A Piranha Plant is an enemy and one of Bowser’s minions in the Mario series. The Piranha Plant is a large plant with a round head and a mouthful of teeth that will pop out of a pipe usually. Its first appearance was in Super Mario Bros. where it would pop out of a pipe. These were green colored plants that wouldn't come out if the player stood directly next to the pipe. In Super Mario Bros. 2, a red variant was introduced. These were faster and would always pop out whether or not Mario stood next to or over a pipe. Though they are usually in pipes, they sometimes aren't, such as in Super Mario 64 where all the Piranha Plants are on ground.
In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, the player would have to throw eggs at its head a certain amount of times until it would die depending on what color it is. Some Piranha Plants can also shoot fireballs out of their mouths, and this type of plant is called a Venus Fire Trap.
In addition to the Mario platformer games, the species have also appeared as obstacles in Mario Sports, such as in the Mario Kart series and Mario Superstar Baseball where they would try to bite anything that came near them.
