Talk:Frost Piranha

Weren't Frost Piranhas in Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, in Fahr Fahr Outpost? -- Son of Suns

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Is the alternate costume in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate actually based on Frost Piranhas? The Piranha Plant's blue coloring has a yellow stem, rather than blue or green, making it resemble their underground Super Mario Bros. appearance instead. --TheFlameChomp (talk) 09:04, 4 November 2018 (EST)

Probably neither, given the underground one is deep teal with a dark orange stem, and has dark orange spots. Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 14:47, 4 November 2018 (EST)

Putrid Piranha

Why is this considered a variant of Putrid Piranha? I get that they have the same sprite, but Ice Piranhas have the same sprite as Fire Piranhas, and the former are just counted as a Piranha Plant variant. Besides, facing sideways seems to be standard for the spittier Piranhas and Goombario's tattle basically treats it as a Piranha Plant, but icier. 85.243.109.179 16:00, December 29, 2020 (EST)

The information is derived from the first Paper Mario where indeed, the Frost Piranha appears as a stronger variant of the Putrid Piranha, as Frost Piranha is a recolor of Putrid and shares Putrid's attacks (except the element is ice). As for facing sideways, I can find only two Piranha Plants that do face to the side in the first Paper Mario, and that's Putrid and Frost Piranha. For the later games, this isn't really the case any more (in Thousand-Year Door, Frost lacks a breath attack). I think Piranha Plant should be listed as an additional variant to account for the later games, but the Putrid Piranha listed as a source species makes sense to me. It's me, Mario!
