Getting to know a Random Nintendo Character!!! (Part 2) :::Piranha Plant:::

Piranha Plant

First game : Super Mario Bros. (NES 1985) - in-game enemy

Latest Appearance : Super Paper Mario (Wii 2007) - in-game enemy

Age: ???

Appearance
Often resembling a Venus Flytrap, the Piranha Plant is ususally red with white spots, with a green, leafy body. They usually have white lips with razor-sharp teeth. Piranha Plants typically hide within pipes, periodically emerging and ensnaring unwary passersby. Some species can also spit fireballs. Others live entirely outside pipes, being either rooted in the ground or even walking about on rootlike legs.

He/She really isn't a villian, but more of an environmental hazard, although forms of the Piranha Plant have taken the life of a villian. They pop out of pipes, some of which mario can enter, and attack with thier sharp teeth. Others are able to walk around or are planted in the ground itself. These are even more dangerous. The most dangerous are probably teh ones that can shoot fireballs though. Mario obviously doesn't like these, despite his often affection toward plants.

Thing you probably dont' want to know
On the television series based on Super Mario Bros., Piranha Plants made various appearances, usually acting as obstacles for the heroes, much as they do in the games. In the Super Mario Bros. 3 cartoon, Venus Fire Traps and Ptooie plants were used in a manner similar to guns. Additionally, a Super Mario World episode called "Fire Sale" featured a vociferous, wise-cracking Venus Fire Trap named Mama Fire Plant, whom Kootie Pie kidnaps in order to heat her domain in Iced Land.
