Piranha Plant ("Pakkun"/"パックン" in Japan), sometimes spelt as Pirana Plant and also known as Piranha Flower or simply Piranha, is a recurring enemy in the Mario franchise. It is an enemy that resembles a venus fly trap, almost always portrayed as a leafy green stalk topped with a white-spotted red head, bisected by a white lip mouth with sharp teeth. Instead of eating flies, he eats Mario and Luigi. They have shown up many times in the series, typically hide within pipes (sometimes pipes Mario can go into) and come out whenever something passes close by. Some species can also spit fireballs, called Venus Fire Traps. Others live entirely outside pipes, being either rooted in the ground or even walking about on root-like legs. When Mario is standing on a pipe, they have the tendency to stay in the pipe. Piranha Plants originally appeared in Super Mario Bros., making them one of the first and oldest enemies in the entire franchise.
On the television series based on Super Mario Bros., Piranha Plants made various appearances, usually acting as obstacles for the heroes, much as they do in the games. In the Super Mario Bros. 3 cartoon, Venus Fire Traps and Ptooies were used in a manner similar to guns. In Super Mario Galaxy, they would instead be planted in a flower patch and moves as far as its stem will let it and try to attack Mario.
Super Mario Bros.
Piranha Plants first appear in this game on the second level of the game Super Mario Bros.. They tend to pop out of Warp Pipes, attempting to bite Mario or Luigi. In later levels, Piranha Plants tend to appear near areas where Mario or Luigi must time their jumps carefully before landing on the Piranha Plants. Piranha Plants in this game can be defeated with fireballs from Fire Mario or Invincible Mario. Defeating a Piranha Plant earns the player 200 points.
Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels
Piranha Plants return in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels behaving the same as they did previously, in this game, they are more commonly found near dangerous pits making timing more crucial. Once again, Piranha Plants can be defeated with the effects of the Fire Flower or Starman.
Super Mario Bros. 3
In Super Mario Bros. 3, Piranha Plants act the very same as they did in the original except now there are a new species known as Hanging Piranha Plants, Venus Fire Traps, Piranhacus Giganticus, Nipper Plants, Munchers, and Ptooies. Venus Fire Traps are new types of Piranha Plants that can spit fire at Mario or Luigi with high accuracy. They can generally be defeated with the Fire Flower or any other damaging power up. Piranhacus Giganticus are larger Piranha Plants found in large pipes, Nipper Plants hop in the air trying to nip at Mario or Luigi, and Munchers are stationary Piranha Plants commonly found in rows and are indestructible. Ptooies are Piranha Plants that have a hovering spiked ball over their lips. Some Ptooies can walk, while most are stationary. All types of Piranha Plants in this game (except the Munchers) can be defeated with the effects of the Fire Flower, Starman, Hammer Suit, Tanooki Suit, and the Super Leaf. Defeating a Piranha Plant earns the player 100 points.
Yoshi
Piranha Plants are one of the drop from above and have to be matched.
Yoshi's Cookie
In all versions, after round 10, a Piranha Plant is a game piece which replaces one of the cookies.
Piranha Plants are commonly found throughout the Mario Kart series as common hazards in as early as Super Mario Kart, where they are obstacles in the Choco Island courses. Here, if a racer drives into a Piranha Plant, they lose four coins.
Piranha Plants return in more installments, including Mario Kart 64, Mario Kart: Super Circuit, Mario Kart: Double Dash!!, Mario Kart DS, Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 7, Mario Kart 8, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. They can either be snapping at the air in place (usually off road) or perched on a pipe snapping at any racers that come close. Contact with either will either spin you out or knock you about costing heaps of time and allowing your opponents to catch up. Piranha Plants can be stunned if a Bob-omb is tossed at them, a Lightning is used, or while under the effects of a Bullet Bill or a Starman. Piranha Plants can be found in Mario Raceway, Mario Circuit (for GCN, Wii, and Wii U), Piranha Plant Slide, and various other courses. Piranha Plants appear in Yoshi Desert swallowing any racers that fall in the Quicksand. Petey Piranha also appears as a playable character in Mario Kart: Double Dash!!.
Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island
Piranha Plants appear in Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island and Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3. In this game, a Piranha Plant's head starts off very small until a Yoshi approaches it, upon which the Piranha Plant's quickly grows larger and starts snapping at Yoshi. If Yoshi makes contact with a Piranha Plant, he will be swallowed before being spat out and having to retrieve Baby Mario before the Countdown Timer runs out. Yoshi can beat a Piranha Plant by tossing an Egg, burning/freezing it with fire or ice breath, or by spitting another enemy or object out at it. Piranha Plants also have their own variants such as Hootie the Blue Fish, Nipper Plants, Nipper Spores, and the Needlenose-spitting Wild Ptooie Piranhas. The boss of World 3 is a giant Piranha Plant named Naval Piranha who comes aided with her Naval Buds.
Yoshi's Island DS
Piranha Plants appear in Yoshi's Island DS where they behave the same as they did before. Once again, they will make attempts to swallow Yoshi but Yoshi can beat them by tossing an egg at them, scorching them with his or Baby Bowser's fire breath, or by spitting another enemy or object at it. The Wild Ptooie Piranha returns alongside the Nipper Plants, Nipper Spores, and Nipper Dandelions. A new Piranha Plant sub-type called the Bungee Piranha also appears. The boss of World 2 is a overgrown Bungee Piranha called Big Bungee Piranha who is aided with his bodyguards the Bungee Buds.
Yoshi's New Island
Piranha Plants return in Yoshi's New Island acting as they did previously. Their attacks and ways to be defeated are the same as before. Their appearance has also been updated to match their look in the more recent games. They are more common at earlier points of the game and appear less towards the end.
Piranha Plants are only found in the Pipe Vault of this game. The Piranha Plants act much like they did in the other games as being enemies in Warp Pipes. If Mario comes into contact with a Piranha Plant, it will engage him and his party in battle. The Piranha Plants mainly use Fire-elemental moves in this game and can be easily taken out with Mallow's Snowy move.
There are also two different types of Piranha Plants known as the Megasmilax and the Smilaxs, which appear as bosses in this game. They are fought on Bean Valley and are extremely weak to Mallow's Snowy like the other Piranha Plants. The Megasmilax is capable of using the deadly Petal Blast move while the Smilax attacks with simple bite attacks.
In Paper Mario, regular Piranha Plants can be found in the Jade Jungle. Out of the other variations, including Putrid Piranhas and Frost Piranhas, the regular Piranha Plants are the strongest and can even attack with a poison bite. The Piranha Plants serve under the Lava Piranha, who lived in Mt. Lavalava. It should be noted that all of the Piranha Plants in this game show their mouths forward instead of upward, which means that Mario can jump on Piranha Plants without worrying about taking damage.
In Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, Piranha Plants can be found in the Pit of 100 Trials. They attack the same as the previous game except now, their mouths are pointed upward, and Mario cannot jump on them anymore (unless he is wearing the Spike Shield badge). The regular Piranha Plants are now the strongest type of Piranha Plant in the game, having very high stats. The other kinds of Piranha Plants return in this game, and a new type of Piranha Plant is shown known as Pale Piranhas. The Pale Piranhas are the weakest type of Piranha Plant in the game.
In Super Paper Mario, Piranha Plants can now attack freely at Mario and the others. The Putrid and Frost Piranhas can use distance attacks, which can poison or freeze Mario and the rest forcing the player to shake the Wii Remote to break free.
In Paper Mario: Sticker Star, Piranha Plants are only present in World 3 and World 5 of this game. The Venus Fire Traps mainly appear in this game and are renamed "Fire Piranhas." They can attack by either biting Mario or spitting fireballs at him.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
Piranha Plant is the first downloadable playable fighter in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, but he was made available for free for whoever pre-ordered the game.
