Mama Fireplant



Mama Fireplant is a large, talking Piranha Plant (more speficially, a Venus Fire Trap) and a character from the Super Mario World episode "Fire Sale".

Mama Fireplant lives on the outskirts of Dome City in a dome-house. Unlike most Piranha Plants, Mama Fireplant is actually nice, aiding the nearby inhabitants of Dome City by using her fireballs to give them heat.

During "Fire Sale", Mama Fireplant was kidnapped by Kootie Pie Koopa and her Koopa Troopa henchman; Kootie Pie had planned on using Mama Fireplant to heat-up her palace in Ice Land, Kootie Pie also planned on making a fortune selling-off Mama Fireplant's fireballs to the cavepeople.

Yoshi, Mario, Luigi and Princess Toadstool managed to track Mama Fireplant to Kootie Pie's rapidly melting palace. After some trouble involving Porcupine Fish, it was Yoshi who saved Mama Fireplant, using her pot as a sled to slide-out of Kootie Pie's palace.

Mama Fireplant was returned to her home in Dome City, where she proceeded to throw a barbecue party in Yoshi's honor.

Trivia

 * Interestingly, Mama Fireplant has what seems to be a full head of hair on her head, though its possible that this was simply a wig.
