The '''Jumping Piranha Plant''' |
The '''Jumping Piranha Plant''' is a variant of [[Piranha Plant]] that is not rooted to the ground. They have a propeller-like stem, and their usual action is to jump out of a [[Warp Pipe]] before slowly making their way back down into it. Jumping Piranha Plants first appear in ''[[Super Mario World]]''. |
||
Jumping Piranha Plants have a few variants, most notably [[Jumping Venus Fire Trap]]s, which are a cross between a Jumping Piranha Plant and a [[Venus Fire Trap]]. Jumping Piranha Plant has two relatives, [[Hootie the Blue Fish]] from ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and [[Piranha Pest]]s from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', and both of them bear a resemblance to it. |

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]]''. |
|||
After the [[Special World]] has been completed, Jumping Piranha Plants turn into [[Jumping Pumpkin Plant]]s. |

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. |

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. |

==Trivia== |
|||
*Jumping Piranha Plants appear only in ''[[Super Mario World]]'', although the ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' enemy [[Hootie the Blue Fish]] bears resemblance to them. [[Piranha Pest]]s from ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'' also share a resemblance to it. |
