“Potted Piranha Plant… Now that's a tongue twister! Can you say that five times fast? 'Potted Piranha Plant', 'Potted Piranha Plant'… Pick up one of these bad boys to attack enemies. Plants are so cool!”
—Play Nintendo[1]

Potted Piranha Plants,[2][1][3] also simply referred to as Piranha Plants, are items that, if carried, attack enemies and other players within close range. Piranha Plants in pots made several appearances before their debut as items, such as in the Mario Party 3 minigame Storm Chasers, and as enemies, such as in World 6-3 in New Super Mario Bros. Wii; Piranha Plant as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate and Mario Kart World is also in a pot.

History

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

The potted Piranha Plant is an object that can be used by any playable character in Super Mario 3D World and its Nintendo Switch port. The Piranha Plant eats most enemies and is able to grab Green Stars out of reach of the playable characters. Before being picked up, it can be seen sleeping. They first appear in Shadow-Play Alley, and last appear in Champion's Road. Players can also defeat them by jumping on them or throwing an item at them. Potted Piranha Plants also attack other characters; however, the characters get stunned and knocked aside rather than powered down. Shadow-Play Alley's Stamp is a potted Piranha Plant. Like their regular counterparts, they have a cat variant in Lake Lapcat, named Potted Cat Piranha Plants.[4]

Super Mario-kun

Potted Piranha Plants appear in the Wii U version of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker in Shadow-Play Alley. They have the same behavior as in Super Mario 3D World.
