The head of a Piranha Plant is most commonly either red or green with multiple other colors. Originally, Piranha Plants were found exclusively in [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s, darting out and biting anything near. Currently, Piranha Plants can be found both in and out of pipes, and may constantly bite or wait for Mario to approach to do so.

In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', Piranha Plants are found throughout the game, retaining their biting attack. Here, along with being defeated with fireballs, Koopa shells and Starman powers, Piranha Plants could also be beaten with the tail of [[Raccoon Mario]], [[Tanooki Suit]] and [[Hammer Mario]]'s [[hammer]]s. Several variants of Piranha Plants are also introduced in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', including [[Fire Piranha Plant|Venus Fire Trap]], [[Big Piranha Plant|Piranhacus Giganticus]], and [[Ptooie]]. The variant hanging from above pipes is known as '''Hanging Piranha Plant'''<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13, page 9.</ref>. Most of these enemies appear in both green and red varieties. While the Red Piranha Plants act identically to the green ones unlike in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', they have an additional layer of leaves which makes them taller than green ones.<ref>[http://themushroomkingdom.net/images/remakes/smas/smas-smb3_w7-8_pipes_plants.png Screenshot containing both red and green Piranha Plants]</ref> There are also horizontal Piranha Plants; despite being red, these ones only have one layer of leaves. The remakes of the game gave Piranha Plants in horizontal pipes red leaves. There are also [[Nipper Plant|Walking Piranha]]s, juvenile versions of Piranha Plants; and invincible [[Muncher]]s which resemble Walking Piranhas more than Piranha Plants. Additionally, the [[Mushroom King|king]] of [[Pipe Land]] is transformed into a Piranha Plant by [[Ludwig von Koopa]]; in later ports of ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', the king is changed into a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] instead of a Piranha Plant.

This is the last main series ''Super Mario'' game where Piranha Plants have green heads; while this aspect was used on [[Beanstalk]]s in ''[[Super Mario World]]'' and later games in the series, red has since then been the standard color for these enemies.

This is the only enemy in this game that originates from the previous ''Super Mario'' games that is not a sub-species or otherwise changed.

[[File:SMW2 Piranha Plant.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', Piranha Plants are known as variously as '''Wild Piranhas''',<ref>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. Page 67.</ref> '''Wild Piranha Plants''',<ref name=P80>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide.

"''This Red Flower swallows Yoshi whole! He’s just one of the 100 new enemies that inhabit Yoshi’s Island.''""</ref> in one preview. They are drastically changed; instead of being rooted in pipes, Piranha Plants are found planted in the ground. Instead of attacking at intervals, Piranha Plants simply wait in a miniaturized form, growing larger and lunging at a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]] if approached. Also, instead of simply trying to bite Yoshi, they will eat him and then spit him out, causing him to lose Baby Mario and his [[Yoshi Egg]]s. They cannot be jumped on or swallowed, so they must be defeated with eggs or by spitting an enemy at them. Defeating them causes their heads to flip backwards, followed by them withering.
''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' also has a Piranha Plant boss named [[Naval Piranha]], who is grown gigantic in size by [[Kamek]]'s magic. [[Propeller Piranha|Hootie the Blue Fish]], an indigo variant that can fly with its propeller-like leaves and has serrated lips instead of teeth, makes its debut in this game, alongside the [[Wild Ptooie Piranha]], a powerful, green [[Pokey (projectile)|Needlenose]]-spitting variant. The [[Blow Hard]] enemy resembles a Piranha Plant, but itself is actually a type of [[Pokey]]. [[Nipper Plant]]s also appear as enemies in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''; here, Nipper Plants are usually spawned from [[Nipper Spore]]s, which Naval Piranha is capable of spitting.
====''Yoshi's Story''====
[[File:YSPirahnaPlant.png|thumb|left|100px|A Piranha Plant in ''Yoshi's Story'']]
[[File:PirahnaPlantYS.png|frame]]
In ''[[Yoshi's Story]]'', Piranha Plants have spike-covered stalks and are shown to be capable of growing to huge proportions, somewhat resembling [[Naval Piranha]]. Their teeth also appear to be on their lips. The game has also introduces several other variations of Piranha Plants, such as the flying [[Piranha Pest]] and the grounded [[Piranha Sprout (Yoshi's Story)|Piranha Sprout]]s. Piranha Plants commonly appear in [[Piranha Grove]]. When hit by an egg, these giant Piranha Plants fall over with a sound like a falling tree.
====''Yoshi Topsy-Turvy''====
Piranha Plants appear in ''[[Yoshi Topsy-Turvy]]''. Here, they are immobile and unable to be defeated. It holds Yoshi in its mouth for about three seconds and then spits him out if he goes into one of them.
====''Yoshi Touch & Go''====
Piranha Plants and Wild Ptooie Piranhas in ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'' and have the same attack pattern in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', though they both take three eggs to defeat, changing color to indicate their health from green, yellow, to red. They both give a total of four points.
====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
[[File:YIpiranhaplant.jpg|thumb|125px|Artwork of a Piranha Plant in ''Yoshi Topsy-Turvy'' and ''Yoshi's Island DS'']]
In ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Piranha Plants once again appear as common enemies, along with [[Wild Ptooie Piranha]]s, Nipper Plants and Nipper Spores, and act just as in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''. Several new Piranha Plants also appear, such as [[Polterpiranha]]s, [[Bungee Piranha]]s and [[Nipper Dandelion]]s, along with a Piranha Plant boss named [[Big Bungee Piranha]].
It is possible to kill the Piranha Plants that are displayed in the [[Island Museum]].
====''Yoshi's New Island''====
[[File:Piranha Plant Artwork - Yoshi's New Island.png|thumb|left|140px|A Piranha Plant, as seen in ''Yoshi's New Island'']]
Piranha Plants return in ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]'', where they act similarly to how they did in the predecessors, one difference being that they are never found in a miniature state. Most of the Piranha Plants in the game are rooted in the ground, but several ones in the level [[Spin-Lift Drift]] come in and out of pipes like in the 2D ''Super Mario'' games.

[[File:YWW Piranha Plant.jpg|thumb|140px|Piranha Plant artwork for ''Yoshi's Woolly World'']]
Piranha Plants reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. They lunge in the direction of Yoshi and munch air continuously, much like the Piranha Plants that do not dwell Warp Pipes from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. When they are hit by a yarn ball, it ties them up, allowing a Yoshi to jump onto and defeat them. Like the other Yoshi games, making contact with a Piranha Plant will swallow a Yoshi and spit him out, taking some hearts from his health meter.
====''Yoshi's Crafted World''====
In ''[[Yoshi's Crafted World]]'', Piranha Plants are found on both Yoshi's path and in the backdrop. They can be defeated by smacking them with an egg. Background Piranha Plants are unable to hurt Yoshi. A large cardboard Piranha Plant named [[Spike the Piranha]] appears as the boss of [[Acorn Forest]].

They are also indestructible and capable of defeating [[Wario]] instantly upon contact.

Piranha Plants reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]''. They lunge in the direction of Yoshi and munch air continuously, much like the Piranha Plants that do not dwell Warp Pipes from the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. When they are hit by a yarn ball, it ties them up, allowing a Yoshi to jump onto and defeat them. Like the other Yoshi games, making contact with a Piranha Plant will swallow a Yoshi and spit him out, taking some hearts from his health meter.

Additionally, one of Mario's Blaster weapons has a design based on a Piranha Plant. In ''[[Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope]]'', a desk lamp resembling a Piranha Plant appears inside of the [[WM ARC]].
