- This article is about the enemy. For the similarly named Rock-Candy Mines course, see Walking Piranha Plants!
Stalking Piranha Plants[1] are a type of Piranha Plant that first appears in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. They appear in World 5 as common enemies and World 6 as rare enemies. When Mario and his friends are not around, they walk around on two legs, like Ptooies. When Mario approaches, however, they stretch out their necks to block Mario's path and to attack him. Stalking Piranha Plants also appear as the enemy of the World 5 Enemy Course. Outside the map are the Piranha Plants vines which can block areas and can only be moved by completing a stage. These enemies can be defeated by a fireball, ice-ball, Super Star, or a shell. Like most Piranha Plants, these enemies cannot be picked up when frozen.
Stalking Piranha Plants appear in New Super Mario Bros. U in Soda Jungle, Rock-Candy Mines and World 
Coin-7, with the same tactics.
Stalking Piranha Plants return in Yoshi's Woolly World and Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World, being made of yarn and ribbon. They mainly appear in Naval Piranha's Sewer. In these games, 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.
In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, variants of Stalking Piranha Plants known as Fire Stalking Piranha Plants appear in the Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser mode. 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 Piranhas.
