A Nipper Plant.

A Nipper Plant is either a small white or pink Piranha Plant that stays in one place and Jumps up at you in Super Mario Bros. 3. A fire breathing Nipper Plant is at the end of World 7-8. Some of them can hop around making your landing harder.

In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island they're easier enemies and have no eyes. They hatch from spores, can be stepped on, and don't jump at you. The eggs they hatch from slowly fall to earth and can be swallowed. The only problem with these Nipper Plants is they appear in groups. They reappear--along with their spores--in Yoshi's Story and Yoshi's Island DS.

Nipper Plants were renamed Chompweeds in Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars. In this game, Chompweeds could not be battled. Instead of fighting Mario, these plants would jump up and steal a few coins if the plumber got too close. Stolen coins could not be recovered in the final game, but battle data for them exists, implying that they may have been intended to be enemies instead at one point.

Nipper Plants could possibly be young Pirhana Plants.

Appearances in Other Media

A Nipper Plant speaking to Bowser, from The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3.

Nipper Plants made a few appearances in The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3, where they behaved much like their game counterparts, in that they were capable of hopping around. On this show, Nipper Plants sported visible jaws that made them appear to be more menacing than their in-game counterparts.

In the episode "Reign Storm", a Nipper Plant was given a minor speaking role, where it spoke in a surprisingly deep drill sargeant-esque voice.

different-looking nipper plants appeared in other episodes such as "A Toadally Magical Adventure".
