Much like Dark Nokonoko, This is a derived name candidate with inconsistent official localization. Wonder Piranha Plant, or simply Wonder Piranha? The former feels like a more "safe" option, contracting the name could make it sound more "official" than warranted. On the other hand, the latter name is consistent with Cloud Piranhas who have a similar role in the same game, and they do bear a noteworthy resemblance to Piranha Creepers.--PopitTart (talk) 16:04, December 21, 2024 (EST)
- Should also mention that the Trottin' Piranha Plant are called "Run Run Pakkun" in Japanese, too.
