A '''Propeller Piranha''', originally known as a '''Hootie the Blue Fish'''<ref name=guide>Miller, Kent, and Terry Munson. ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide. [[media:SMW2 Guide 127.jpg|Page 127]].</ref> (pluralized '''Hooties'''),<ref name=guide/> is a purple species of [[Piranha Plant]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and ''[[Yoshi's New Island]]''. Propeller Piranhas bear a strong resemblance to [[Jumping Piranha Plant]]s and [[Piranha Pest]]s; they attack in a manner similar to the latter, but unlike other Piranha Plants in the games, the Propeller Piranhas are near-invincible enemies for a [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. They were originally named after the band {{wp|Hootie & the Blowfish}}.

A [[ice watermelon|blue watermelon]] or [[fire watermelon|red watermelon]] can temporarily defeat Hooties, but they respawn. A [[POW Block]] can defeat them permanently. If a Yoshi makes contact with a Hootie, it will inhale the Yoshi and chew on him for a short time similar to that of [[Piranha Plant|Wild Piranha]]s before spitting him out. While a Hootie chews, it repeatedly flashes to a light-blue color with red lips.

Early concepts show that a Hootie was seemingly initially intended to have the same color as a normal Wild Piranha, indicating a connection to the Jumping Piranha Plant.<ref>https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Edt7U5HWoAAmW8Q?format=png&name=900x900</ref>
