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.

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. | ||

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. | ||

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.
