Much like [[Dark Nokonoko]], This is a derived name candidate with inconsistent official localization. '''Wonder Piranha Plant''', or simply '''Wonder Piranha'''? The former feels like a more "safe" option, contracting the name could make it sound more "official" than warranted. On the other hand, the latter name is consistent with [[Cloud Piranha]]s who have a similar role in the same game, and they do bear a noteworthy resemblance to [[Piranha Creeper]]s.--[[User:PopitTart|PopitTart]] ([[User talk:PopitTart|talk]]) 16:04, December 21, 2024 (EST) | Much like [[Dark Nokonoko]], This is a derived name candidate with inconsistent official localization.

:Should also mention that the [[Trottin' Piranha Plant]] are called "Run Run Pakkun" in Japanese, too. {{User:Arend/sig}} 17:38, December 21, 2024 (EST) | :Should also mention that the [[Trottin' Piranha Plant]] are called "Run Run Pakkun" in Japanese, too. {{User:Arend/sig}} 17:38, December 21, 2024 (EST) | ||
::Personally, I think '''Wonder Piranha''' is a more direct translation and it is the one I support. However, I personally would have done that for the other Piranha Plant enemies impacted by this proposal, so my perspective could be biased. - [[User:Nintendo101|Nintendo101]] ([[User talk:Nintendo101|talk]]) 08:50, December 22, 2024 (EST) | ::Personally, I think '''Wonder Piranha''' is a more direct translation and it is the one I support.

:::The vast majority of Piranha Plant enemies don't have "Flower" in their Japanese names, just "Packun". One notable exception being Big Piranha Plant. But in English, many of them have the full "Piranha Plant". Considering this game also has [[Melon Piranha Plant]], I'd personally go with "Wonder Piranha Plant" here.
