Jumping Piranha Plants made their debut in ''Super Mario World'' as the most frequent Piranha Plant enemies in the game. They wait in their [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s and when the player goes close to the pipe, they jump out of the pipe or bushes. In some cases, they also spit two fireballs, which may shows the relation to the [[Venus Fire Trap]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. These Jumping Piranha Plants are called [[Jumping Venus Fire Trap]]s.
In ''Super Mario World'', Jumping Piranha Plants are the most frequently encountered Piranha Plant enemies. Most of them jump in and out of a [[Warp Pipe|pipe]], but some jump out from the [[bush]]es. Jumping Venus Fire Traps also make an appearance, acting mostly the same, aside from spitting out two [[fireball]]s whenever they jump up. If [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] do a [[Spin Jump]] on a Jumping Piranha Plant, they bounce slightly upward and do not take damage. Either brother can defeat a Jumping Piranha Plant by plucking a [[fireball]] at it while in their [[Fire Mario|Fire]] form or by touching it while under the effects of a [[Super Star|Starman]].

Like the other enemies, a Jumping Piranha Plant appears in the ending sequence, which misspells their name as '''Jumping Pirhana Plant''', although this would eventually be fixed in the [[Game Boy Advance]] [[reissue|remake]] ''[[Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2]]''.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario World

In Super Mario World, Jumping Piranha Plants are the most frequently encountered Piranha Plant enemies. Most of them jump in and out of a pipe, but some jump out from the bushes. Jumping Venus Fire Traps also make an appearance, acting mostly the same, aside from spitting out two fireballs whenever they jump up. If Mario or Luigi do a Spin Jump on a Jumping Piranha Plant, they bounce slightly upward and do not take damage. Either brother can defeat a Jumping Piranha Plant by plucking a fireball at it while in their Fire form or by touching it while under the effects of a Starman.

Like the other enemies, a Jumping Piranha Plant appears in the ending sequence, which misspells their name as Jumping Pirhana Plant, although this would eventually be fixed in the Game Boy Advance remake Super Mario World: Super Mario Advance 2.

After the Special World has been completed, Jumping Piranha Plants turn into Jumping Pumpkin Plants.

Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3

In Super Mario Advance 4: Super Mario Bros. 3, Jumping Piranha Plants only appear in a World-e level, Ground Work. They behave the same way as in Super Mario World, but they are designed after the Piranha Plants in the same game, having the same head while retaining their propeller-like leaf.

Super Mario Party

In Super Mario Party, the 21st stage of Puzzle Hustle involves the characters having to put together a picture of a Jumping Piranha Plant, which the game refers to as a Piranha Plant. It is depicted as an enlargement of its Super Mario World sprite.
