Talk:Potted Piranha Plant

Umm...I would just like to say that every time I played multiplayer with the Potted Piranha Plant, it powered everyone else down. Many other videos example this as well.--Herobrine8219 (talk) 22:33, 15 January 2014 (EST)Herobrine8219


 * That would be weird, as far as I can see, it powers them down if they touch it, not if it bites them. Also it would hurt you and turn on you if your not holding it, and when like that it is a normal Pirhana Plant. I hope this doesn't lead to a contradiction.

A question
Didn't potted piranha plants first appear in the Mario Party 3 minigame Storm Chasers? Metal Boo (talk) 11:29, 20 June 2014 (EDT)
 * Well, technically yes, but they don't actually have the same function as the ones in SM3DW and MK8 do. MarioComix (talk) 15:45, 20 June 2014 (EDT)

Rename
Just as the rename template at the top of the article says, this article should probably be renamed to "Piranha Plant (potted)". The name "Potted Piranha Plant" is conjectural, and the Mario Kart 8 Deluxe trailer refers to them as just "Piranha Plants". -- 20:12, 28 March 2017 (EDT)
 * In the North America trailer for MK8D, it's misspelled "Pirahna Plant." Should this be worth mentioning? – Owencrazyboy9 (talk) 20:42, 28 March 2017 (EDT)
 * I'll say yes to Owen, but it might be best to make a proposal about the rename, as "Potted Piranha Plant" sounds better to me. 20:51, 28 March 2017 (EDT)
 * My mom (an non-user) says that Potted Piranha Plant sounds better to her, and I agree with her. 20:53, 28 March 2017 (EDT)
 * We could just mention on the article that they are occasionally referred to as "Piranha Plants". I do agree that Potted Piranha Plant sounds better, I just made the comment about renaming it because "Piranha Plant" is more official. -- 21:06, 28 March 2017 (EDT)
 * Considering they typoed the name, I'm not sure if I can regard it as "official". Does the Mario Kart 8 eManual (as I'm calling it) list the items? I'd check that myself, but I kinda sorta just turned off my Wii U... 22:22, 28 March 2017 (EDT)
 * I just checked the manual, and they are in fact called Piranha Plants. It can be seen at 1:00 in this video. -- 22:27, 28 March 2017 (EDT)
 * Yep, just checked the manual myself as well. Simply "Piranha Plant" is the offical name, so I'm all for the move. 00:36, 29 March 2017 (EDT)
 * Do you think a talk page proposal should be created about the rename? -- 09:35, 29 March 2017 (EDT)
 * It's a conjectural name moving to an official name. So no.
 * OK, thanks. I will move it now. -- 09:39, 29 March 2017 (EDT)
