'''River Piranha Plants''' are a variant of [[Piranha Plant]] that, as their name implies, lives in rivers. They appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'', ''[[Super Mario Run]]'' starting from the version 3.0.4 update, and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe]]''. They greatly resemble the [[Jumping Piranha Plant]] of ''[[Super Mario World]]'' in design, as well as real-life floating plants, like [[Wikipedia: Lemnoideae|duckweeds]] and [[Wikipedia: Limnobium laevigatum|frogbit]].
'''River Piranha Plants''' are sub-species of [[Piranha Plant]]s that appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' and ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. They appear in [[World 5-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5-1]] as common enemies in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. They also appear in [[Fliprus Lake]] and [[Seesaw Bridge]] in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''. As their name implies, they live in rivers. When [[Mario]] is not around, they blow green spike balls like a [[Ptooie]]'s method of attacking. When Mario approaches, however, they suck in and bring the spike ball to their lips and slowly blow it upwards to attack. Just like regular Piranha Plants, they can be defeated with [[Fire Flower|fireballs]] or a [[Star|Starman]]. The spike ball itself can be taken out with a shell or the Starman, after which the River Piranha Plant will sweat and panic in place, unable to do anything.

When Mario approaches, they suck in and bring the spike ball to their lips and slowly blow it upwards to attack. Just like regular Piranha Plants, they can be defeated with [[fireball]]s or a [[Super Star|Star]]. Hitting it with an [[iceball]] will also freeze it in place.  The spike ball itself can be taken out with a shell or the Star, after which the River Piranha Plant will sweat and panic in place, unable to do anything.
