Functionally, these are pretty similar to Munchers (despite looking a little more like the previous game's Piranha Plant, which had a one-off insta-KO trait).
m (Their behavior is completely different. Wouldn't it make more sense for them to be listed as relatives?)

'''Munchers''' are a near-invincible [[List of species|species]] of [[Piranha Plant]]. Unlike [[Nipper Plant]]s, Munchers are usually colored black and are immobile. Munchers act like [[Spike (obstacle)|spikes]], as touching them would damage [[Mario]] and [[Luigi]]. However, both [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshis]] (except in the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games) and the [[Goomba's Shoe]] can walk on them without harm. In a few levels, they spring from thin pipes. The only way for [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] to cross a patch of Munchers by himself is by acquiring a [[Super Star]], though Munchers are unaffected by [[Invincible Mario]] himself, or by carefully [[jump]]ing to the gaps between Muncher patches. Only a [[P Switch|Switch Block]] (in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''), a [[POW Block]], a [[Spiny Shell (red)|Spiny Shell]], or a big [[Goomba's Shoe|Goomba's Stiletto]] (all in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'') can defeat a Muncher.
