History
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam
Paper Fire Piranha Plants attack in stacks, though they occasionally split apart. When split apart, they can attack by spitting fireballs into the air, creating a large fireball that differs in size depending on how many Paper Fire Piranha Plants are present. They then blow the fireball into one of the Mario Brothers, which must be countered with a hammer. While in a stack, Paper Fire Piranha Plants can attack by coming out of the ground in front of the brothers. If the Paper Fire Piranha Plants turn sideways in front of one of the bros., they do not attack. Unlike regular Fire Piranha Plants, Paper Fire Piranha Plants cannot be safely jumped on, though dashing into one with the Dash Socks does not damage the bros. Paper Fire Piranha Plants are found during the second visit to Twinsy Tropics.
Rare, shiny variants can also appear in place of the regular Paper Fire Piranha Plants in the same area. These Paper Fire Piranha Plants have greater stats and always drop either an Ultra Mushroom or a Shiny Battle Card when defeated, though their methods of attack remain the same.
Paper Fire Piranha Plants are the only Paper enemies to not appear alongside their regular counterparts, not counting Paper enemies whose regular counterparts are absent from this game.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Paper Fire Piranha Plants (simply referred to as Paper Fire Piranhas) are mentioned briefly by Viridi during Palutena's Guidance dialogue for Piranha Plant.
