Deku Babas are a {{wp|Venus flytrap}}-like species, like [[Piranha Plant]]s, although [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] has once mentioned that Deku Babas were designed by crossing a dog with the ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' enemy [[clam]].<ref>IGN Staff (December 2, 1997).

In ''Mario Kart 8'' and ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe'', two Deku Babas appear as enemies in a section of [[Hyrule Circuit]], after the exit of [[zeldawiki:Hyrule Castle|Hyrule Castle]] near the end of the course. They are designed after their appearance in ''[[zeldawiki:The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword|The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword]]'', and they behave the same as Piranha Plants do in {{classic-link|GCN|Yoshi Circuit}}. If a racer drives near a Deku Baba, it lunges at them, attempting to bite them, knocking them over should they be hit. The Deku Babas periodically switch between four different positions.
