Ptooies, also referred to as '''Ptooie Plants''',<ref>{{cite|title=''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13|author=Tilden, Gail, et al.|page=54|language=en-us|publisher=Nintendo of America|date=June 1990}}</ref> make their debut in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' as regular enemies. A Ptooie can be identified by the [[Spike Ball|spiked ball]] it suspends in the air over its mouth. Occasionally, Ptooies will blow the spiked ball high into the air, letting passing travelers jump between them. As with standard Piranha Plants, Ptooies can be destroyed with [[fireball]]s, [[hammer]]s, [[Koopa Shell]]s, or [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] or [[Tanooki Mario]]'s tail whips. Additionally, the spiked ball can be crushed by Tanooki Mario (in [[Statue Mario|statue form]]) for 2000 points.

A Ptooie sometimes blows their spiked ball high into the air, making the player character able to jump between them. Either a [[fireball]], [[Koopa Shell]], [[hammer]], or a tail whip from [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon]] or [[Tanooki Mario]] can defeat a Ptooie. Tanooki Mario can crush a Ptooie's spiked ball as a [[Statue Mario|statue]] for 2000 points.

Ptooies make a few appearances in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they always attack [[Mario]] and/or his friends on sight. They are sometimes used as guns. Unlike in the game, where they are limited to blowing a single spiked ball in the air, Ptooies can shoot a whole barrage of spiked balls in any direction.  
Ptooies appear in a few episodes of ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', always on the offense against [[Mario]] and the other protagonists. They can shoot spiked balls in any direction. "[[Never Koop a Koopa]]" shows they are capable of speech.
 
Ptooies in the show are capable of speaking in the episode "[[Never Koop a Koopa]]," despite the fact that most members of the Piranha Plant family never speak at all.

Two Ptooies appear in ''[[Koopa Capers]]'', presumably brought to [[Dark Land]] by [[Wendy|Wendy O. Koopa]], who needs one to season a potion she intends to create. Encountered by [[Luigi]] in a [[Fortress]], the plumber escapes the plants by jumping over them while absentmindedly wondering what they are doing wandering around in a dark and dank fortress, instead of being outside.

Ptooies are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. They are depicted as light green skin, similarly to [[Wild Ptooie Piranha]]s, and were given a variant named [[Glad Ptooie]]s. If [[Princess Peach]] uses [[Rage]] to pound the ground or simply uses [[Poundbrella]] nearby, a Ptooie will lose its ball, but it is not affected otherwise. Ptooies will then simply move back and forth slowly until defeated. Even without the ball, Ptooies cannot be stomped.
Ptooies are enemies in ''[[Super Princess Peach]]''. The game changes them to light green, like [[Wild Ptooie Piranha]]s, and adds the variant [[Glad Ptooie]]s. Either [[Poundbrella]] or the [[Rage]] vibe from [[Princess Peach|Peach]] causes Ptooie to lose its ball before moving around without it.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', [[Piranha Plant]] can produce a spiked ball and hover it in place in the same fashion as a Ptooie. In addition, it can direct the spiked ball to other fighters and attack them. This Piranha Plant also has feet like the Ptooie, but does not leave its flower pot in order to move. On the [[Palutena's Temple]] stage, Ptooies are mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] during [[Smash Taunt#Palutena's Guidance|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for Piranha Plant.
