The Plant Monster was a monster that appeared in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show episode "The Pied Koopa / Super Plant".
When Mario sprinkled too much of Dr. Toby's Super Plant Growth Formula onto Mama's dying basil bush, it caused the plant to grow into a leafy, semi-humanoid monster that was capable of running around and holding people in place. The Plant Monster managed to grab ahold of Luigi, who tried numerous methods of freeing himself. It wasn't until Luigi tried running that he managed to escape from the Plant Monster's grasp, but the Plant Monster eventually managed to grab ahold of both brothers.
Fortunately, Mario was still able to use the phone, and called for Dr. Toby, who brought over an antidote for his formula. Mario wrestled with the Plant Monster to keep it pinned to the floor, while Dr. Toby sprayed it, causing it to shrink back down to an ordinary basil bush.
Trivia
- Oddly enough, even though it had been defeated, the Plant Monster made a brief reappearace during the Til the next, everybody... Do the Mario! bit at the end of the episode.
