- “You make me so mad I could spit!”
- —Ptooie, The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3
Ptooies ("Fuufuu Pakkun" in Japan) are a type of Piranha Plant that have the ability to walk, although some of them are stationed in pipes. These plants have appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Princess Peach, and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.
History
Super Mario Bros. 3
Ptooies made their debut in Super Mario Bros. 3 as regular enemies. A Ptooie can be identified by the spiked ball it suspends in the air over its mouth. Occasionally, Ptooies will spit the spiked ball high into the air in order to inflict damage on passing travelers. As with standard Piranha Plants, Ptooies can be destroyed with fireballs, hammers, Koopa Shells, or Raccoon Mario or Tanooki Mario's tail.
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3
Ptooies made a few appearances in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, where they would always attack Mario and/or his friends on sight. Unlike in the game, where they were limited to shooting a single spiked ball into the air, Ptooies could shoot a whole barrage of spiked balls in any direction.
Ptooies in the show were capable of speaking in the episode "Never Koop a Koopa", despite the fact that most members of the Piranha Plant family never speak at all.
Super Princess Peach
In Super Princess Peach, if Peach uses Rage to pound the ground or simply uses Poundbrella nearby, the ball will be lost, but Ptooie will survive. They will then simply move back and forth slowly until defeated. Even without the ball, Ptooies cannot be stomped.
New Super Mario Bros. Wii
In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, similar enemies called Stalking Piranha Plants and River Piranha Plants appear in World 5 as common enemies and in World 6 as rare enemies.
Trivia
- The name "Ptooie" is derived from eponymous onomatopoeia for spitting, likely in reference to their ability to balance maces with their mouths.
- In Super Princess Peach, Ptooies had a green skin coloration similar to the Wild Ptooie Piranha, a sub-species of that enemy.
- In Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars, Piranha Plants walk on their roots, somewhat resembling Ptooies.
