They are similar to [[Elasto-Piranha]]s from ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]'', but with a design closer to [[Ptooie]] from ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. | ||

Stalking Piranha Plants first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', where they appear in [[World 5-1 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 5-1]], [[World 6-3 (New Super Mario Bros. Wii)|World 6-3]], and the World 5 [[Enemy Course]]. When the player(s) is/are not nearby, they walk around on two legs, like [[Ptooie]]s, and when the player(s) approach(es) them, they stretch out their necks up and downwards in order to block the player's/players' paths and to attack them. These enemies can be defeated by a [[fireball]], a [[Super Star|Star]], or a [[shell]], or by being [[Ground Pound|ground-pound]]ed when frozen by an [[iceball]]. Like most Piranha Plants, these enemies cannot be picked up when frozen. | Stalking Piranha Plants first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros.

Stalking Piranha Plants reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and in [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|its 3DS port]], being made of yarn and ribbon. They mainly appear in the level [[Naval Piranha's Sewer]]. In this game, if the stalk of the plant is hit, then the head will fall down next to the body, and the two will rejoin each other shortly after. When the head and body rejoin, a sound plays similar to that of a Dry Bones' regeneration sound. Attacking the head will permanently defeat the Stalking Piranha Plant. They attack similarly to how they attack in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''. | Stalking Piranha Plants reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and in [[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World|its 3DS port]], being made of yarn and ribbon.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Piranha Plant has an attack where it stretches its stem to bite distanced opponents, which is based off of Stalking Piranha Plants and [[Elasto-Piranha]]s. On [[Palutena's Temple]], Stalking Piranha Plants (just called '''Stalking Piranhas''') are mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant#Super Smash Bros.
