In their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Venus Fire Traps appear as common enemies in most worlds. Their attack pattern basically consists of hiding in [[Warp Pipe]]s, much like regular Piranha Plants, and, when [[Mario]] approaches, rising from the pipe and spitting an unstoppable fireball in his direction. Like regular Piranha Plants, they can only be defeated with power-ups, and depending on how tall they are, appear in red or green. In some levels, Venus Fire Traps can spit two times in a row, and some inhabit quicksand instead of pipes. | In their first appearance in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Venus Fire Traps appear as common enemies in most worlds.

Standard Fire Piranha Plants make their [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] debut in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' under the name Fire Piranha in the American English version. They appear in [[Rugged Road]] and [[Rumble Volcano]]. They look like regular Piranha Plants, but will eventually start spitting fireballs at Mario as he gets near them. If any of these fireballs touch Mario, he loses 5 [[Heart Point|HP]]. In battle, Fire Piranha Plants can either spew a cloud of hot ash towards Mario or more rarely spit out a fireball at him. | Standard Fire Piranha Plants make their [[Paper Mario (series)|''Paper Mario'' series]] debut in ''[[Paper Mario: Sticker Star]]'' under the name '''Fire Piranha''' in the American English version.
