To be blunt, this page in its current state is bad. While it was originally created to cover the item from 3D World, as often happens it ended up being a page covering every generic instance of a Piranha Plant appearing in a pot. An article for that purpose doesn't need to exist, as Piranha Plants behave effectively the same whether they're in a pipe, a pot, or just planted in the ground, and if unchained Chain Chomps are on the way out, we don't need to keep this and it should be merged with Piranha Plant entirely, with the exception of its appearance in Mario Tennis Aces which would be merged to Fire Piranha Plant instead. Alternatively, we trim this article down to only cover potted Piranha Plants as an item, leaving only 3D World, the Mario Kart series, and Treasure Tracker. While this isn't entirely consistent with how we treat other enemies-turned-items such as Bullet Bill, Chain Chomp, and Boo, it would return this article to its original intended state and make it more useful than a generic catch-all. I'm personally fine with either option, as long as something is done. | To be blunt, this page in its current state is bad.

I'd like to propose restoring this baddie's [[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]], [[Mario Party 3]], [[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]], and [[Mario Party: The Top 100]] credentials. They were in pots, either being weapons, an unfortunate victim of one of [[Spawny]]'s fusions with another [[Rabbid]], or just potted plants to grow in the rain. It's just not right to erase history just because they're named ''Piranha Plants'', when in reality, they're just different because of being in a pot. I hope Waluigi can undo the error he has made, because as they say, "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it".--[[User:Pyroman99|Pyroman99]] ([[User talk:Pyroman99|talk]]) 16:57, July 5, 2020 (EDT) | I'd like to propose restoring this baddie's [[The Super Mario Bros.

:I don't appreciate you calling my proposal an "error" just because you personally disagree with it, but that's not the point here. I suggest you read the arguments in the proposal and the [[Talk:Piranha Plant (potted)#Potential for merging?|discussion that preceded it]]. The point of this page in its current state is for potted Piranha Plants as an item, not any generic occurrence of a Piranha Plant being in a pot. If you still feel like the other sections need to be added back, you can make another proposal to undo it. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 17:11, July 5, 2020 (EDT) | :I don't appreciate you calling my proposal an "error" just because you personally disagree with it, but that's not the point here.
