A '''Wild Ptooie Piranha''', also known as a '''Wild Ptooie Piranha Plant''',<ref>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent and Terry Munson|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|language=en-us|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=97}}</ref> '''Ptooie Piranha Plant''',<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|date=December 19, 2006|title=''Yoshi's Island DS'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|isbn=0-7615-5576-5|language=en-us|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|page=117, 118, 121, 187, 210, 225, 226, 229, 249, 250, 252, 278, 280, 281, 316}}</ref> or '''Green Piranha Plant''',<ref>''[[Prima Games|Playing With Super Power: Nintendo Super NES Classics eGuide]]'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island'' Confidential Information Tab.</ref> is an [[List of enemies|enemy]] in the [[Yoshi's Island (series)|''Yoshi's Island'' series]]. This green [[Piranha Plant]] shoots spiky objects, often [[Pokey (projectile)|Pokey]]s, at a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. Wild Ptooie Piranhas are usually depicted with tongues of the same color as their heads.

Wild Ptooie Piranhas are enemies in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' (as well as [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|its reissue]]) and ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]''. Wild Ptooie Piranhas spit three consecutive yellow [[Pokey (projectile)|Needlenose]]s in the direction of a Yoshi, then rest for a brief moment before repeating the attack. The Needlenoses are shot in upward arcs of varying lengths; the first two Needlenoses are always shot at a close distance, while the third one is sent farther. If a Yoshi comes into contact with a Wild Ptooie Piranha, it will act like a regular [[Piranha Plant|Wild Piranha]], grabbing him in its mouth for a while and causing him to lose [[Baby Mario]]. Wild Ptooie Piranhas can be attacked by throwing objects at them, such as [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s or enemies, and require three such attacks to defeat. They turn yellow with the first hit, then red with the second. They can also be defeated instantly by rolling a [[Chomp Rock]] onto them. In ''Yoshi's Island DS'' only, Wild Ptooie Piranhas can be defeated instantly from one of [[Baby DK]]'s eggs.

As shown by [[List of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island pre-release and unused content|prototype builds]] of the game, Wild Ptooie Piranhas were originally intended to spit [[Spiked Fun Guy (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|Spiked Fun Guy]]s.<ref>{{cite|author=TCRF|title=[[tcrf:Proto:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/ys_romX_0/World 5#World 5-4|Proto:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/ys_romX_0/World 5 § World 5-4]]|publisher=The Cutting Room Floor|accessdate=October 30, 2021|language=en}}</ref>

===''Yoshi Touch & Go''===

Wild Ptooie Piranhas are enemies in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'' that spit [[Spiny Egg]]s, which can be destroyed with an egg or a tap on the Touch Screen.

===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===

Wild Ptooie Piranhas reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', acting fairly similarly to previous games. Unlike previously, however, when they are hit with a [[yarn ball]], they do not change to a different color. Their projectiles ([[Pokey Pom]]s and [[Shy Guy]]s) also roll along the ground.

Wild Ptooie Piranhas are mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for Piranha Plant in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''. Piranha Plant’s yellow costume also resembles a yellow Wild Ptooie Piranha.
