The '''Jumping Piranha Plant''' ('''P-Pakkun''' in Japan) is a typevariant 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.

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