Piranha Plants (also known as Piranha Flowers[1][2][3] and Piranhas and misspelled as pirana plants[4][5] in early manuals and Pirahna Flower[6]) are enemies introduced in Super Mario Bros. They are large, carnivorous plants based on Venus flytraps. The head of a Piranha Plant is most commonly either red or green with multiple other colors. Piranha Plants originally appeared only in pipes, emerging from them with a biting animation, but have also been encountered outside of them since. Piranha Plants can talk in some appearances. Certain Piranha Plants have animal-like bodies, most noticeably their leader Petey Piranha, making them capable of walking.
History
Super Mario series
Super Mario Bros.
Piranha Plants appear in Super Mario Bros. They are first encountered in World 1-2. Piranha were supposed to appear in every vertical pipe beyond the first level, but a glitch prevents them from appearing in every one, like in World 8-4, where the water tiles overlap the Piranha Plant in the original version only; if the Piranha Plant had been visible, the underwater palette would have rendered it gray. Piranha Plants do not emerge from pipes if the player character stands either adjacent to or on top of them, not unlike Turtle Cannons. Piranha Plants can be defeated only from either a fireball or the effects of a Starman. Piranha Plants do not flip upside-down when defeated, unlike other enemies except Buzzy Beetles. Piranha Plants emerge from pipes in Warp Zones but vanish the instant that "WELCOME TO WARP ZONE!" appears onscreen.[7] Piranha Plants emerge from the last pipe at the end of every level taking place mostly underground or underwater.
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
Piranha Plants return in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. The normal type is encountered in the first three worlds, but levels from World 4-1 onward replace them with the red type. The red variation is faster and still emerges from its pipe if the player character stands by it, but not if they are on top. An upside-down Piranha Plant emerges regardless of whether Mario is underneath their pipe. There are Piranha Plants that emerge from upside-down pipes, and they are first encountered in World 5-1. There are Piranha Plants encountered underwater in World 9-1 and World 9-2. Piranha Plants in All Night Nippon: Super Mario Bros. were cosmetically altered to become Pakkun OkaP.
Super Mario Bros. 3 / Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3
Piranha Plants appear in Super Mario Bros. 3. They return in red and green varieties, but the only difference is that red Piranha Plants have an additional layer of leaves. Piranha Plants behave similarly as before, though Koopa shells, hammers, and the tail of Raccoon Mario or Tanooki Mario are additional ways to defeat them. A few variants make their first appearance, including Venus Fire Traps, Piranhacus Giganticus, Ptooies, Walking Piranhas, and Munchers. The Piranha Plants that move in and out of upside-down pipes are named Hanging Piranha Plant.[8] Some red Piranha Plants emerge from horizontal pipes but have only one set of leaves. The king of Pipe Land is transformed into a Piranha Plant in the Family Computer and Nintendo Entertainment System version only. An upside-down variant of the Piranha Plant with a red head and one layer of green leaves appears in the World-e levels Piped Full of Plants and Treacherous Halls in Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3.
Super Mario Land
Piranha Plants return in Super Mario Land in both upward- and downward-facing varieties. They can be defeated with a superball as they poke their head out of a pipe. Upward Piranha Plants give 100 points when defeated, while the upside-down variety gives 400 points instead. The French instruction booklet of the game's original release erroneously refers to Piranha Plants as cannibalistic[9] in reference to their "man-eating" nature, noted in other localizations of the booklet.[10][11]
Super Mario World
Piranha Plants return in Super Mario World. From this game forward, red has become the standard color of all Piranha Plants, and the green ones appear only at the end of a growing beanstalk. Besides Munchers returning, another variant was added, Jumping Piranha Plant, which are significantly more common. The regular Piranha Plant, also known as Piranha in a Pipe,[12] appears only in Vanilla Dome 3, where all eight emerge from upside-down pipes. Unlike before, Piranha Plants retreat into their pipe whenever the player character is nearby. Piranha Plants are defeated from either a fireball, a shell, being hit by a cape, or being eaten by Yoshi.
An upward-facing Piranha Plant was scrapped during development. The graphics of the right-side-up stem were overwritten by an upside-down red Cheep Cheep.
Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins
Piranha Plants return in Super Mario Land 2: 6 Golden Coins. They are no different from before. Besides the returning Venus Fire Traps, the game adds Piranha Plant statues, which sometimes attack by shooting balls of fire.
Super Mario 64 / Super Mario 64 DS
Piranha Plants are enemies in Super Mario 64 and Super Mario 64 DS. They are depicted with green lips in the original version, later changed to white in remakes. Piranha Plants appear only in Whomp's Fortress, as well as in Goomboss Battle and Sunshine Isles in the remake. Piranha Plants have a sleepy nature,[13] which is why they are always found asleep; during this, a lullaby plays. When a Piranha Plant is either touched or approached quickly by the player character, it wakes up and starts to bite in the direction of the player character, though they stay asleep if approached slowly. Piranha Plants take away three health points if they bite the player character, or four if he is without his cap (excluding Yoshi in the remake). Three Piranha Plants are included in an additional area of Whomp's Fortress in the remake, but they are different in that they emerge from the grass when approached. After they emerge, they will then act like normal sleeping Piranha Plants for the rest of a mission.
Piranha Plants can be defeated mainly from being punched or ground-pounded while asleep, or from one of Yoshi's Eggs in the remake. A defeated Piranha Plant shrinks as pink bubbles fly out from its body, and releases a Blue Coin as a spoil. Once the player walks far enough, however, they will respawn.
Besides Piranha Plants, there are Venus Fire Traps, including small and large versions encountered mainly in Tiny-Huge Island.
Super Mario Sunshine
Piranha Plants, also called Pakkun Flowers,[14] appear in Super Mario Sunshine. They are depicted after their appearance from Super Mario 64, since their lips are green, but they lack teeth. Piranha Plants are encountered only in Bianco Hills. They pop out of the ground and spit black, white-spotted projectiles to attack Mario. A Piranha Plant is defeated if enough water from FLUDD is sprayed into its body until it blows up. Various Piranha Plant members make their debut, including the recurring mini-boss Proto Piranha, the boss and future recurring character Petey Piranha, and enemies named Piranhabons.
New Super Mario Bros.
Piranha Plants appear in New Super Mario Bros. They retain their attack pattern introduced in Super Mario Bros., but with an added chomping sound effect. Some Piranha Plants appear in the ground, as well as on conveyor belts, which move them around. Two Piranha Plant varieties return, including Venus Fire Traps and Super Piranha Plants.
Super Mario Galaxy
Piranha Plants return in Super Mario Galaxy. They rest pointing upwards, and can be found in flower patches as well as pipes, though they act the same regardless of their location. They attack by trying to bite the player character. A Piranha Plant is defeated from either a stomp, a spin, or being touched by Rainbow Mario. It is stunned temporarily if hit by a Star Bit. Defeating some Piranha Plants is required so that a Sproutle Vine can grow in their place. The game adds Spiny Piranha Plants, a large, purple variant that slams its head to attack, and the boss Dino Piranha, as well as a black-colored variant of it.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii
Piranha Plants return in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Pipe-dwelling Piranha Plants no longer have a chomping sound effect, unlike in New Super Mario Bros. Piranha Plants are defeated from an Ice Ball, though Piranha Plants encased in ice cannot be picked up. Piranha Plants cannot hurt a Yoshi if jumped on. Besides the returning Venus Fire Traps, Super Piranha Plants, Munchers, and Big Fire Piranhas, the game gives Piranha Plants another two variants, Stalking Piranha Plants and River Piranha Plants.
Super Mario Galaxy 2
Piranha Plants appear in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They behave identically to their appearance in Super Mario Galaxy, and once again are usually surrounded by a clump of flowers. Besides the returning Super Piranha Plant and Spiny Piranha Plant, the latter receives a variant named Prickly Piranha Plant. Both Dino Piranhas also return, and similar boss to them is introduced, Peewee Piranha.

Super Mario 3D Land
Piranha Plants return in Super Mario 3D Land. They are modeled after their appearance in Super Mario Galaxy and its sequel. Besides the returning Fire Piranha Plants, the game introduces an ink-spitting variety named Inky Piranha Plants.
New Super Mario Bros. 2
Piranha Plants return in New Super Mario Bros. 2. They behave like in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. Two Piranha Plant varieties were introduced, Bone Piranha Plants and Gold Piranha Plants, with Piranha Plants becoming the latter while a Gold Ring is in effect.
New Super Mario Bros. U
Piranha Plants return in New Super Mario Bros. U. They are mostly the same, though there are Piranha Plants that hatch from Piranha Pods thrown by Lakitus in Blooming Lakitus.
Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
Piranha Plants return in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. They are functionally similar to their behavior introduced in Super Mario Galaxy. Besides the returning Mega Piranha Plants, the game introduces Potted Piranha Plants, which can be carried around to eat enemies; Piranha Creeper, which have a long spiky stem; and cat variations in Bowser's Fury only.
Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS / Super Mario Maker 2
Piranha Plants are course elements in Super Mario Maker, its port, and Super Mario Maker 2. Piranha Plants are in every style except Super Mario World, which has Jumping Piranha Plants instead. Several Piranha Plant variations return, including Big Piranha Plants, Fire Piranha Plants, Jumping Piranha Plants, Big Venus Fire Traps, Munchers, as well as Piranha Creepers in Super Mario Maker 2 only. Piranha Plants can be placed on the ground and do not move around. Super Mario Maker 2 adds the ability to place Piranha Plants upside-down on ceilings, and in the game's added Super Mario 3D World style, Piranha Plants attack by lunging and can be defeated from a stomp, unlike in the other game styles. Super Mario Maker 2 also includes Piranha Plants in a Ninji Speedruns course called Yoshi's Piranha Plant Picnic, where the goal is for Yoshi to swallow twenty-five.
Super Mario Run
Piranha Plants are enemies in Super Mario Run. They emerge from pipes, retaining their usual biting attack, but as per usual are unable to appear if the player character is directly next to or on top of their pipe. As Fire Mario is not in the game, Piranha Plants are comparatively harder to defeat than in previous games. Since Piranha Plants are unable to be stomped, they cannot be vaulted over or defeated using a roll. Yoshis can bounce off their heads safely.
The earliest course with Piranha Plants is Wall-Kicking It Underground, which has a prominent setpiece near the end where the player has to wall-jump around two Piranha Plants. When the course is set to have Purple Coins and Black Coins appear, compared to the default Pink Coins, the setpiece gets more complex.
Piranha Plants are the titular enemy of Piranha Plant Field, which includes a large number of Piranha Plants and pipes for them to come out of. They are even placed in pipes where the player cannot reach. Multiple sections of the course have the player pass through parallel pipes where both the top and bottom pipe have a Piranha Plant inside them. Sometimes, navigating this requires wall-jumping between pipes to stall until one or both of the Piranha Plants recede back into their pipes.
A Piranha Plant Statue is a building in the Kingdom Builder mode. It depicts a Piranha Plant coming out of a pipe. The description for Green Pipe B, which is a long pipe, notes that Piranha Plants prefer to live in pipes that are like it.
Super Mario Odyssey
Piranha Plants return in Super Mario Odyssey. They are used as flowers in Bowser and Princess Peach's marriage, as well as decorations on Bowser's ship in the opening scene. While Piranha Plants do not appear as enemies, Fire Piranha Plants retain this role, and the game introduces the Poison Piranha Plant variety.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder
Piranha Plants return in Super Mario Bros. Wonder. Besides the returning Fire Piranha Plants, Big Piranha Plants, Big Fire Piranha Plants, Bone Piranha Plants, Munchers, and Nipper Plants, the game introduces additional Piranha Plant varieties: Trottin' Piranha Plants, which can leave their pipes and move around; Melon Piranha Plants, which resemble watermelons and spit seeds; Wonder Piranha, black Piranha Plants with long stalks that appear after Bowser collects the Wonder Flower at the start of the game; Cloud Piranhas, dark Piranha Plants made of smoke that protect Bowser's Castle; and Fiery Note Piranhas (and their larger variants), fiery Piranha Plants resembling music notes that function as projectiles.

- —[[Luigi|Luigi]], [["Mario of the Deep"]]
Piranha Plants, misspelled Pirhana Plants in the writer's bible,[15] appear in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show! They are depicted as being black with green lips and pink spots. Pirhana Plants can spit fire, a trait possibility inherited by Pansers.
The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3
A green Piranha Plant appears in the episode "Sneaky Lying Cheating Giant Ninja Koopas" of The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3. It bites Raccoon Mario after he is knocked unconscious by Big Mouth's reptile breath tornado move, but misses on the second attempt. Both Ptooies and Venus Fire Traps also appear, more commonly than Piranha Plants.
Super Mario World
A friendly pirhana plant[sic][16] named Mama Fireplant appears in the episode "Fire Sale" of the Super Mario World television series. The protagonists try to rescue her from Kootie Pie in a frozen cavern. Piranha plants[citation needed] are the replacement for the crops stolen by Cheatsy and the gophers in "Gopher Bash," and one piranha plants has hair or spike-like protrusions on its head. A piranha plant in "A Little Learning" is put in Oogtar's "eggabegga" project by Hip and Hop, attempting to sabotage it, which backfires when King Koopa when Oogtar feed it fertilizer inadvertently.
Nintendo Comics System
Piranha Plants appear occasionally in the Nintendo Comics System. They are depicted with primarily dark green heads atop light green stems. Some Piranha Plants have a pair of eyes, while female Piranha Plants have faces the same color as their stems and dark green lips, while the dark green and spotted portion is made from leaves and acts as "hair." In Piranha-Round Sue, several Piranha Plants, led by Piranha Sue, attempt to steal the Green Gecko Gem and a magic wand in order to depose Bowser, due to several tight restrictions he had placed upon them. In The Revenge of Pipe Ooze! a Piranha Plant gets strangled by Bowser after he calls Lemmy an idiot, while two female Piranha Plants appear as fans of Dirk Drain-Head, of whom Mario was cosplaying as.
Nintendo Adventure Books
A patch of Piranha Plants in Double Trouble trap Toad after he is led astray by a disguised Koopa on his way back to the Mushroom Palace. After hearing Toad's yells for help, Mario rushes into the patch to rescue him, and tries to fight off a particularly large Piranha Plant by throwing a rock, which the plant bats aside with a stick, giving its brethren the idea of grabbing some clubs to use as weapons as well. Depending on how the accompanying puzzle is solved, the plants either fight each other after Mario tricks one into bludgeoning another, or they succeed in knocking Mario out with a blow to the head.
A patch of Piranha Plants appear near the Mushroom Palace in Leaping Lizards, with Morton, Luigi and Toad navigate through them on the way to Water Land. Some Piranha Plants in Koopa Capers are spotted by Luigi amongst several monsters in Wendy O. Koopa's secret camp in the Magma Pits.
A patch of Piranha Plants appear in Pipe Down!, having to be run through by Mario and Luigi if they decide to go after Princess Toadstool. Four Piranha Plants (named Ashby, Justin, Scott and Todd respectively) are later revealed to have been coerced by Ludwig von Koopa to becoming the string quartet in a ballet that Toadstool is forced to star in. If the Piranha Plants attack the Mario Bros. and the princess, they are defeated quickly by Luigi knocking their pots over. One of the bad endings has two Piranha Plants eat Mario and Luigi if enter the leftmost pipe in a chamber.
A hungry, young Piranha Plant appears in Flown the Koopa, where Mario pulls the Mushroom King away it while avoiding Dino Rhinos in a forest.
Piranha Plants and some traffic officers switch minds in Brain Drain, due to the Synapse Switcher, causing havoc on the Fungus Freeway.
Yoshi
Piranha Plants are objects in Yoshi. They are one of six to fall onto the playing field. Piranha Plants are depicted similarly to Jumping Piranha Plants from Super Mario World.
Mario Kart series
Super Mario Kart
Piranha Plants are obstacles in Super Mario Kart. They are encountered in Choco Island 1 and Choco Island 2. Piranha Plants are offroad and cause whoever drives into them to spin out.
Mario Kart 64
Piranha Plants return in Mario Kart 64. They are placed in the ground and have lips that of a yellowish tan color. Piranha Plants are encountered in Mario Raceway and Royal Raceway. They are placed offroad, appearing to move their lips up and down in the manner of a sucking motion.

Mario Kart: Double Dash!!
Piranha Plants return in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!. They are encountered in Mario Circuit and Yoshi Circuit. Piranha Plant are in pipes and try to bite approaching drivers, flipping them over when hit. The chomping sound effect of Piranha Plants is a sped up variation of one of Petey Piranha's sound clips, and Piranha Plants use one of his exact voice clips when hit. Piranha Plants are stunned temporarily if hit by either a Green Shell, a Red Shell, a Bowser Shell, or a character under the invincibility effects of a Star. Besides Piranha Plants, the game introduces Pit Plants, which are obstacles in Dry Dry Desert, and adds Petey Piranha as a playable character.
Mario Kart Arcade GP series
Piranha Plant is an item in both Mario Kart Arcade GP and Mario Kart Arcade GP 2. It has a bright pink look. The Piranha Plant is one of the Special Items used by Princess Peach. It eats the items of opponents after being summoned. Piranha Plants also appear as obstacles in Mario Beach and DK Jungle, where they act the same as they do in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! Smaller Piranha Plants also appear on the bottom of archways in the Bowser Cup in red and green colors, though they merely observe.
Mario Kart DS
Piranha Plants are obstacles in Mario Kart DS. They are encountered in Mario Circuit, Template:Classic link, and Template:Classic link. Piranha Plants function the way they do in Super Mario Kart. Fire Piranha Plants are also obstacles in the former course.
Mario Kart Wii
Piranha Plants are obstacles in Mario Kart Wii. They are encountered in Template:Classic link and Template:Classic link. Piranha Plants are the basis of one of the karts, Piranha Prowler, but the petals and colored lips suggest closer inspiration from Petey Piranha.
Mario Kart 7
Piranha Plants are obstacles in Mario Kart 7. They are encountered in Music Park and Piranha Plant Slide. There are two giant Piranha Plants in both courses. The Piranha Plants in Music Park move to the beat of the background music, bite player characters if they drive into the spotlight in front of them, and switch between the right and left sides at times. The Piranha Plants of Piranha Plant Slide are positioned in the center, changing which direction they face periodically.
Mario Kart 8 / Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Piranha Plants appears in Mario Kart 8 and its enhanced port, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as an item. The Piranha Plant is set up in front of the user, biting opponents, items such as Bananas, Bloopers, shells, and objects such as coins and traffic cones that they pass until its timer runs out and it disappears. The timer is also reduced faster every time that the Piranha Plant bites. It also gives the user a speed boost every time it lunges out to chomp, which it automatically does every few seconds. The player can manually force it to chomp by pressing 
. If the player holds , the Piranha Plant will constantly bite at the road ahead. The plant can only chomp items that are in front of it and slightly to the side, meaning that the player can be hit from other directions. In this game, the pot has wheels on the side. These wheels turn sideways when going into anti-gravity. The Piranha Plant will spin around as the result of a trick.
In Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Piranha Plant is used in the game's exclusive battle mode, Renegade Roundup, for the authorities to capture opponents on the other team. In that mode, the Piranha Plants have a strobe light on top of their head. When an opponent is nearby its strobe light will turn on and its siren will blare. The color of the Piranha Plant and its strobe light varies depending on which team it is on. If a player with a Piranha Plant is hit with an item in this mode, stars will appear over the Piranha Plant's head to indicate that it is stunned and unable to capture an opponent. If the player drives into a wall or rim, the Piranha Plant will disappear until the player drives away from the wall or rim. The renegade team will never get a Piranha Plant. In the North American overview trailer, the item is misspelled Pirahna Plant.[17].
Piranha Plants also appear as obstacles. They are encountered both in pipes and on land. The Piranha Plants in pipes appear in Sweet Sweet Canyon, Mario Circuit, Template:Classic link, Template:Classic link, and Template:Classic link; the first three courses give them similar behavior as in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, but Piranha Plants in the returning Mario Kart 7 courses retain their behavior from said game. The Piranha Plants on land are in Template:Classic link, as well as Template:Classic link and Template:Classic link in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass. Piranha Plants are in the background of Shy Guy Falls, 3DS Piranha Plant Slide, and Piranha Plant Cove. The Booster Course Pass adds Piranha Plants that are not in pipes but behave like the counterparts otherwise, including in Template:Classic link, Piranha Plant Cove, and Template:Classic link. A Piranha Plant in the Booster Course Pass course Yoshi's Island is attached to the underside of the tree trunk arch before the water section and uses identical sound effects as in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island.
Other Piranha Plant varieties and relatives appear. Other Piranha Plant varieties are featured as obstacles: Raving Piranha Plants appear in Electrodome; a Bone Piranha Plant appears in Bone-Dry Dunes; and Deku Babas are cosmetic replacements of Piranha Plants in Hyrule Circuit. The Booster Course Pass includes Big Piranha Plants in Template:Classic link and Template:Classic link, Ptooies in Template:Classic link, Fire Piranha Plants in DS Mario Circuit, and Mecha Piranha Plants in Template:Classic link. Wooden cutouts of Piranha Plants are in Tour Paris Promenade, Ninja Hideaway and Template:Classic link.
Mario Kart Tour
Piranha Plants are obstacles in Mario Kart Tour. They appear in both their lunging and passive variants. They are found in many courses in the game, especially in T variants of courses. They act the same as in Super Mario Kart and Mario Kart 7. Hitting Piranha Plants with the use of an item or while invincible grants the player some bonus points. There are also wooden cutouts of Piranha Plants, which are used to block certain shortcuts. A new glider called the Piranha Plant Parafoil is also introduced. The Piranha Plant Tour is themed around Piranha Plants, with Petey Piranha and Piranha Plant Slide returning in this tour. This game also introduces two new courses themed around Piranha Plants, called Piranha Plant Cove and Piranha Plant Pipeline respectively. Inky Piranha Plants also make their debut in this game, appearing in the course Bangkok Rush.

Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit
Piranha Plants are obstacles in Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit. They are encountered in Piranha Paradise. Piranha Plants appear on gates sometimes, snapping at player characters driving by and temporarily holding any caught player character holding them in their mouths for some time if caught.
Mario Kart World
Piranha Plant appears as a playable character for the first time in the Mario Kart series in Mario Kart World. Much like the playable Piranha Plant in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and the playable Fire Piranha Plant in Mario Tennis Aces, it is in a pot.
Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3
Piranha Plants are enemies in Wario Land: Super Mario Land 3. Piranha Plants are encountered throughout Parsley Woods. They behave like Munchers, being stationary, invincible enemies that occupy certain areas. Piranha Plants are indestructible and can defeat Wario instantly by touching him.
Although never referred to with their English names in Wario Land-related material, these enemies are labeled as "Pakkun Flower" (パックンフラワー) on page 6 of the KC Deluxe manga, volume 24, which is the Japanese name for Piranha Plants. Nintendo Power instead gives the uncapitalized name "piranha plant" to the Munchers on Rice Beach.[18]
Mario's FUNdamentals
Piranha Plants make a cameo in Mario's FUNdamentals. They are featured on a suit of playing cards in Go Fish.
Yoshi series
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island / Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3
Wild Piranhas,[19] also named Wild Piranha Plants,[20] Red Piranhas,[21] Piranha Plants,[20] or simply Piranhas,[22] or Red Flowers,[23] are enemies in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and its remake. Wild Piranhas are completely different than in the Super Mario series: All Wild Piranhas are planted in the ground, appearing very miniaturized by default, but it both increases in size and lunges at a Yoshi when approached. A Wild Piranha causes a Yoshi to lose Baby Mario and his eggs if it catches Yoshi into its mouth, though spits him out after a few seconds. Wild Piranhas are defeated only from being hit by an egg or a different projectile; when defeated, a Wild Piranha's head flips, shrinks, and disappears. Besides Nipper Plants returning, the game introduces the Hootie the Blue Fish and Wild Ptooie Piranha varieties One of the bosses is a giant Wild Piranha named Naval Piranha. Piranha Plants have traits similar to Blow Hards, but the latter is defined as a Pokey variant.
Yoshi's Story
Piranha Plants are enemies in Yoshi's Story. Piranha Plants have teeth appearing to be on their lips and stalks covered in spikes. They can grow very large, to the point of resembling Naval Piranha. Piranha Plants are encountered in levels such as Piranha Grove. Several varieties debut, such as Piranha Pests and Piranha Sprouts.
Yoshi's Island DS
Piranha Plants are enemies in Yoshi's Island DS. They behave identically as in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island. Besides the returning Wild Ptooie Piranhas, Nipper Plants and Nipper Spores, a few Piranha Plant varieties were added, including Polterpiranhas, Bungee Piranhas and Nipper Dandelions. A giant Piranha Plant is one of the bosses, Big Bungee Piranha.
Yoshi's New Island
Piranha Plants return in Yoshi's New Island. They appear on land, as well as inside of pipes in Spin-Lift Drift. The Piranha Plants stemming from the ground no longer start in miniaturized form.
Yoshi's Woolly World / Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World
Piranha Plants are enemies in Yoshi's Woolly World and its port, inheriting their behavior from Yoshi's New Island. The leaves and teeth of a Piranha Plant are made out of felt in this game, as per the game's asthetic of "arts and crafts". Some Piranha Plants start out sleeping, but they wake up when Yoshi approaches and do so too fast for Yoshi to reach them while they are sleeping. Some Piranha Plants are found attached to ceilings instead of the ground. Yoshi cannot enter a Warp Pipe if a Piranha Plant is on top of it. As Baby Mario is not in this game, when a Piranha Plant eats Yoshi they inflict damage on Yoshi as they are spat out.
These games replace Yoshi's Eggs with yarn balls. When a Piranha Plant is hit by a yarn ball, it is temporarily tied up. Until it breaks free, it cannot eat Yoshi, and does not inflict contact damage. If a Piranha Plant on the ceiling is tied up, it will fall off the ceiling. If such a Piranha Plant hits the ground, it dies.
Aside from tying up Piranha Plants attached to the ceiling, a Piranha Plant can be defeated by stomping it while it is tied up, hitting it with one seed from a watermelon, fire breath from a fire watermelon, freezing it with ice breath from an ice watermelon then stomping it, freezing it with ice breath from an ice watermelon then kicking it into something else, kicking another frozen enemy into the Piranha Plant, and being crushed by objects like snowballs.
Yoshi's Crafted World
Piranha Plants are enemies in Yoshi's Crafted World. They are encountered on both Yoshi's path and in the backdrop, where they cannot harm Yoshis. Piranha Plants are defeated from being hit by an egg. A large cardboard Piranha Plant named Spike the Piranha appears as the boss of Acorn Forest.
Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
- “It's really weird. Sometimes I hear the guy next door. He's always mumbling about a Crystal-this and an Evil-that. Isn't a "Crystal" some kind of a shiny rock...or something? I know I've seen those somewhere!”
- —Piranha Plant, Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars
Piranha Plants are enemies in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars and its remake. They are encountered in Pipe Vault. Piranha Plants attempt to attack Mario in the field by leaping from a pipe. Piranha Plants have root-like legs for walking but appear only in pipes outside of battle. They are unaffected by jump attacks. There is a Piranha Plant living at Monstro Town in the game, where when talked to, he talks about someone next door "mumbling about a Crystal-this and a Crystal-that", alluding to Culex. Chompweeds return, and Chewies debut as a variety. One of the bosses is a Piranha Plant named Smilax.
Super Smash Bros. series
Piranha Plants appear in all entries of the Super Smash Bros. series, except for Super Smash Bros. Melee. The Mushroom Kingdom stage that appears in Super Smash Bros. and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate features Piranha Plants as obstacles that occasionally come out of the two pipes present there (with said Piranha Plants' appearances being based on that of the red Piranha Plants in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels), dealing damage to any fighter that touches them; however, they can be attacked and knocked out easily. In Super Smash Bros. Brawl, a Piranha Plant is featured as a sticker and a trophy, and in the PictoChat stage, one of the drawings that appears in the background is a Piranha Plant. A Piranha Plant is also featured as a trophy in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Super Smash Bros. for Wii U.

Template:Main-wiki A Piranha Plant, also spelled lowercase,[24] is a downloadable playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as of January 29, 2019, being the first playable character in the series to be a generic enemy. It was available for free post-launch for anyone who registered the game through My Nintendo by January 31, 2019 (PST), and it can be purchased separately as of February 1, 2019 (PST). In its Template:Iw, Piranha Plant is seen being approached by Mario before knocking him back and repeatedly biting at him before the tagline is displayed: "Piranha Plant Pipes Up!" ("Piranha Plant Joins the Battle!" in the British English version). Piranha Plant is unlockable in Template:Iw after freeing ten Template:Iws, which occurs automatically if the criteria is fulfilled prior to downloading Piranha Plant.
Piranha Plant's basic Template:Iws include bites, headbutts, leaf swipes, and pot strikes. Piranha Plant's Template:Iw is Ptooie, which involves shooting spiked balls similarly to the species; its Template:Iw is Poison Breath, which involves spewing a damaging cloud of poison, similarly to Putrid Piranhas; its Template:Iw is Piranhacopter, in which Piranha Plant flies like a Jumping Piranha Plant; its Template:Iw is Long-Stem Strike; and its Final Smash is Petey Piranha, which involves summoning the character to trap opponents in cages, breathe fire on them, and slam the cages onto the ground. Piranha Plant's Template:Iw is Prickly Swing, in which it transforms into a Prickly Piranha Plant to perform a headbutt. Its Template:Iw is Fire Breath, in which Piranha Plant spits an explosive fireball in the manner of a Fire Piranha Plant.
Piranha Plant is one of the heavier fighters, and its mobility is also below-average in many areas, apart from its dashing speed. Piranha Plant was originally intended to have three jumps, but the third jump was removed prior to the fighter's release.[25] Piranha Plant smiles or scowls for certain actions, making it more expressive than in other appearances. Its Template:Iw is identical to Bowser's and Bowser Jr.'s. One of Piranha Plant's Template:Iws shows it biting Mario, stopping him from jumping over Piranha Plant, and then smiling after launching him away. The Palutena's Guidance conversation on Piranha Plant reveals Viridi (the goddess of nature) as being very knowledgeable on the species, having written a thesis on it and naming its many variants, irritating Pit and Palutena in the process.
The Template:Iws reference the different types of Piranha Plants and warp pipe color variations:
- Its green costume is derived from how it appeared in the original Super Mario Bros. and The Lost Levels, with a green warp pipe.
- Its yellow costume is derived from various Piranha Plants that have a yellow color, including the Pipe Land king's transfigured form, the Wild Ptooie Piranha from Yoshi's Island upon the first strike, and the Glad P. Plant from Super Princess Peach, with a magenta pot.
- The magenta costume resembles an active Piranha Creeper from Super Mario 3D World, Dino Piranha, Peewee Piranha, and the Super Mario All-Stars appearance of Nipper Plants, with a dark navy pipe.
- The black costume resembles the Inky Piranha Plant from Super Mario 3D Land and the Pale Piranha from Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, with a red pot.
- The white costume resembles Bone Piranha Plants as they appear in New Super Mario Bros. 2, but with a pale green stem instead of a black one and white lips instead of the pale blue color they usually have, with a yellow pipe. Its all-white appearance with a green stem may also be a reference to Nipper Plants.
- The indigo costume with pink lips resembles the Bungee Piranhas from Yoshi's Island DS, Spiny Piranha Plants from Super Mario Galaxy, and to a lesser extent, Mom Piranha when colored blue, as well as her blue-colored Piranha Plants prior to and during her boss fight in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga and its remake. It is in a goldenrod, metallic pot.
- Its blue costume resembles how its sprite appears in underground courses in Super Mario Bros. and The Lost Levels, as well as the Frost Piranha from Super Paper Mario, and has a brown pipe.
Piranha Plant's fighter spirit uses its artwork from Mario Party DS. Piranha Plant is one of the three DLC fighters who never appear as a puppet fighter in any spirit battle, the other two are being Terry and Sephiroth.
The Template:Iw update introduced a glitch where playing as Piranha Plant in Template:Iw can corrupt save data.[26]

Piranha Plant's Classic Mode has it fight against all of Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's base newcomers, as well as Rathalos from Monster Hunter, who is also new to the series.

They are encountered in Boggly Woods and the Great Tree, having been adapted into a monochrome color to suit their environment, similarly to Clefts. In the English localization, they are known as Pale Piranhas and identified by Goombella as a subspecies. However, every other language lacks this detail and states they are the same plants from Mario's previous adventures, although the Spanish localization has a color identifier in its name regardless. The game's English demo treats them as normal Piranha Plants.[30] Pale Piranhas behave like Piranha Plants in the previous game, but those the Great Tree they can move to higher and lower ground in rooms with multiple levels. In the Glitz Pit, a Pale Piranha appears as one of the members of The Mind-Bogglers.

They spit fire several times upon emerging before retreating into the ground temporarily, repeating this process repeatedly on the same spot. Piranha Plants all retreat underground briefly if Luiginary Gravity is used.
In battle, a Piranha Plant may spit a large fireball or a Fly Guy at Mario, which can be jumped over or idled under respectively to avoid damage. Piranha Plants are weak to Fire attacks, so the Luiginary Flame inflicts a lot of damage on them. Piranha Plants can spit out Nipper Spores, which become Nipper Plants that assist them from the background.

If a Piranha Plant is attacked while it is blowing a spiked ball, the spiked ball falls on it and deals 50 damage. Otherwise, the Piranha Plant blows the spiked ball towards a bro. who must counter with the hammer.
Piranha Plants can also attack by lunging themselves at a bro. which must be repelled with the hammer, although the Piranha Plant may attack several times in one turn. All Piranha Plants in the battle may each move around and spit a fireball at the closest bro.; the order the Piranha Plants attack is the order they popped out of the ground prior to attacking.

In both games, Piranha Plants also appear in the Piranha Panic minigame, where players must hit colored Piranha Plants with eggs of matching colors, although purple Piranha Plants can be hit with any egg. In Mario Super Sluggers, the minigame instead has the player pitch the right balls into the Piranha Plants in order to score points while avoiding being stunned by it.
Mario & Sonic series
Piranha Plants appear in a few events in the Mario & Sonic series. Piranha Plants in Warp Pipes appear as obstacles in Ski Cross Racing in the Nintendo DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Winter Games, where they move horizontally in and out of the pipes and cause any characters that are hit to lose speed and Rings. In the Wii version, Piranha Plants in Warp Pipes similarly appear as obstacles in the individual and team versions of Dream Ski Cross, as well as in Dream Ice Hockey, where they occasionally bite at nearby characters and knock over any that hit them. In the Nintendo 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Piranha Plants in Warp Pipes appear as obstacles in BMX Plus, where they occasionally bite at the characters, and if hit, the character loses both speed and Rings. In the same game, Piranha Plants also appear in Golf Plus, although they do not affect the gameplay.

Its HP and RCV are low and its ATK is below average. The player can transform a Piranha Plant into a Fire Piranha Plant by using four Fire Flowers on it. If the player instead uses four Poison Mushrooms, it will transform into a Bone Piranha Plant instead. Because the Piranha Plant is treated as a generic enemy, it can still be battled, even if the player has one in their party.
Mario + Rabbids series
In the Mario + Rabbids series, Piranha Plants physically appear in only Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle. They can be seen throughout the Flushy Forest section of Ancient Gardens, such as Piranha Plants with lamp-like fixtures, which lie on the sidetrack in dimly lit parts of the forest, a three-headed Piranha Plant statue in The Mystic Maze of Mysticism and Mazing, and a potted Piranha Plant that was merged with a Rabbid, becoming Pirabbid Plant.

Dr. Mario World
Piranha Plants appear in Dr. Mario World as assistants. Their stage mode effect grants a chance that two viruses will be eliminated at the start of the stage, though viruses that require multiple hits will not immediately be eliminated. Their versus mode effect grants a chance that all capsules will be eliminated if an object has reached the third row from the bottom line (this can only happen once per match after it is activated). The chance that these effects activate increases at higher levels, where at the first level it is 30% for stage mode (5% prior to version 2.3.0) and 20% in versus mode, but at the maximum level it is 80% for stage mode (25% prior to version 2.3.0) and 100% in versus mode. Clinic Events featured a Piranha Plant as a patient during each of season 5 and the season 3 revisit
A Piranha Plant is a playable character named Dr. Piranha Plant, released on December 16, 2020. Its skill in both stage mode and versus mode eliminates objects randomly, similar to Dr. Yoshi's skill. It is represented by pipes appearing, followed by the Piranha Plant emerging from the bottom-middle pipe and then biting. This skill prioritizes eliminating viruses, and will only target other objects if there are less viruses that this skill targets. The difference between Dr. Yoshi and Dr. Piranha Plant is that the amount of objects eliminated by the former is greater compared to the latter, but the skill meter charges slower. Capsules will only be targeted if other objects are not available.
Luigi's Mansion 3
Piranha Plants are referenced in Luigi's Mansion 3. Figurines of them are in some areas of the Hotel Shops.

Naming
Etymology
The English name "Piranha Plant" is an alliteration combining "plant" with "piranha," a carnivorous neotropical fish depicted as aggressive and ravenous in Western tall tales and pop culture. The name has historically been presented as a portmanteau ("Piranhaplant") on occasion or with "piranha" spelt without the "h." Earlier English material occasionally has referred to them and the related Fire Piranha Plants as "Piranha Flowers." They are occasionally referred to as "Piranhas" in shorthand.
In the original 1989 and 1990 localizations for Super Mario Land, most enemies were given names that were loose romanizations of their Japanese ones. This included the returning Piranha Plants, which are referred to as "Pakkun Flowers"[10][32] and "Pakkun"[33] in supplementary English-language material for Super Mario Land. The English in-game eGuide for the 2011 rerelease for Super Mario Land on the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console and the Mario Portal Game Archive refers to them as "Piranha Plant." They are one of the few enemies in Super Mario Land to have had this localization amended.

Red Piranha Plant
"Red Piranha Plant" refers to a specific type of Piranha Plant in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. While most "normal" Piranha Plants in the Super Mario franchise are red, they are green in the original Super Mario Bros. and The Lost Levels. Unlike them, the Red Piranhas in The Lost Levels periodically emerges from pipes regardless of the player's positioning.
| Language | Name | Meaning |

| Italian | Pianta Piranha Rossa | Red Piranha Plant |
Upside-down Piranha Plants
"Upside-down Piranha Plant" or "Hanging Piranha Plant"[37] refers to a specific type of Piranha Plant that extends downward from overhanging pipes in Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario Land. In proceeding and subsequent games, this is considered an attribute exhibited by normal Piranha Plants and lack unique monikers in their Japanese releases, though some localizations do distinguish them as a discrete type of Piranha Plant in material for Super Mario World. In Super Mario Bros. 3, Upside-down Piranha Plants are one of three enemy variants characterized by their presence on the ceiling, alongside the Upside-down Buzzy Beetle and Upside-down Spiny. However, in the paratext for Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3 and retrospective material covering Super Mario Bros. 3, the Piranha Plants that descend from overhanging pipes are not recognized as a distinct variant. The variant is consistently recognized in Super Mario Land, including in releases and retrospective media that covers the game. The majority of the names below are in relation to it.
Similarly to the "normal" Piranha Plants in Super Mario Land, Upside-down Piranha Plants were referred to as "Upside Down (Headstand) Pakkun" in the instruction booklet for the original Game Boy game,[38] and Reverse Pakkun in Nintendo Power's Game Boy Player's Guide.[32] However, their name becomes standardized as "Upside-down Piranha Plant" in the 2011 eGuide for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console rerelease, as well as in the Mario Portal Game Archive.[39] Upside-down Piranha Plants are mentioned by Template:Iw during Palutena's Guidance in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate in all languages.

| French (American) | Fleur Piranha renversée | Reversed Piranha Flower |
| French (Europe) | Plante Piranha renversée | Reversed Piranha Plant |
| German | Hängende Piranha-Pflanze | Hanging Piranha Plant |

| Spanish (Europe) | Planta Piraña del revés | Upside-down Piranha Plant |
Pale Piranha
"Pale Piranhas" is the name given to "normal" Piranha Plants in the English localizations of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, which are uniquely monochromatic. Unlike English, the original Japanese release and most localizations recognize them as the same plants from previous games. The only non-English localizations that identify them as distinct are the Spanish and Canadian French ones. The red-colored Piranha Plants in the Pit of 100 Trials are considered a stronger variant. Pale Piranhas do have a unique file designation in the Nintendo Switch rerelease that denotes their unique color,[40] whereas the stronger variant is given the name of "normal" Piranha Plants in the game's files.[41]
| Language | Name | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| French (American) | Piranha pâle | Pale Piranha |
| Spanish | Planta Piraña gris | Gray Piranha Plant |
| Spanish (Europe) | Planta Piraña Gris | Gray Piranha Plant |
Cat Piranha Plant
"Cat Piranha Plant" refers to the type of Piranha Plant found around Lake Lapcat in Bowser's Fury.
