Nipper Dandelions are obstacles in Yoshi's Island DS. They are dandelion-like flowers that are made up of four Nipper Spores. When blown by strong winds (usually caused by a Windbag), a Nipper Dandelion releases its Nipper Spores into the air. The spores then fall to the ground and turn into Nipper Plants.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Nipper Dandelions are mentioned briefly by Viridi during Palutena's Guidance dialogue for Piranha Plant.
