Piranha Plants were intended to appear in every vertical pipe from World 1-2 onward. However, a [[glitch]] on sprite limitations leaves many pipes barren. This is best seen with the underwater section in World 8-4, due to the water tiles overlapping the Piranha Plant in that area. This glitch was fixed in the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version, meaning that the underwater Piranha Plant is now visible. The Piranha Plant is colored normally even in this area, though had it been properly rendered in the original, it would have been colored gray like all green enemies in underwater levels, including the "green" Cheep Cheeps.

Originally, during the game's development, they would've never existed if not for an enemy resembling the [[Snake (Mario Clash)|Snake]]s from ''Mario Clash'', which they would ultimately replace. This may explain the initial green coloration of the Piranha Plants in this game and [[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels|its original sequel]] before being replaced by the more-iconic red coloration since [[Super Mario Bros. 3|the third entry]].
