Talk:Piranha Plant (Pit of 100 Trials)

Shouldn't this be merged with Piranha Plant? They're basically the same.:/--UM3000

See Talk:Pale Piranha. Hello, I'm Time Turner.

this has so many issues.gloombas arent merged with gombas,dark puffs arent merged with ruff puffs.this is a Sub-Species of Piranha plant,so it needs its article fixed up and the redirects to piranha plant deleted,with Piranha Plant(Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door) merged with Piranha Plant

I've looked around and, aside from their names being different between regions, I still don't see very many real reasons as to why these Piranha Plants are split from normal Piranha Plants. Recently, we've had many proposals centered around the naming aspect of many enemies and all those have made good points that can be brought right here: naming is not a sole deciding factor in whether or not an enemy is the same or not and we should go more with what makes the most sense. In this case, these guys look like Piranha Plants, they act like Piranha Plants (maybe not sprouting from pipes, but the Piranha Plants in Paper Mario and Paper Mario: Sticker Star didn't either and they're considered normal Piranha Plants), their English name is Piranha Plant, three solid signs that these guys are Piranha Plants. Now I'm not saying that the English name should have the dominant say in this cause, cause I'm aware that English is the only name that reads Piranha Plant, but the naming isn't the main point: I'm going more by looks and acts; which are identical to Piranha Plants.

Oppose

1. Binarystep (talk) These are referred to ingame (in both Goombella's tattle and the Log) as being "the strongest of Piranha Plants", indicating they're a more powerful relative.
2. Walkazo (talk) - Per Binarystep: the tattle clearly states "It may look like a normal Piranha Plant, but don't be fooled!", so let's not be fooled! (Unlike the English writers - but the Japanese and PAL writers heeded the tattle, at least, lending support for the pro-split option, despite the proposal's eagerness to dismiss the other names.)

Comments

@Binarystep: Well multiple Piranha Plant sub species appear in game so it's possible she was referring to the various Piranha Plants found in game. Tails777 Talk to me!
