'''River Piranha Plants''' are variants of [[Piranha Plant]]s that appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' via an update (3.0.4) and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]'', and greatly resemble the [[Jumping Piranha Plant]] of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' in design.

As their name implies, they live in rivers. When [[Mario]] is not around, they blow green spike balls like a [[Ptooie]]'s method of attacking. When Mario approaches, however, they suck in and bring the spike ball to their lips and slowly blow it upwards to attack. Just like regular Piranha Plants, they can be defeated with [[Fire Flower|fireballs]] or a [[Super Star]]. The spike ball itself can be taken out with a shell or the Super Star, after which the River Piranha Plant will sweat and panic in place, unable to do anything.

When Mario approaches, they suck in and bring the spike ball to their lips and slowly blow it upwards to attack. Just like regular Piranha Plants, they can be defeated with fireballs or a Star. Hitting it with an iceball will also freeze it in place. The spike ball itself can be taken out with a shell or the Star, after which the River Piranha Plant will sweat and panic in place, unable to do anything.
