.

====''Mario Party 8''====
Piranha Plants are obstacles in the boards [[DK's Treetop Temple]] and [[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]] and the minigames [[Winner or Dinner]] and [[Specter Inspector]]. The Piranha Plants on the boards take ten coins from player characters who land on an [[Event Space|? Space]] with them.

Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario]]''. They are depicted with yellow teeth and do not appear in pipes. Piranha Plants are encountered in [[Forever Forest]]. They move around freely and burrow underground when near Mario before emerging to try and bite him, giving it the [[First Strike]]. Varieties debuting in the game include [[Putrid Piranha]]s and [[Frost Piranha]]s, as well as the boss [[Lava Piranha]].

====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:Pale Piranha.png|thumb|100px|left]]
Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]'' and [[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door (Nintendo Switch)|its remake]]. They are encountered in [[Boggly Woods]] and [[the Great Tree]], having been adapted into a monochrome color to suit their environment, similarly to [[Cleft]]s. In the English localization, they are known as '''Pale Piranhas''' and identified by [[Goombella]] as a {{wp|subspecies}}. However, every other language lacks this detail and states they are the same plants from Mario's previous adventures, although the Spanish localization has a color identifier in its name regardless. The game's English demo treats them as normal Piranha Plants.<ref>{{cite|title=[[tcrf:Proto:Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door/Text & Dialogue#The Great Tree Enemies|''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''/Text & Dialogue]]|author=TCRF|language=en|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor}}</ref> Pale Piranhas behave like Piranha Plants in the previous game, but those the Great Tree they can move to higher and lower ground in rooms with multiple levels. In the [[Glitz Pit]], a Pale Piranha appears as one of the members of [[The Mind-Bogglers]]. Piranha Plants are part of the [[audience]], joining in Boggly Woods once Pale Piranhas are encountered, though they can be seen sooner if fighting against [[Spania]]s in the western portion of [[Rogueport Underground]].

Additionally, Putrid Piranhas and Frost Piranhas return from ''Paper Mario'', now simply being recolors of Pale Piranhas. A new, powerful variety, simply called [[Piranha Plant (Pit of 100 Trials)|Piranha Plant]], also appears. These Piranha Plants are colored the same as typical Piranha Plants, have extremely high HP and attack power, and only appear in the optional [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].

====''Super Paper Mario''====
[[File:SPM Piranha Plant.png|thumb|150px|In ''Super Paper Mario'']]
Piranha Plants return in ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. They retain their yellow teeth and are described as "notorious" by [[Tippi]]. Piranha Plants are encountered in [[Lineland]], [[Gloam Valley]], and [[The Bitlands]]. They act more similarly to their functional equivalents introduced in ''Super Mario Bros.'' Besides Piranha Plants, Putrid Piranhas and Frost Piranhas also return.

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]''. They are first encountered in [[World 3 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 3]], then later in [[World 5 (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|World 5]], and also assist the third [[Wiggler Segment]]. Piranha Plants more closely resemble their design in other games, no longer having yellow teeth. Piranha Plants have a lot of HP, can home in on Mario on the field, and guard [[? Block]]s. Besides biting, Piranha Plants have an added attack where they spit clouds of dust, which can inflict the [[dizzy]] status. Piranha Plants sometimes dig underground to dodge Mario's attacks for a turn. They can be stomped only if using the [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|Iron Jump sticker]], similarly to previous entries. Piranha Plants can be assisted by [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Snifit]]s, [[Hammer Bro]]s., [[Poison Blooper]]s, [[Spike Top]]s and [[Spear Guy]]s.

====''Paper Mario: Color Splash''====
Piranha Plants return in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. They are encountered in [[Redpepper Crater]] and [[Mossrock Theater]].

====''Paper Mario: The Origami King''====
[[File:OrigamiPiranhaPlant.jpg|thumb|100px|An origami Piranha Plant]]
Origami Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[Paper Mario: The Origami King]]''. They are encountered in a section of [[Spring of Jungle Mist]]. Besides biting, they can spit [[fireball]]s. Piranha Plants can be jumped on using [[Iron Boots]] and their variants only. Origami Piranha Plants burrow underground while their spot is selected and reemerge once their spot is deselected. Besides them, Origami [[Nipper Plant]]s, [[Ptooie]]s, and [[Jumping Piranha Plant]]s are also enemies, along with [[Paper Macho Piranha Plant|Paper Macho]] versions of Piranha Plants.

===''Mario Golf'' series===
[[File:Nabbit double bogey.jpg|thumb|150px|left|Nabbit getting bitten by a Piranha Plant in ''Mario Golf: World Tour'']]
Piranha Plants appear in only two games of the [[Mario Golf (series)|''Mario Golf'' series]]. A few Piranha Plants are obstacles on the [[Bowser Badlands]] course in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'', inhabiting pipes and taking any ball entering its mouth before spitting it out into lava. A Piranha Plant in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]'' appears only during [[Nabbit]]'s Double Bogey animation, biting Nabbit from his bag as he tries to jump inside of it.

===''Mario & Luigi'' series===
====''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions''====
Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions|its remake]]. They are encountered at the [[Beanbean International Airport]], occupying the landing strip and preventing [[Toad Express]] from landing. The Piranha Plants respawn later unless they are doused with water and then struck by Luigi's [[Thunderhand]]. Besides Piranha Plants, a giant Piranha Plant named [[Mom Piranha]] is the boss of the area, and there is a mini-boss named [[Piranha Bean]], who can shrink anything it eats.

''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' includes lots of Piranha Beans as enemies, while [[Fire Stalking Piranha Plant]]s appear as recruitable allies.

====''Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time''====
Piranha Plants do not appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', though [[Petey Piranha]] is a boss and two varieties made their debut, [[Elasto-Piranha]]s and [[Piranha Planet]]s.

====''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story'' / ''Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey''====
A cell-based variation of the Piranha Plant, the [[Piranha Plorp]], appear in the Energy Hold in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story]]'' and [[Mario & Luigi: Bowser's Inside Story + Bowser Jr.'s Journey|its remake]]. Two giant Piranha Plants are also located in [[Peach's Castle]], and have to be defeated by Bowser by leaping up to their buds and bashing into them.
{{br}}

====''Mario & Luigi: Dream Team''====
Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. They are encountered in the biggest Dreampoint of [[Dreamy Driftwood Shore]]. They spit fire several times upon emerging before retreating into the ground temporarily, repeating this process repeatedly on the same spot. Piranha Plants all retreat underground briefly if [[Luiginary Gravity]] is used.

In battle, a Piranha Plant may spit a large fireball or a [[Fly Guy]] at Mario, which can be jumped over or idled under respectively to avoid damage. Piranha Plants are weak to Fire attacks, so the [[Luiginary Flame]] inflicts a lot of damage on them. Piranha Plants can spit out [[Nipper Spore]]s, which become [[Nipper Plant]]s that assist them from the background. A Piranha Plant can spit a fireball towards Nipper Plants if they are still alive, bouncing the fireball about until each on has touched it, and the last one to do so sends it towards Mario, who avoids damage by countering it at the Piranha Plant using his [[hammer]].
{{br}}

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
Piranha Plants do not appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', though Fire Piranha Plants and their [[Paper Fire Piranha Plant|paper variant]] do.

===''Yoshi Topsy-Turvy''===

===''Yoshi Touch & Go''===
Piranha Plants and Wild Ptooie Piranhas are enemies in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]''. They give four points when defeated. Both varieties behave identically as in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', but both of them take three hits to defeat, changing from green, yellow, and lastly red before their defeat. Wild Ptooie Piranhas also appear.

===''Super Princess Peach''===
Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They behave identically as in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. A Piranha Plant is defeated either by [[Perry]] or the Rage vibe. Besides Piranha Plants, [[Ptooie]]s, [[Nipper Plant]]s, and [[Petey Piranha|Boss P. Plant]] also return. [[Glad P. Plant]]s were added as a variety.

===''Mario Baseball'' series===
In the [[Mario Baseball (series)|''Mario Baseball'' series]], Piranha Plants appear in ''[[Mario Superstar Baseball]]'' and its sequel, ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. In both games, Piranha Plants are obstacles in [[Yoshi Park]], where they will eat any nearby balls and spit them out in a random direction. Touching a Piranha Plant briefly stuns a fielder. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', a Piranha Plant can take a ball, go in the pipe, and transport it to another part of the field. In both games, Piranha Plants also appear in the [[Piranha Panic]] minigame, where players must hit colored Piranha Plants with eggs of matching colors, although purple Piranha Plants can be hit with any egg. In ''Mario Super Sluggers'', the minigame instead has the player pitch the right balls into the Piranha Plants in order to score points while avoiding being stunned by it.

===''Mario & Sonic'' series===
[[File:M&S 2012 The Life of a Minion.png|thumb|left|200px|A Piranha Plant and a [[Chain Chomp]] in [[The Life of a Minion]].]]
Piranha Plants appear in a few events in the [[Mario & Sonic (series)|''Mario & Sonic'' series]]. Piranha Plants in Warp Pipes appear as obstacles in [[Ski Cross Racing]] in the [[Nintendo DS]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Nintendo DS)|version]] of ''Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games'', where they move horizontally in and out of the pipes and cause any characters that are hit to lose speed and [[Ring (Sonic the Hedgehog)|Rings]]. In the [[Wii]] [[Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games (Wii)|version]], Piranha Plants in Warp Pipes similarly appear as obstacles in the [[Dream Ski Cross (Individual)|individual]] and [[Dream Ski Cross (Team)|team]] versions of Dream Ski Cross, as well as in [[Dream Ice Hockey]], where they occasionally bite at nearby characters and knock over any that hit them. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games]]'', Piranha Plants in Warp Pipes appear as obstacles in [[BMX Plus]], where they occasionally bite at the characters, and if hit, the character loses both speed and Rings. In the same game, Piranha Plants also appear in [[Golf Plus]], although they do not affect the gameplay.

In the Nintendo 3DS version of ''[[Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games (Nintendo 3DS)|Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games]]'', a single Piranha Plant in a Warp Pipe briefly appears in the Story Mode bonus episode [[The Life of a Minion]], where it is summoned by [[Magikoopa]] to stun [[Vector]].

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'' and [[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker (Nintendo Switch / Nintendo 3DS)|its port]]. They are defeated either from being hit by [[turnip]]s, being [[Spin|spun]] into, or landed on.

===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series===
[[File:PiranhaPlants-MarioVSDK.png|thumb|200px|Two Piranha Plants on the ceiling and two Piranhas with Fire on the floor in [[Warped Mansion]] from ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]''.]]
Piranha Plants, along with Fire Piranha Plants, appear in the [[Mario vs. Donkey Kong (series)|''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series]], debuting in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Minis March Again!]]''. They also appear in ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem!]]'' in [[Construction Zone]], ''[[Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars]]'' in [[Level 5-6 (Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars)|Level 5-6]], and ''[[Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge]]'' in [[Level 4]]. They do not generate fireballs, but if they receive a fireball from a Fire Piranha Plant, they spit it back shortly after, behaving just like their fire-shooting counterparts in this case. They are fixed to a surface and can destroy the [[Mini]]s at a single touch, but can otherwise be defeated with [[Hammer]]s, a [[Slope Slide]] or if hit by shooting a Mini from a [[Cannon]].

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
Piranha Plants are enemies and potential allies in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]''. Their main attribute is Wood, with no sub-attributes. Its skill Piranha Drain turns all Water Orbs into Heart Orbs. Its awoken skill Wood Boost raises the ATK of all Wood attribute team members whenever a horizontal line of Wood Orbs is cleared. 

Its HP and RCV are low and its ATK is below average. The player can transform a Piranha Plant into a [[Fire Piranha Plant]] by using four [[Fire Flower|Fire Flowers]] on it. If the player instead uses four [[Poison Mushroom|Poison Mushrooms]], it will transform into a [[Bone Piranha Plant]] instead. Because the Piranha Plant is treated as a generic enemy, it can still be battled, even if the player has one in their party.

===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
[[File:YWW Piranha Plant.jpg|thumb|140px|A Piranha Plant, as depicted in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]
Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|its port]]. They function the same as in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]]. Piranha Plants lunge in the direction of Yoshi and munch continuously. They are tied up if hit by a yarn ball, leaving them vulnerable to being defeated from a stomp.

===''Mario + Rabbids'' series===
In the [[Mario + Rabbids (series)|''Mario + Rabbids'' series]], Piranha Plants physically appear in only ''[[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]]''. They can be seen throughout the Flushy Forest section of [[Ancient Gardens]], such as Piranha Plants with lamp-like fixtures, which lie on the sidetrack in dimly lit parts of the forest, a three-headed Piranha Plant statue in The Mystic Maze of Mysticism and Mazing, and a potted Piranha Plant that was merged with a [[Rabbid]], becoming [[Pirabbid Plant]]. Additionally, one of Mario's Blaster weapons has a design based on a Piranha Plant. In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', a desk lamp resembling a Piranha Plant appears inside of the [[WM ARC]].

===''Yoshi's Crafted World''===
Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]''. They are encountered on both Yoshi's path and in the backdrop, where they cannot harm Yoshis. Piranha Plants are defeated from being hit by an egg. A large cardboard Piranha Plant named [[Spike the Piranha]] appears as the boss of [[Acorn Forest]].

===''Dr. Mario World''===
[[File:DrMarioWorld Piranha Plant.png|thumb|Artwork of Dr. Piranha Plant from ''Dr. Mario World'']]
Piranha Plants appear in ''[[Dr. Mario World]]'' as assistants. Their stage mode effect grants a chance that two viruses will be eliminated at the start of the stage, though viruses that require multiple hits won't immediately be eliminated. Their versus mode effect grants a chance that all capsules will be eliminated if an object has reached the third row from the bottom line (this can only happen once per match after it is activated). The chance that these effects activate increases at higher levels, where at the first level it is 30% for stage mode (5% prior to version 2.3.0) and 20% in versus mode, but at the maximum level it is 80% for stage mode (25% prior to version 2.3.0) and 100% in versus mode. Clinic Events featured a Piranha Plant as a patient during each of season 5 and the season 3 revisit

A Piranha Plant is a playable character named '''Dr. Piranha Plant''', released on December 16, 2020. Its skill in both stage mode and versus mode eliminates objects randomly, similar to [[Yoshi|Dr. Yoshi]]'s skill. It is represented by pipes appearing, followed by the Piranha Plant emerging from the bottom-middle pipe and then biting. This skill prioritizes eliminating [[virus]]es, and will only target other objects if there are less viruses that this skill targets. The difference between Dr. Yoshi and Dr. Piranha Plant is that the amount of objects eliminated by the former is greater compared to the latter, but the skill meter charges slower. [[Capsule]]s will only be targeted if other objects are not available.

===''Luigi's Mansion 3''===
Piranha Plants are referenced in ''[[Luigi's Mansion 3]]''. Figurines of them are in some areas of the [[Hotel Shops]].

===Play Nintendo===
[[File:Play Nintendo Izzy.jpg|thumb|left|120px|Izzy from ''[[Play Nintendo#The Play Nintendo Show|The Play Nintendo Show]]'']]
A Piranha Plant named [[Izzy]] is a co-host of ''[[Play Nintendo#The Play Nintendo Show|The Play Nintendo Show]]'', along with [[Andrew Trego]]. Izzy is a voiced puppet who remains within a [[Warp Pipe]] during the duration of the show, whose two leaves serve as arms. He has a role in providing comic relief and hosting supporting segments for the show, such as "Izzy News." Andrew says that Izzy gets a bit snappy before lunch.
