First topic

Is it just me, or does the Piranha Plant we see on Whomp’s Fortress painting use the “Bellsprout” design from Mario Kart 64? That red sphere at the bottom — I don’t see any V-shaped white or green lips. The one from Mario Kart 64 is almost perfectly round, like what we’re seeing here, and I can see how the yellow part of the mouth could blend in with the red at such low resolution. I guess you could argue that the Piranha Plant actually uses the classic design and is rotated in such a way that its mouth is facing the wall, and all we’re allowed to see is the back of the plant — but I don’t know, if I were the one who made that render, that would seem like an odd choice to me.

You can see some foliage right beside the head, making it look closer to its modern design. The Dab Master 03:02, October 18, 2025 (EDT)

To me, that little bit of green looks more like the grassy dirt slab that Mario has to jump on to reach the white stone wall at the beginning of the level. --Conradd (talk) 03:32, October 18, 2025 (EDT)
