It seems that a fair amount of articles on this wiki whose titles are apparently derived from foreign sources are named without proper official citations. In a small effort to minimize unsourced / conjectural pages, I propose merging this enemy with Fire Piranha Plant. ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' directly took the basic gameplay, concepts, and certain obstacles from the Game Boy ''Donkey Kong''. The Fire Piranha Plant of ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' is almost identical to the "Dolly" flower, spitting the same projectiles at a similar rhythm. From these two related games alone, there isn't much to tell them apart except for their bud designs. | It seems that a fair amount of articles on this wiki whose titles are apparently derived from foreign sources are named without proper official citations.

Following up on the above, it turns out that the (now-sourced) ''Dōryī'' are '''not''' quite the equivalent of Fire Piranha Plants in ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'', but rather ''Tane Pakkun'' ("Seed Piranha") [http://www.hit-japan.com/book10/P1710539.JPG according to Japanese guides.] The Fire Piranha Plant references must be changed when referring to that game, but is ''Tane Pakkun'' considered its own enemy compared to ''Dōryī''? Outside of the bud redesign and gaining Piranha Plant association, they seem to be practically identical enemies, spitting seeds at the same rate and rhythm. The article mentions that the ''Dōryī'' enemies from ''Game Boy Donkey Kong'' can be harmlessly touched whereas the ''Tane Pakkun'' enemies from ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' cannot and will result in damage, but the same thing applies to Monchee (which also have different appearances), and the Garbage Can enemy variants are renamed as well (Dust Man/ Bucketman). So, should ''Dōryī'' be renamed to ''Tane Pakkun'', or should they be separate articles?
