 So, in the original SMB manual, pipes are described as pots, ''actual'' Piranha Plants in pots appear as enemies in SML2, and many of the appearances here seem a tad generic in conception. If [[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!|Chain Chomp]] and [[Mario Kart DS|Bullet Bill]] can be an enemy and an item at the same time, so can Piranha Plant. At the very least, maybe merge everything that doesn't have the distinct JP name associated with it.

 :Yeah, I agree with at least a partial merge. Piranha Plants basically behave the same whether they're in a pot, a pipe, or just planted in the ground. At the very least I'd like to see the generic instances of potted Piranha Plants merged (Super Show, Mario Party, Rabbids, Smash, Tennis Aces) and leave this page as being only for its context as an item, although a full merge would be fine too. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 13:51, March 14, 2020 (EDT)

 Another thing that is important to note is that it looks like an earlier MKAGP game had a ''pink'' potted Piranha as an item, though I do not know the exact context of it. [[User:Doc von Schmeltwick|Doc von Schmeltwick]] ([[User talk:Doc von Schmeltwick|talk]]) 16:59, April 3, 2020 (EDT)
 :<s>If you're talking about GP DX, I noticed and it would stay here unless we find out it's not an item. For now, I'm assuming it is one.</s> [[Piranha_Plant#Mario_Kart_Arcade_GP_subseries|Yep, it's an item]]. Not quite the same function as Mario Kart 8, but close enough that I think it can be moved here. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 17:40, April 3, 2020 (EDT)
+==Restoration of its SMBSS, MP3, M&RKB, and MPTT100 credentials==
+I'd like to propose restoring this baddie's [[The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!]], [[Mario Party 3]], [[Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle]], and [[Mario Party: The Top 100]] credentials. They were in pots, either being weapons, an unfortunate victim of one of [[Spawny]]'s fusions with another [[Rabbid]], or just potted plants to grow in the rain. It's just not right to erase history just because they're named ''Piranha Plants'', when in reality, they're just different because of being in a pot. I hope Waluigi can undo the error he has made, because as they say, "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it".--[[User:Pyroman99|Pyroman99]] ([[User talk:Pyroman99|talk]]) 16:57, July 5, 2020 (EDT)
+:I don't appreciate you calling my proposal an "error" just because you personally disagree with it, but that's not the point here. I suggest you read the arguments in the proposal and the [[Talk:Piranha Plant (potted)#Potential for merging?|discussion that preceded it]]. The point of this page in its current state is for potted Piranha Plants as an item, not any generic occurrence of a Piranha Plant being in a pot. If you still feel like the other sections need to be added back, you can make another proposal to undo it. --{{User:Waluigi Time/sig}} 17:11, July 5, 2020 (EDT)
+::The "Piranha Plant in a pot" design aspect is coincidental with the current usage where you can hold the Piranha Plant, in a handheld plant pot, and use it specifically as an item. If anything, the ''Mario Party'' appearances could be merged back in since you do hold them in a pot, and though it's not quite the same role as the current Piranha Plant item, it could be mentioned as being the "precursor" to the item. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 19:31, July 5, 2020 (EDT)
+:::Plus, in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, Toad holds a potted Piranha Plant in one episode, so it should also be added back in.--[[Special:Contributions/24.44.76.88|24.44.76.88]] 19:09, July 31, 2020 (EDT)
+::::Again, that requires a proposal. {{User:Toadette the Achiever/sig}} 10:41, August 1, 2020 (EDT)
+== Merge? ==
+The Super Smash Bros. Ultimate [[Piranha Plant#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|section]] has Piranha Plant (the fighter), which is in a pot. So should we merge this with [[Piranha Plant (potted)]]? [[User:DarkNight|DarkNight]] ([[User talk:DarkNight|talk]]) 01:00, July 11, 2020 (EDT)
+:The purpose of this page is to detail the Piranha Plant, that lives in a pot, that is carryable and used as an item. I don't particularly think they were specifically making the item Piranha Plant into a playable fighter, but rather, they made the concept of the Piranha Plant enemy into a playable fighter. And by coincidence, they landed on the same design choice, by using the plant pot (or, they were inspired by this item to make the pot the primary design choice). At best we could mention that Piranha Plant primarily being in a pot in ''SSBU'' was inspired by the item. [[User:MarioComix|MarioComix]] ([[User talk:MarioComix|talk]]) 01:05, July 11, 2020 (EDT)
