Pit Plant

Pit Plant First Appearance Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (2003) Parent Species Piranha Plant Related Species Prickly Piranha Plant Spiny Piranha Plant Pit Plants are a dark green colored variety of Big Piranha Plants with spikes on their faces that live in quicksand pits in the desert. Only one Pit Plant appears, in Mario Kart: Double Dash!! in Dry Dry Desert, where it is located in the quicksand pit waiting for racers to fall in. Though Dry Dry Desert returns as a retro course in Mario Kart 8 and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, the Pit Plant is absent as Lakitu pulls the player out of the pit before they fall in. Due to its behavior, it may be inspired from the real-life antlion. Similarly-acting regular Piranha Plants also appear in Yoshi Desert in Mario Kart: Super Circuit, although they spit out the karts they eat.
