'''River Piranha Plants''' are [[List of enemies|enemies]] introduced in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''. They are a variant of [[Piranha Plant]] that greatly resemble the [[Jumping Piranha Plant]] of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' in design, as well as real-life floating plants, like {{iw|wikipedia|Lemnoideae|duckweeds}} and {{iw|wikipedia|Limnobium laevigatum|frogbit}}, although unlike Jumping Piranha Plants, they appear to lack teeth.
'''River Piranha Plants''' are sub-species of [[Piranha Plant]]s that appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'' and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They appear in [[World 5 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)#World 5-1|World 5-1]] as common enemies in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They also appear in [[Bridge over Poisoned Waters]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. As their name implies, they live in rivers. When [[Mario]] isn't 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 defeated with [[Fire Flower|fireballs]] or a [[Star|Starman]]. The spike ball itself can be taken out with a shell or the Starman, after which the River Piranha Plant will sweat and panic in place, unable to do anything.
