A '''Wild Ptooie Piranha''', also known as '''Wild Ptooie Piranha Plant''',<ref>{{cite|author=Miller, Kent; Munson, Terry|title=''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' Player's Guide|language=American English|date=1995|publisher=Nintendo of America|page=97}}</ref> '''Ptooie Piranha Plant''',<ref>{{cite|author=Black, Fletcher|title=''Yoshi's Island DS'' PRIMA Official Game Guide|isbn=0761555765|language=American English|publisher=[[Prima Games]]|page=117, 118, 121, 187, 210, 225, 226, 229, 249, 250, 252, 278, 280, 281, 316}}</ref> or '''Green Piranha Plant''',<ref>''[[Prima Games|Playing With Super Power: Nintendo Super NES Classics eGuide]]'', ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi’s Island'' Confidential Information Tab.</ref> is a [[Piranha Plant]] that shoots spiky objects, often [[Pokey (projectile)|Pokey]]s, at [[Yoshi (species)|Yoshi]]. It has a green color, as opposed to the regular red of any Piranha Plant. They are usually depicted with a tongue of the same color as its head.

==History==
===''Yoshi's Island'' series===
====''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' / ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''====
In ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' and ''[[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3]]'', Wild Ptooie Piranhas spit three consecutive yellow [[Pokey (projectile)|Needlenose]]s in the direction of Yoshi, then rest for a brief moment before repeating the attack. The Needlenoses are shot in upward arcs of varying lengths; the first two Needlenoses are always shot at a close distance while the third one is sent further. If Yoshi comes into contact with a Wild Ptooie Piranha, it will act like a regular [[Piranha Plant|Wild Piranha]], grabbing him in its mouth for a while and causing him to lose [[Baby Mario]].

Wild Ptooie Piranhas can be attacked by throwing objects at them, such as [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]]s or enemies, and require three such attacks to defeat. They turn yellow with the first hit, then red with the second. They can also be defeated instantly by rolling a [[Chomp Rock]] onto them.

As shown by [[List of Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island pre-release and unused content|prototype builds]] of the game, they were originally intended to spit [[Spiked Fun Guy (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|Spiked Fun Guy]]s.<ref>TCRF. [[tcrf:Proto:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/ys_romX_0/World 5#World 5-4|Proto:Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island/ys_romX_0/World 5 § World 5-4]]. ''The Cutting Room Floor''. Retrieved October 30, 2021.</ref>

====''Yoshi Touch & Go''====
In ''[[Yoshi Touch & Go]]'', Wild Ptooie Piranhas spit [[Spiny Egg]]s, which can be destroyed with an egg or a tap on the Touch Screen.

====''Yoshi's Island DS''====
Wild Ptooie Piranhas return in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', acting the same as in the predecessor. Here, they can also be defeated instantly with an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] thrown by [[Baby Donkey Kong|Baby DK]].

===''Yoshi's Woolly World'' / ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''===
Wild Ptooie Piranhas reappear in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', acting fairly similarly to previous games. Unlike previously, however, when they are hit with a yarn ball, they do not change to a different color. Their projectiles ([[Pokey Pom]]s and [[Shy Guy]]s) also roll along the ground.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Wild Ptooie Piranhas are mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant]]. Piranha Plant’s yellow costume also resembles a yellow Wild Ptooie Piranha.
