Template:Species-infobox The Jumping Piranha Plant (Propeller Pakkun in Japan) is a type of Piranha Plant that is not rooted to the ground.
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario World
Jumping Piranha Plants made their debut in Super Mario World as the most frequent Piranha Plant enemies in the game. They wait in their pipes for prey to approach and then jump high out of the pipe or bushes. In case they miss the prey, they slowly lower, so as to catch the prey on the retaliation. In some cases, they also spit two fireballs, which may shows the relation to the Venus Fire Trap from Super Mario Bros. 3.
Upon the magic of the 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.
Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
Jumping Piranha Plants appear in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, the GBA remake of Super Mario Bros. 3 (which is the prequel Super Mario World). They appear only on World-e's e-Reader accessible level Koopahari Desert of the game. The Jumping Piranha Plants behave exactly similar to that of Super Mario World, though their appearance is pretty much identical to Super Mario Bros. 3 's original Piranha Plant species, except their propeller-like leaf.
Super Mario World (television series)
It has been requested that this article be rewritten and expanded to include more information.
A Jumping Piranha Plant made only one appearance in the Super Mario World Cartoon.
Trivia
Jumping Piranha Plants appear only in Super Mario World, although the Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island enemy Hootie the Blue Fish bears resemblance to them. Piranha Pests from Yoshi's Story also share a resemblance to it.
