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.
 
'''Piranha Plants''' (also known as '''Piranhas''', misspelled as '''pirana plants'''<!--not capitalized--> in early manuals) are large, triffid-like plants encountered throughout the [[Mario (series)|''Mario'' series]]. They are carnivores and are seemingly based-off [[wikipedia:Venus Flytrap|Venus Flytrap]]s, eating anything that approaches them.
 
The head of a Piranha Plant is most commonly either red or green with multiple other colors. Originally, Piranha Plants were found exclusively in [[Warp Pipe|pipes]], either darting-out and biting anything near or remaining still and spitting [[fireball]]s. Currently, Piranha Plants can be found both in and out of pipes, and their fire-breathing ability is rarely used.
 
Despite being plants, Piranha Plants have been depicted as being sentient and capable of speech in a few appearances, though unlike several other enemies in the ''Mario'' series, they have never been shown forming societies. Piranha Plant characters such as [[Petey Piranha]], [[Piranha Bean]] and [[Dino Piranha]], among others, reveal that some Piranha Plants can have animal-like bodies, making them capable of walking. [[Mom Piranha]], [[Dino Piranha]], and [[Peewee Piranha]] are all depicted hatching from eggs, suggesting that Piranha Plants may be [[Wikipedia:Oviparity|oviparious]].

{{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}}
The first appearance of Piranha Plants was in World 1-2 of ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', where they were semi-common enemies. They have been strategically placed by [[Bowser]] to impede Mario's progress on his quest to save [[Princess Peach|Princess Toadstool]]. The Piranha Plants inhabit pipes and attack by biting [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] if they come into contact with these carnivorous plants. Piranha Plants won't emerge from their pipe if Mario or Luigi are adjacent to or standing directly on top of it, similar to a [[Bill Blaster]].
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.
 
Piranha Plants can be defeated by shooting them with a fireball, by kicking a [[Koopa (species)|Koopa]] or [[Buzzy Beetle]] shell at them, or by touching them while empowered by a [[Super Star|Starman]].

[[File:SMBLL Red Piranha Plant.png|frame|left]]
[[File:SMBLLRedPlant.png|thumb|67px|left|A Red Piranha Plant.]]
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 OkaP]].
The Piranha Plants returned in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', which was the sequel to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' in Japan, during the second conquest of the Mushroom Kingdom. The game introduced red-colored variants, which were much quicker than the green variety, and emerged from their pipe, regardless if someone is touching it, and are first seen in the [[World 4 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|fourth new land of the Mushroom Kingdom]]. However, they would not appear if the player was standing directly on top of the pipe. They appear more frequently than in the previous game, and have been the most common Piranha Plants seen throughout the ''Mario'' series since then. Additionally, they will pop up in upside-down pipes as well, making Mario or Luigi's way a bit more difficult. The Piranha Plants are first seen to be able to breathe underwater in the game.

====''Super Mario Bros. 3'' / ''Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3''====
====''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]]''.
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Piranha Plants are found throughout the game, retaining their biting attack. Here, along with being defeated with fireballs, Koopa shells and Starman powers, Piranha Plants could also be beaten with the tail of [[Raccoon Mario]], [[Tanooki Suit]] and [[Hammer Mario]]'s [[hammer]]s. Several variants of Piranha Plants are also introduced in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', including [[Fire Piranha Plant]], [[Piranhacus Giganticus]] and [[Ptooie]]. Most of these enemies appear in both green and red varieties. While the Red Piranha Plants act identically to the green ones unlike in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', they have an additional layer of leaves which makes them taller than green ones.<ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/images/remakes/smas/smas-smb3_w7-8_pipes_plants.png Screenshot containing both red and green Piranha Plants]</ref> The remakes of the game gave Piranha Plants in horizontal pipes red leaves. There are also [[Nipper Plant]]s, juvenile versions of Piranha Plants; and invincible [[Muncher]]s which resemble Nipper Plants more than Piranha Plants. Additionally, the [[Mushroom King|king]] of [[Pipe Land]] is transformed into a Piranha Plant by [[Ludwig von Koopa]]; in later ports of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the king is changed into a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] instead of a Piranha Plant.


====''Super Mario Land''====
This is the last main series ''Mario'' game where Piranha Plants have green heads; while this aspect was used on [[Beanstalk]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', red has since then been the standard color for these enemies.
'''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''====
====''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]].
Piranha Plants also appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' as enemies once again, attacking Mario, Luigi, and [[Yoshi]] by trying to bite them. They only appear in one level, [[Vanilla Dome 3]], and even then, only hanging upside down.
 
A single variant of Piranha Plants is introduced in ''Super Mario World''; this variant, [[Jumping Piranha Plant]] lives in pipes and leaps through the air, attacking anything nearby. These are also much more common than the normal variation, thus acting as a replacement for regular piranha plants.
 
In ''Super Mario World'', Piranha Plants can be beaten using fireballs, Starman-powers, a Koopa shell, a [[cape]]-attack or by simply eating them with Yoshi's tongue. Spin-jumping can also prevent getting chomped.

====''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'']]
[[File:Piranha Plant 64.png|thumb|left|150px|A Piranha Plant, as it appears in ''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.
In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and its remake, ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Piranha Plants appear as semi-common enemies once again; this is the first game to depict them outside of pipes. Normally, these plants are peacefully sleeping, however, if Mario wakes them up, they will try to bite Mario. They can be defeated with most attack methods, most easily by walking towards them slowly without waking them up and then [[Punch|punching]] them. The lips of these Piranha Plants are also inexplicably green; this was changed in the remake, where they had white lips. Additionally, an artwork used in material related to the game, but actually created for ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', depicts a Piranha Plant with white lips, so the reason why the ''SM64'' Piranha Plants' lips are green is unknown.
 
[[Big Fire Piranha Plant]]s appear in the huge part of [[Tiny-Huge Island]]; these giant Piranha Plants are extremely powerful and dangerous and spit fireballs at Mario. When Mario defeats them, he earns another Power Star. Also, miniature [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s appear in the tiny version of the Island, and two can be found in [[Bowser in the Sky]].
 
In [[Whomp's Fortress]], a sign in front of one reads: ''"I'm sleeping because... I'm sleepy. I don't like being disturbed. Please walk quietly."'' Indeed, walking slowly near the Piranha Plants will not wake them up. When they are asleep, a lullaby plays. It can be heard [[Piranha Plant#Media|here]].


====''Super Mario Sunshine''====
====''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.
[[File:MuddyPiranhaPlant.png|thumb|120px|A [[Graffiti|Goop]]-covered Piranha Plant in ''Super Mario Sunshine''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'', Piranha Plants are somewhat rare, only appearing in [[Bianco Hills]]. These Piranha Plants will attack Mario by popping-out of the ground and spitting missiles made of Goop. They are defeated by spraying water with [[F.L.U.D.D.]] inside their bodies until they blow up. In this game, their look is based off their appearance in ''[[Super Mario 64]]'', as they have green lips (though oddly enough, most of them lack any form of teeth in their mouths). They also gain a new notable member in [[Petey Piranha]], a Goop-spitting, giant, anthropomorphic Piranha Plant who appears twice as a boss in the game, and would go on to become a recurring character.
 
[[Polluted Piranha Plant]]s, apparently Piranha Plants created from the Goop of the [[Magic Paintbrush]] wielded by [[Bowser Jr.]], are also fought as mini-bosses in ''Super Mario Sunshine''. After Mario sprays water on the generator, they come out and have to be defeated by shooting water at their mouths. [[Piranhabon]]s, giant-sized Goop-covered Piranha Plant heads, also appear as obstacles in [[Bianco Hills]] coming out of the Goop. If Mario sprays water on them, they are revealed to look like Petey Piranha's head.


====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
====''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.
[[File:Piranha_Plant.JPG|thumb|left|A Piranha Plant from ''New Super Mario Bros.''.]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'', Piranha Plants return to their original attack pattern of popping-out of pipes and biting anything nearby. They are also found in the ground now, and if found on conveyor belts, they will move along with it. In ''New Super Mario Bros.'', Piranha Plants make chomping sounds.
 
[[Fire Piranha Plant]]s also make their return in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', while [[Big Piranha Plant]]s make their debut. The latter require three fireballs instead of one to die, and release eight coins when they do.


====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
====''Super Mario Galaxy''====
[[File:SMG Piranha Plant Artwork.png|thumb|Artwork from ''Super Mario Galaxy'']]
[[File:SMGPIR.PNG|thumb|100px|A Spiny Piranha Plant model 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.  
Piranha Plants made their appearance in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', trying to bite the player much like they did in ''New Super Mario Bros.'', but could be stunned if Mario fired [[Star Bits]] at them. They could be defeated by jumping on them, with a [[Spin|Star Spin]], or when run into as [[Rainbow Mario]]. They must sometimes be defeated to advance further, signaled by a [[Sproutle Vine]] growing where they once were. It is also notably the second game that Piranha Plants can be defeated in a single jump, after ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]''.
 
There is also a new, purple variation called [[Prickly Piranha Plant]] that is bigger and it attempts to slam its head into Mario. It can be defeated by hitting round bushes at it or by stomping it after it has slammed its head in the ground.
 
A Piranha Plant-like alien called [[Dino Piranha]] serves as a boss. It would chase Mario around its planetoid once woken from its egg. It could be defeated by [[Spin]]ning to hit its tail, causing the tail to fly out, then get pulled back in and hit Dino Piranha. There was a separate, much more difficult version called the Fiery Dino Piranha. [[Fiery Dino Piranha]]'s tail would often be on fire, so Mario could only attack it while its tail had gone out. It also ran faster and left a temporary trail of fire behind it. They both give the player a [[Power Star]] if defeated.


====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
====''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.
[[File:PiranhaPlantNSMBW.png|frame]]
Piranha Plants also appear as enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' exactly like they did in the predecessor, along with [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s and [[Big Piranha Plant]]s. [[Stalking Piranha Plant]]s and [[River Piranha Plant]]s also make their debut in this game, as well as [[Big Fire Piranha Plant]]s. However, the pipe-planted Piranha Plants have lost their chomping sound effects from ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]''.

====''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]].
Piranha Plants appear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', and they behave just as they did in the predecessor. In [[Supermassive Galaxy]], [[Piranhacus Giganticus]] once again appears, and acts as the original plant who goes up and down. There is now a new species of the [[Prickly Piranha Plant]] from the original, known as the [[Spiky Piranha Plant]]. To defeat it, Mario or Luigi must hit it with a plant when it slams its head onto the ground, as they cannot be stomped due its prickles on its head.
 
The boss of the first galaxy, [[Sky Station Galaxy]], is a baby, giant Piranha Plant named [[Peewee Piranha]], whom is similar to [[Dino Piranha]] from the original. He is beaten by first spinning into the eggshell on his backside, then into his glowing butt once it's broken. After being hit a few times, the shell somehow regenerates and the cycle starts over. The player then needs to do this method again, but the boss is faster than before. After done twice, Mario is awarded with the first [[Power Star]] in the game. Also, in the [[Boss Blitz Galaxy]], the player has to fight Dino Piranha and Fiery Dino Piranha, two bosses from the game's predecessor.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
====''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.
[[File:Bone Piranha_Plant.png|thumb|left|128px|A Bone Piranha Plant.]]
Piranha Plants appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. Whenever Mario touches a [[Gold Ring (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|Gold Ring]], the Piranha Plants turn golden.

====''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 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.

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.
In the [[Mario Kart (series)|''Mario Kart'' series]], Piranha Plants often appear as road obstacles. One example is the Choco Islands in ''[[Super Mario Kart]]'' where they sit there, acting as an obstacle. If the player hits the Piranha Plants, they will spin out.


====''Mario Kart 64''====
In ''[[Mario Kart 64]]'', Piranha Plants return with a different look. They do not come out of pipes, but they are sitting on the ground. They appear to be moving their lips up and down, similar to a sucking motion. They appear on [[Mario Raceway]] and [[Royal Raceway]].
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''====
In ''[[Mario Kart Double Dash!!]]'', Piranha Plants appear in [[Mario Circuit]] and in [[Yoshi Circuit]]. Here, they will stay in their pipe. When any driver gets close to them, they will try to bite the driver. Anyone who gets bitten by a Piranha Plant will flip over and the thrower will end up getting dragged behind the kart. Piranha Plants can be stunned by using a projectile such as a [[Green Shell]] or a [[Bowser Shell]] and they will also get stunned by anyone who used a [[Super Star|Star]].
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!!''====
[[File:Mkgp2 frying plant.png|thumb|right|Piranha Plant as it appeared in ''Mario Kart Arcade GP''.]]
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.
In both ''[[Mario Kart Arcade]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart Arcade GP 2]]'', the Piranha Plant is one of [[Princess Peach]]'s special character items. The Piranha Plant's function in both games is that of eating the items of Peach's opponents once it is summoned by her. This Piranha Plant is differentiated by its bright pink coloration (possibly in reference to Peach herself).


====''Mario Kart Arcade GP'' series====
Piranha Plants reappear as obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart DS]]''. Instead of their biting habits in ''Mario Kart Double Dash!!'', they will sit and breathe fireballs at any driver in [[Mario Circuit]]. Choco Island 2 has returned and also brought back the Piranha Plant Obstacles.
[[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''====
In ''[[Mario Kart Wii]]'', there is a vehicle called [[Piranha Prowler]]. However, this kart is based more on [[Petey Piranha]] than an actual Piranha Plant, due to its petals and non-lips on the kart.
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''====
In ''[[Mario Kart 7]]'', huge versions appear in a course named after the species, [[Piranha Plant Slide]]. Ironically, only two appear on this track, one in the underground segment and the other in the underwater segment. and if the player comes near them, they attempt to bite them. Getting hit by a Piranha Plant causes the player flip out. Two more Piranha Plants also appear on the track [[Music Park]]. They do the same things, and switch to the opposite side of the track each lap. These plants also bop their heads to the track's music.
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''====
[[File:MK8SNESDonutPlains3PiranhaPlant.png|thumb|right|Yoshi using the Potted Piranha Plant in ''Mario Kart 8''.]]
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.
In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'', the [[Potted Piranha Plant]] from ''Super Mario 3D World'' appears as an item. The Piranha Plant will attack nearby racers and any items on the ground, like [[Bananas|Banana Peels]], while giving the user a speed boost every time it lunges forward. This is similar to the [[Chain Chomp]] item that appeared in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''. The item is time-based, and a small portion is cut off whenever the plant lunges forward. The Piranha Plant's pot features tiny wheels for it to move. Also, the Bone Piranha Plant makes a return from ''New Super Mario Bros 2'' in the track [[Bone-Dry Dunes]] and smaller Piranha Plants appear in the returning [[Royal Raceway|<small>N64</small> Royal Raceway]]. The returning [[Music Park|<small>3DS</small> Music Park]] and [[Piranha Plant Slide|<small>3DS</small> Piranha Plant Slide]] retain their respective Piranha Plants and in the case of the latter course, small Piranha Plants have been added in the background. Piranha Plants that bob their heads to the track's music appear in [[Electrodrome]] as well.

[[File:MK8SNESDonutPlains3PiranhaPlant.png|thumb|Yoshi using the potted Piranha Plant in ''Mario Kart 8'']]
====''Super Mario Land''====
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]]''.
[[File:Piranha_Plant_SML.png|200px|thumb|A Piranha Plant in ''Super Mario Land''.]]
Piranha Plants are also featured in ''[[Super Mario Land]]'', which takes place in [[Sarasaland]], not the [[Mushroom Kingdom]]. However, the English instruction manual for the physical [[Game Boy]] release refers to them as '''Pakkun Flower''', which is their Japanese name. Since most of the names of the enemies were left unlocalized in the ''Super Mario Land'' instruction, the same goes for the Pakkun Flower, that only is a Piranha Plant with its name untranslated rather than a different type of plant. However, the English digital manual for the [[Nintendo 3DS|3DS]] [[Virtual Console]] release translates the enemies as Piranha Plants. This is the only enemy in this game that originates from previous Mario games that is not a sub-species or otherwise changed.


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]]. The Booster Course Pass includes [[Big Piranha Plant]]s in {{classic-link|Tour|Paris Promenade}} and {{classic-link|DS|Peach Gardens}}, [[Ptooie]]s in {{classic-link|GBA|Riverside Park}}, [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s in {{classic|DS|Mario Circuit}}, and [[Mecha Piranha Plant]]s in {{classic-link|GCN|Waluigi Stadium}}. [[Wooden cutout]]s of Piranha Plants are in {{classic|Tour|Paris Promenade}}, [[Ninja Hideaway]] and {{classic-link|Wii|Daisy Circuit}}.
====''Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins''====
[[File:PiranhaPlant-SML2.png|frame|left]]
The Piranha Plants of ''[[Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins]]'' are, more or less, identical to the ones of ''Super Mario World''; these Piranha Plants can be defeated by hitting them with a [[Fireball|fireball]]. Also, a spiky-headed [[Fire Piranha Plant]] appeared, and, in [[Mario's castle]], Piranha Plant statues appeared that would attack by shooting large balls of fire.


====''Mario Kart Tour''====
===[[Yoshi (series)|''Yoshi'' series]]===
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]].
====''Yoshi''====
Piranha Plants make an appearance in [[Yoshi (game)|''Yoshi'']]. They are enemies in the A Type part of the game, as well as the B Type. Piranha Plants are not main enemies in the game; they just make appearances throughout some parts of the game. Piranha Plant's sprite in the game is like its sprite from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. Many of the other enemies' sprites also are similar to their sprites from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.


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.)
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
[[File:YIpiranhaplant.jpg|thumb|125px|A Piranha Plant as seen in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''.]]
In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', Piranha Plants are drastically changed; instead of being rooted in pipes, Piranha Plants are found planted in the ground. Piranha Plants, instead of attacking at intervals, would simply wait in a miniaturized form and grow larger and lunge at a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] if it approached. Also, instead of simply trying to bite Yoshi, they will eat him and then spit him out, causing him to lose Baby Mario and his [[Yoshi Egg]]s. They could not be jumped on or swallowed, so they had to be defeated with eggs or by spitting an enemy at them.


;Lunging variant
''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' also had a Piranha Plant boss named [[Naval Piranha]], who is grown gigantic in size by [[Kamek]]'s magic.

====''Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit''====
Nipper Plants also appear as enemies in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''; here, Nipper Plants are usually spawned from [[Nipper Spore]]s, which Naval Piranha is capable of spitting.
Piranha Plants are obstacles in ''[[Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit]]''. They are encountered in [[Piranha Paradise]]. Piranha Plants appear on gates sometimes, snapping at player characters driving by and temporarily holding any caught player character holding them in their mouths for some time if caught.


===''Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3''===
====''Yoshi's Story''====
Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3]]''. Piranha Plants are encountered throughout [[Parsley Woods]]. They behave like [[Muncher]]s, being stationary, invincible enemies that occupy certain areas. Piranha Plants are indestructible and can defeat [[Wario]] instantly by touching him.
[[File:Piranha Plant.gif|thumb|left|A Piranha Plant in ''Yoshi's Story''.]]
The Piranha Plants of ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' are shown to be capable of growing to huge proportions, their gnashing heads atop spike-covered stalks. The game has also introduced several other variations of Piranha Plants, such as the flying [[Piranha Pest]] and the grounded [[Piranha Sprout]]s.


Although never referred to with their English names in ''Wario Land''-related material, these enemies are labeled as "Pakkun Flower" (パックンフラワー) on [[Media:Wario Land enemies (KC Mario).jpg|page 6]] of the [[KC Deluxe]] manga, volume 24, which is the Japanese name for Piranha Plants. ''[[Nintendo Power]]'' instead gives the uncapitalized name "piranha plant" to the Munchers on [[Rice Beach]].<ref>{{cite|date=March 1994|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|author=Tilden, Gail, et al.|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 58|page=78|quote='''SAND SWIMMING''' Press the A Button rapidly to stay up near the top, away from the piranha plants.}}</ref>
Also, it is revealed that an extremely large area of [[Yoshi's Island (place)|Yoshi's Island]] is composed of Piranha Plants; this area is aptly named [[Piranha Grove]].


===''Mario's FUNdamentals''===
Nipper Spores also appear in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', where they are now covered in spikes.

A Wild Piranha causes a Yoshi to lose [[Baby Mario]] and his [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s if it catches Yoshi into its mouth, though spits him out after a few seconds. Wild Piranhas are defeated only from being hit by an egg or a different projectile; when defeated, a Wild Piranha's head flips, shrinks, and disappears. Besides [[Nipper Plant]]s returning, the game introduces the [[Propeller Piranha|Hootie the Blue Fish]] and [[Wild Ptooie Piranha]] varieties One of the bosses is a giant Wild Piranha named [[Naval Piranha]]. Piranha Plants have traits similar to [[Blow Hard]]s, but the latter is defined as a [[Pokey]] variant.

A giant Piranha Plant is one of the bosses, [[Big Bungee Piranha]].
In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Piranha Plants once again appear as common enemies, along with [[Wild Ptooie Piranha]]s, [[Nipper Plant]]s and Nipper Spores, and act just as in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. Several new Piranha Plants also appear, such as [[Ghost Piranha]]s, [[Bungee Piranha]]s and [[Nipper Dandelion]]s.

The [[Mushroom Kingdom (Super Smash Bros.)|Mushroom Kingdom]] stage that appears in ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]'' and ''[[Super Smash Bros.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', a Piranha Plant is featured as a [[Sticker (Super Smash Bros. Brawl)|sticker]] and a [[Trophy (Super Smash Bros. series)|trophy]], and in the [[PictoChat]] stage, one of the drawings that appears in the background is a Piranha Plant.

{{main-wiki|SmashWiki|Piranha Plant (SSBU)}}
In ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]'', Piranha Plants appear as enemies in the [[Pipe Vault]], where they try to ambush Mario by leaping from a pipe. The Piranha Plants of ''Super Mario RPG'' have root-like legs, allowing them to walk; despite this, they are found exclusively in pipes outside of battle. Perhaps in reference to their immunity to being [[jump]]ed on in earlier ''Mario'' games, the Piranha Plants in this game are completely immune to Mario's jump attacks.
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. Ultimate|date=February 2, 2019|publisher=Nintendo Soup|accessdate=May 22, 2024|author=Iggy}}</ref> Piranha Plant smiles or scowls for certain actions, making it more expressive than in other appearances. 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:
Later on in [[Bean Valley]], green and purple-colored Piranha Plants named [[Chewy|Chewies]] appear. Additionally, [[Megasmilax]], a giant Piranha Plant, is Bean Vally's boss.
*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 fighter [[Spirit (Super Smash Bros. Ultimate)|spirit]] uses its artwork from ''[[Mario Party DS]]''. Piranha Plant is one of the three DLC [[List of fighters debuting in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|fighters]] who never appear as a puppet fighter in any spirit battle, the other two are being {{iw|smashwiki|Terry (SSBU)|Terry}} and {{iw|smashwiki|Sephiroth (SSBU)|Sephiroth}}.
Nipper Plants, renamed Chompweeds, also appear as [[coin]]-stealing obstacles in the Pipe Vault and were set to appear as fightable enemies, but were removed from the final game.


The {{iw|smashwiki|List of updates (SSBU)/2.0.0 changelog|version 2.0.0}} update introduced a glitch where playing as Piranha Plant in {{iw|smashwiki|All-Star Mode#Super Smash Bros.

There is a Piranha Plant living at [[Monstro Town]] in the game.


Piranha Plant's Classic Mode route, "{{iw|smashwiki|Piranha Plant (SSBU)#Classic Mode: New Bloom|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:

Piranha Plants are featured quite prominently in the [[Mario Party (series)|''Mario Party'' series]], often as obstacles in [[minigame]]s. In ''[[Mario Party]]'', Piranha Plants could be planted by players in the [[Peach's Birthday Cake]] board; players that stop on the plant's spot lose a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]]. In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', Piranha Plants appear in [[Waluigi's Island]] and are [[Waluigi]]'s partner in Duel Mode. In ''[[Mario Party Advance]]'', a Piranha Plant is featured in a quest where the player must bring one to a [[Bob-omb]] named [[Bob-omba]]; the ending states that he is still healthy, and huge. Until ''[[Mario Party 7]]'', the ''Mario Party'' Piranha Plants were based on the species' appearance in ''Super Mario 64'', as evidenced by their green lips, which were switched to white in ''Mario Party 7''. In the first three games, most Piranha Plants seen were tripedal; they walked on three leg-like roots.

Piranha Plants are obstacles in the board [[Peach's Birthday Cake]] and the minigame [[Whack-a-Plant]], as well as audience members of [[Mario Bandstand]] in ''[[Mario Party]]''. Piranha Plants can be placed around the Peach's Birthday Cake board, with players losing a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] if they land on a spot with one. A three-legged Piranha Plant appears in [[Piranha's Pursuit]] as an obstacle to avoid. Piranha Plants in Whack-a-Plant are stomped by player characters as part of the minigame objective. A [[Big Piranha Plant|giant Piranha Plant]] is found in [[Tug o' War]].
A legged Piranha Plant chases the solo player in the 1-vs-3 minigame [[Piranha's Pursuit]], and a giant one is found in [[Tug o' War]]. Additionally, the minigame [[Whack-a-Plant]] involves stomping Piranha Plants which pop out of Warp Pipes. Piranha Plants are also part of the audience in [[Mario Bandstand]].


====''Mario Party 2''====
====''Mario Party 2''====
Piranha Plants are a species in ''[[Mario Party 2]]''. A three-legged Piranha Plant is encountered in [[Mini-Game Park]], chasing a butterfly, until the player purchases a certain number minigames from [[Woody]], then the Piranha Plant gives the player the minigames [[Dungeon Dash]] and [[Rainbow Run (minigame)|Rainbow Run]] before leaving. Piranha Plants are background elements in [[Bowser Land]], where one is near some red Warp Pipes, and [[Space Land]], where two are inside of a glass dome. A Piranha Plant is an obstacle in the minigame [[Toad in the Box]], where it stuns the player character if summoned from a rotating block.
A Piranha Plant that appears in ''[[Mario Party 2]]'', appears in [[Mini-Game Park]] and is constantly chasing a butterfly without stopping. After the player buys all minigames from [[Woody]], the Piranha Plant congratulates the player for their hard work and gives the player the minigame [[Rainbow Run (minigame)|Rainbow Run]], and leaves the Minigame Park, never to be seen again. A Piranha Plant can also be seen in the background in [[Bowser Land]] next to three red Warp Pipes. Two Piranha Plants can be seen inside glass domes in [[Space Land]]. In the minigame [[TOAD in the Box]], a Piranha Plant is one of four possible results when hitting the rotating block. If it is gotten, the player will be stunned temporarily.


====''Mario Party 3''====
====''Mario Party 3''====
Piranha Plants are a species in the minigames [[Storm Chasers]] and [[Winner's Wheel]], as well as a partner in Duel Mode in ''[[Mario Party 3]]''. The Piranha Plants in Storm Chasers are watered by chasing a moving cloud, and those in Winner's Wheel spectate, dancing if the player character wins. The three-legged Piranha Plant in Duel Mode is partnered with [[Waluigi]] by default, and it has an attack power of 3, one health point, a salary of five coins, and sometimes provides an additional die with 1-3 after rolling.
In ''[[Mario Party 3]]'', a spiked Piranha Plant appears in the background of the minigame [[Vine With Me]], possibly [[Naval Piranha]].
 
A Piranha Plant is also one of the partners in the game's Duel Mode, and is [[Waluigi]]'s default partner. It has an attack power of 3, one health point, and a salary of five coins. Its ability allows it to occasionally give the player an extra die with a 1-3 on it to roll after rolling. Two Piranha Plants appear in the item minigame [[Winner's Wheel]], watching the player. If the player wins, the Piranha Plants will dance.


====''Mario Party 4''====
====''Mario Party 4''====
Piranha Plants are background characters in ''[[Mario Party 4]]''. One is a speaker in the sound test in the Option Room, and another is the shower head of the Bowser bath [[Present Room|present]].
Though, Piranha Plants don't appear in any boards, minigames, or as an item in ''[[Mario Party 4]]'', they only make a brief cameo in the background of the Option Room, acting as the speakers for the sound test.

Piranha Plants are a species in the minigame [[Pop-Star Piranhas]], a part of the [[Piranha Plant Capsule]], a weapon in [[Super Duel Mode]], a background element in [[Triple Jump (minigame)|Triple Jump]] (at the 150 foot/50m sign), and the likeness of two statues in [[Bowser Nightmare]] in ''[[Mario Party 5]]''. The Piranha Plants in Pop-Star Piranhas all dance, except for one, with the player characters guessing which one. A Piranha Plant of the Piranha Plant Capsule takes away half the [[coin]]s of whoever lands on a space with it.
In ''[[Mario Party 5]]'', the minigame [[Pop-Star Piranhas]] presents five dancing Piranha-Plants. The players must find out the one that is dancing differently from the others. The [[Piranha Plant Capsule]] makes it's first appearance in this game. Any player who lands on a space containing the capsule loses half of their [[coin]]s. Two Piranha Plant statues also appear in [[Bowser Nightmare]]. In [[Super Duel Mode]], the Piranha Plant is a weapon the player can use. In [[Triple Jump (minigame)|Triple Jump]]
, a Piranha Plant is located at the 150 foot/50m sign.

Piranha Plants are referenced in [[Odd Card Out]], a species in the board [[Thirsty Gulch]], a part of the [[Piranha Plant Orb]] (functioning the same as before), obstacles in [[Mole-it!]], and the likeness of two lamps in [[Seer Terror]] in ''[[Mario Party 6]]''. Piranha Plants in Odd Card Out are depicted on some cards.
The minigame [[Odd Card Out]] from ''[[Mario Party 6]]'' contains cards with Piranha Plants printed on them. Three Piranha Plants appear in the Solo Mode board [[Thirsty Gulch]], dancing similarly to the Piranha Plants in [[Pop-Star Piranhas]] from ''Mario Party 5''. The [[Piranha Plant Orb]] reappears as an orb that can only be placed on a space. Any player who lands on it will lose half of their coins and give them to the owner of the space. Piranha Plants also appear as obstacles in [[Mole-it!]], where they try to hinder the players progress by chomping on them. Two Piranha Plant-shaped lamps appear next to [[Bowser]]'s table in [[Seer Terror]].

====''Mario Party 7''====
Piranha Plants are a species in [[Herbicidal Maniac]], a background element in [[Wingin' It]], a part of the Piranha Plant Orb (again unchanged), and the likeness of both fountains in the mode Waterfall Battle and statues in [[Pyramid Scheme]] in ''[[Mario Party 7]]''. 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.
The Piranha Plant Orb returns unchanged from ''Mario Party 6''. In [[Herbicidal Maniac]], the goal is to shoot down all Piranha Plants before the opponents does. Hitting a mine will result in more Piranha Plants appearing. Three Piranha Plant-shaped fountains appear in the background in the Waterfall Battle game mode. Four Piranha Plant statues appear in the background in [[Pyramid Scheme]]. If one team in [[Wingin' It]] get's 19m or higher, a Piranha Plant will appear out of the house's chimney.


====''Mario Party 8''====
====''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 also appear in ''[[Mario Party 8]]''. In [[DK's Treetop Temple]] and [[King Boo's Haunted Hideaway]], they act as hazards and take coins from the player, when they land on the [[?

[[File:PiranhaPlantDS.png|130px|thumb|A Piranha Plant's design used for ''Mario Party DS'']]
A Piranha Plant acted as the only non-Koopa boss in ''[[Mario Party DS]]''. In the first stage of Story Mode, the plant terrorized Wiggler's Garden. After the tiny heroes battled it out, the superstar got to play the minigame [[Feed and Seed]] in order to defeat the Piranha Plant. In the minigame, they had to throw Bomb Seeds in its mouth three times. After defeating the Piranha Plant, a Wiggler thanked the tiny heroes and gives them the first Sky Crystal, and the heroes continued their quest for Bowser's Castle.
Piranha is a boss in Story Mode, being fought in the minigame [[Feed and Seed]] at the end of [[Wiggler's Garden]] in ''[[Mario Party DS]]''.

Piranha Plants are obstacles in the minigames [[Speeding Bullets]], [[Piranha Patch]], and [[Wiggler Bounce]], board features associated with [[Unlucky Space]]s, and the likeness of the "Gluttonous Gobbler" constellation in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. The Piranha Plants of Piranha Patch grow from flower buds and deduct a point from the player characters they attack. The Piranha Plants at [[Unlucky Space]]s emerge from the red Warp Pipe next to them to take the captain who landed on it to an underground area with [[Mini Ztar Space]]s.
Piranha Plants appear in minigames featured in ''[[Mario Party 9]]''. In [[Speeding Bullets]], they get out of Warp Pipes and can slow down the [[Bullet Bill]]s when both collide. In [[Piranha Patch]], Piranha Plants grow from normal flower buds and take one point from the players they attack. They also appear as hazards in [[Wiggler Bounce]]. Piranha Plants are also found in red [[Warp Pipe]]s next to [[Unlucky Space]]s where they take the captain down in a cavern with six [[Mini Ztar Space]]s.
 
The Piranha Plant is also given a constellation, named "Gluttonous Gobbler."

Piranha Plants reappear in ''[[Mario Party 10]]'' in some minigames, Golden Piranha Plants also appear in the game.
 
===[[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]]===
====''Mario Party: Star Rush''====
====''Paper Mario''====
Piranha Plants are obstacles in the minigame [[Piranha Plantemonium]] in ''[[Mario Party: Star Rush]]''. They appear alongside their golden counterparts.
In ''[[Paper Mario]]'', Piranha Plants are found in [[Forever Forest]]. Unlike the Piranha Plants of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', who are firmly rooted in place and unable to move, the Piranha Plants of ''Paper Mario'' are shown to be able to move around freely; if a Piranha Plant is alerted to Mario's presence, it will burrow underground and suddenly "burst" to the surface near Mario and try to bite him
as the [[First Strike]]. The Piranha Plants in this game have yellow teeth.


====''Super Mario Party''====
In [[Jade Jungle]], a different type known as the [[Hurt Plant]] is in this game. It attacks just like a Piranha Plant but the main difference between the two is that Hurt Plants can [[poison (status effect)|poison]] Mario with their bite.
Piranha Plants appear in ''[[Super Mario Party]]'' in the minigame [[Miner Setbacks]] as obstacles. They also appear in the Party Plaza initially, where they block Warp Pipes leading to locked game modes. [[Kamek]] removes the Piranha Plants with magic as the player completes requirements, making the pipes and by extension the minigames accessible.


====''Mario Party Superstars''====
Two variations of Piranha Plants, the tropical [[Putrid Piranha]] and frigid [[Frost Piranha]], are introduced in ''Paper Mario''. The boss of [[Mt. Lavalava]], [[Lava Piranha]] is also a gigantic, talking and flaming Piranha Plant.
Piranha Plants reappear on Peach's Birthday Cake in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', although they now only steal 5 coins from opponents that land on their spaces. In this game, they are now grown from [[Piranha Pod]]s thrown by [[Lakitu]]s. [[Big Piranha Plant]]s grown from larger Piranha Pods replace the original Piranha Plant's function, stealing a Star from opponents that land on their spaces.
 
===''Paper Mario'' series===
====''Paper Mario''====
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''====
====''Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door''====
[[File:Pale Piranha.png|thumb|100px|left]]
Though regular Piranha Plants do not appear in this game, four subspecies of Piranha Plants appear in ''[[Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door]]''. There is a subspecies known as [[Pale Piranha]], which is found in [[Boggly Woods]]. Additionally, Putrid Piranhas and Frost Piranhas return from ''Paper Mario'', along with a new, stronger variety, simply called [[Piranha Plant (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Piranha Plant]]. These have the highest HP and attack power and are not even found in the main story, only found in the [[Pit of 100 Trials (Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door)|Pit of 100 Trials]].
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]].

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.
Piranha Plants appear again in the third ''Paper Mario'' game, ''[[Super Paper Mario]]''. In this game, regular Piranhas appear in [[Lineland]], [[Gloam Valley]], and [[The Bitlands]], but not the [[Flipside Pit of 100 Trials|Pit of 100 Trials]]. In this game Piranha Plants have yellow teeth just like in Paper Mario and Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door. [[Tippi]] calls them notorious. The Putrid Piranha and Frost Piranha return as well. The only way to defeat them is by using items. However, as new characters and Pixls are gained, it becomes much easier to defeat them. They have less HP since the last game they were in.

====''Paper Mario: Sticker Star''====
====''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 reappear in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'', having more HP than their previous iterations. They first appear in World 3 as semi-common enemies, but later appear in World 5 as common enemies. Their appearance hasn't changed too much from the previous ''Paper Mario'' games, though they have white teeth and their leaves look like those from the mainstream games. Piranha Plants are very resilient in this game, due to having a lot of HP, are able to home in on Mario's direction outside battle, and guard [[? Blocks]] to prevent Mario from getting the stickers. Piranha Plants can attack by biting Mario, as like in the other Paper Mario games. Piranha Plants also have a new attack to spit gas at Mario. The spit attack has low attack power but it can make Mario [[dizzy]]. They can also dig underground to dodge attacks for one turn so that way Mario's attacks would miss. Not even a POW Block will damage it in this state. Like the other Paper Mario games, Piranha Plants cannot be stomped on unless an [[Sticker (Paper Mario: Sticker Star)|Iron Jump sticker]] is used; this does not apply, however, if they are [[soggy]], [[Sleep|asleep]] or [[Crumpled]]. [[Fire Piranha Plant|Fire Piranhas]] are also seen in this game. Since Piranha Plants have a lot of Heart Points, the Slaphammer and [[Boomerang]] stickers was a good choice if  they come in groups of two. They are aided by enemies that have more than 10 HP which are [[Shy Guy]]s, [[Snifit]]s, [[Hammer Bro]]s, [[Poison Blooper]]s, [[Spike Top]]s and [[Jungle Guy]]s. Also 2 Piranha Plants assist [[Wiggler Segment]] #3 so they must be defeated.
Piranha Plants return in ''[[Paper Mario: Color Splash]]''. They are encountered in [[Redpepper Crater]] and [[Mossrock Theater]].

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.
A few Piranha Plants appear in ''[[Mario Golf: Toadstool Tour]]'' on the [[Bowser Badlands]] course. They dwell in pipes, and if the ball rolls into their pipe they take it and spit it out, likely causing it to fall into lava.

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.

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.

Piranha Plants appear as enemies in the [[Beanbean International Airport]], where they interrupt the landing process of the [[Toad Express]]. These Piranha Plants must be killed by Luigi's [[Thunderhand]] after dousing them in water.


''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' includes lots of Piranha Beans as enemies, while [[Fire Stalking Piranha Plant]]s appear as recruitable allies.
A giant Piranha Plant, which oddly hatches from an egg, appears as a boss in the Beanbean International Airport. This Piranha Plant, named [[Mom Piranha]], had the ability to shoot energy beams and change colors (and weaknesses), and could summon Piranha Plants of the same color. Later on in ''Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga'', a Piranha Plant named [[Piranha Bean]] appears as a mini-boss. Oddly, Piranha Bean had the ability to shrink anything it eats.

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]].
Piranha Plants reappear as enemies in the ''[[Mario & Luigi (series)|Mario & Luigi]]'' series in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Dream Team]]''. In the field when Mario and [[Dreamy Luigi]] are in the vicinity, Piranha Plants spit fire in the direction it faces upon coming out several times before retreating back into the ground to hide for a moment, repeating this process indefinitely on the same spot. If the {{conjecturaltext|Luiginary Gravity|Luiginary Work}} is used, the Piranha Plants all retreat underground briefly as the gravity changes.

====''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''====
In battle, a Piranha Plant may spit a large fireball or a [[Fly Guy]] at Mario, who must jump over or idle under these respective objects to avoid taking damage. Piranha Plants may spit out [[Nipper Dandelion]]s that become [[Nipper Plant]]s who assist them in battle from the background. While Nipper Plants are still alive, a Piranha Plant can spit a fireball towards the Nipper Plants, who will bounce the fireball about until each Nipper Plant has touched the fireball, where the last Nipper Plant to touch it sends the fireball towards Mario, who must hammer it at the Piranha Plant to avoid taking damage.
Piranha Plants do not appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', though Fire Piranha Plants and their [[Paper Fire Piranha Plant|paper variant]] do.


====''Mario & Luigi: Brothership''====
Piranha Plants are weak to Fire attacks, and thus take critical damage from the [[Luiginary Flame]].
Piranha Plants appear as enemies in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Brothership]]'' on [[Skorcheen Island]] alongside [[Glohm Piranha Plant]]s. In battle, Piranha Plants can spit out a spiked ball and blow it in the air similar to a Ptooie. If a Piranha Plant is attacked while it is blowing a spiked ball, the spiked ball falls on it and deals 50 damage. Otherwise, the Piranha Plant blows the spiked ball towards a bro. who must counter with the hammer.
{{br}}
 
Piranha Plants can also attack by lunging themselves at a bro. which must be repelled with the hammer, although the Piranha Plant may attack several times in one turn. All Piranha Plants in the battle may each move around and spit a fireball at the closest bro.; the order the Piranha Plants attack is the order they popped out of the ground prior to attacking.


===''Yoshi Topsy-Turvy''===
Piranha plants have a look alike enemy found in [[Dreamy Somnom Woods]] known as the [[Spritzbloom]].
Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]''. It holds Yoshi in its mouth for a few seconds before spitting him out, similarly as in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''.
 
===''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''===
===''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.
Piranha Plants appear as rare enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They act like how they did in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. They could be defeated with Perry or by using Rage, but could not be jumped on or picked up. Getting too close or attempting to jump on it results in Peach being swallowed and chewed on temporarily before being spit back out. There is also a new variety of them called [[Glad Piranha Plant]]s, [[Ptooie|normal]] and [[Glad Ptooie]]s, and [[Nipper Plant|normal]] and [[Sad Nipper Plant]]s also appear in ''Super Princess Peach''. There was also a reappearance of [[Petey Piranha]], although he was called "Boss P. Plant" (short for "Boss Piranha Plant") in the game's glossary.


===''Mario Baseball'' series===
===''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.

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]].
====''Mario Super Sluggers''====
Piranha Plants reappear in the next installment, ''[[Mario Super Sluggers]]''. Here, they reside in Yoshi Park again. This time however, they can take a ball, go in the pipe, and transport it to another part of the field. They can also stun any fielders who make contact with the Piranha Plants.

===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===

[[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===
===''Mario vs. Donkey Kong''===
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]].

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]].
[[File:Piranha Plant Captain Rainbow.png|200px|thumb|left|The Piranha Plant in ''Captain Rainbow''.]]
A single Piranha Plant also appears in the game ''[[Captain Rainbow]]'' in the garden of Lip's house. After [[Birdo]], it is the second ''Mario'' series character appearing in the game, but it only has a minor role. The fairy Lip takes care of the Piranha Plant.


===''Dr. Mario World''===
===''Mario Maker''===
[[File:DrMarioWorld Piranha Plant.png|thumb|Artwork of Dr. Piranha Plant from ''Dr. Mario World'']]
{{newsubject|section=yes}}
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
Piranha Plants will reappear in ''[[Mario Maker]]'' as enemies that the player can put into the course. If wings are attached to them they become {{conjecturaltext|Para Piranha Plants}}.<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AmdHlh4xylo</ref>
 
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]].

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.

Most bios of Piranha Plants point out their plant-like characteristics and their tendency to bite down on objects. Some bios also mention certain derived species of Piranha Plant.
''An old enemy of Mario, these large carnivorous plants live in pipes, just waiting to munch on anyone who might try to jump into their territory. These hungry plants can be either red, green, or a larger purple. Mario can stun them by throwing [[Star Bits]] at them or kill them by jumping on their heads.''
