'''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.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii[edit]

River Piranha Plants are enemies in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They appear in World 5-1 as common enemies. When Mario is not around, they blow green spike balls like a Ptooie's method of attacking. 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.

New Super Mario Bros. U / New Super Luigi U / New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe[edit]

River Piranha Plants are enemies in New Super Mario Bros. U, New Super Luigi U, and their port. In the former game, they appear only in Fliprus Lake and Seesaw Bridge, and in New Super Luigi U, River Piranha Plants appear in Spinning Sandstones and Fliprus Floes. River Piranha Plants behave identically as before.
