In their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Venus Fire Traps appear as common enemies in most worlds. Their attack pattern basically consist of them hiding in [[Warp Pipe]]s, much like regular Piranha Plants, and when [[Mario]] approaches they would rise from their hiding place and spit an unstoppable fireball in his direction. The only way to defeat them is by using one of the many power-ups available in the game. There is also an another variety of Venus Fire Traps that can spit fire two times in a row.

In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', their behavior is the same as in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and can be defeated in the same way as last time, however they can also be frozen via [[Penguin Suit]] or [[Ice Flower]], as well. They first appeared in 1-3. Venus Fire Traps can also be helpful to Mario and the others. They can be found in dark caves where there are no [[Glow Block]]s. However, the fire these enemies spit can light up a small amount of the room, often revealing secret pipes and pits. A [[Yoshi]] can swallow the fireball or the Venus Fire Trap itself to be able to spit a fireball out; however this fireball can still hurt other players. [[Big Venus Fire Trap]]s also appear in this game who are similar to [[Big Piranha Plant]]s; they are much bigger and take three fireballs to destroy. The fireballs they spit are also larger. Yoshi can also swallow the fireballs, then spit them back out at enemies. If a piranha plant is in a pipe, he'll spit his fireball and retreat in his pipe. If a piranha plant has no pipe, he'll spit his fireball then chomp in the air for a while and spit his fireball again.
