====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====

Venus Fire Traps also appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'' where they are referred by this name for the last time. They reuse their appearance from the previous ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games, with red and white spots. [[Big Fire Piranha|Big Venus Fire Trap]]s also appear in the game. In [[World 6-2 (New Super Mario Bros. 2)|World 6-2]], using a [[Gold Ring]] inside a bonus room turns the Venus Fire Trap into a golden Venus Fire Trap; it acts the same as a normal one, but when it is defeated Coins emerge from the Warp Pipe, like a normal Piranha Plant.

===''Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam''===

Fire Piranha Plants also appear in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam]]'', where they are found in the lighter side of [[Gloomy Woods]]. Their [[Paper Fire Piranha Plant|paper variants]] later appear during the second visit to [[Twinsy Tropics]]. Fire Piranha Plants can attack by spitting fireballs at the bros. They can either spit two small fireballs, which target Mario and Luigi, or a large fireball, which targets [[Paper Mario (character)|Paper Mario]]. The fireballs occasionally cause the [[burn]] status ailment. Fire Piranha Plants can also attack by stretching their head backwards, causing it to be pulled forwards quickly into one of the bros., which can be countered with a hammer.

===''Mario Tennis Aces''===

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===

While they do not appear in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Fire Piranha Plants are mentioned briefly by [[List of Smash Taunt characters#Viridi|Viridi]] during the [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for the [[Piranha Plant#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Piranha Plant]] fighter. Piranha Plant also spits fire from its mouth for its back air attack, referencing Fire Piranha Plants.
