'''River Piranha Plants''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are a variant of [[Piranha Plant]] that greatly resemble the [[Jumping Piranha Plant]] of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' in design, as well as real-life floating plants, like {{iw|wikipedia|Lemnoideae|duckweeds}} and {{iw|wikipedia|Limnobium laevigatum|frogbit}}, although unlike Jumping Piranha Plants, they appear to lack teeth.

River Piranha Plants are enemies in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They appear in [[World 5-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5-1]] as common enemies. When [[Mario]] is not around, they blow green spike balls like a [[Ptooie]]'s method of attacking. When Mario approaches, they suck in and bring the spike ball to their lips and slowly blow it upwards to attack. Just like regular Piranha Plants, they can be defeated with [[fireball]]s or a [[Super Star|Star]]. Hitting it with an [[iceball]] will also freeze it in place.  The spike ball itself can be taken out with a shell or the Star, after which the River Piranha Plant will sweat and panic in place, unable to do anything.

River Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', and their [[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe|port]]. In the former game, they appear only in [[Fliprus Lake]] and [[Seesaw Bridge]], and in ''New Super Luigi U'', River Piranha Plants appear in [[Spinning Sandstones]] and [[Fliprus Floes]]. River Piranha Plants behave identically as before.

River Piranha Plants are enemies in ''[[Super Mario Run]]'', starting with the version 3.0.4 update. In the World Tour mode, they appear only in the level [[Spike Bar Jungle]].

River Piranha Plants (just called '''River Piranhas''') are mentioned briefly by {{iw|icaruspedia|Viridi}} during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Piranha Plant]] in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.
