Piranha and Pumpkin Plant.

The Jumping Piranha Plant is a matured Piranha Pest that lodged in a pipe instead of rooting in the ground. So, instead of losing mobility, Jumping Piranha Plants keep the same body as the Piranha Pest, only losing flight. They wait in their pipes for prey to approach, and then jump high out of the pipe. In case they miss the prey, they slowly lower, so as to catch the prey on the retaliation. In some areas, when they jump out of their pipes they spit two fireballs.

Jumping Piranha Plants appear only in Super Mario World, although the Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island enemy Hootie the Blue Fish bears resemblence to them.

Jumping Pumpkin Plant

Upon the magic of World 9 (Special World) being released onto Dinosaur Land, Jumping Piranha Plants turn into Jumping Pumpkin Plants. In other words, their buds are sealed by a Jack-o-Lantern. Other than that, they pose no more threat than a Jumping Piranha Plant.
