'''Ptooies''' ("'''Fuufuu Pakkun'''" in Japan) are a type of [[Piranha Plant]] that have the ability to walk, although some of them are stationed in [[Warp Pipe|pipes]]. These plants have appeared in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', ''[[Super Princess Peach]]'', and ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]''.

==History==
A Ptooie can be identified by the spiked ball it suspends in the air over its mouth. Occasionally, Ptooies will spit the spiked ball high into the air in order to inflict damage on passing travelers. As with standard Piranha Plants, Ptooies can be destroyed with [[fireball]]s, [[hammer]]s, [[Koopa Shell]]s, or [[Raccoon Mario|Raccoon Mario's]] tail. In ''Super Princess Peach'', if [[Peach]] uses Rage to pound the ground or simply uses Poundbrella nearby, the ball will be lost, but Ptooie will survive. They will then simply move back and forth slowly until defeated. Even without the ball, Ptooies cannot be stomped. In ''[[New Super Mario Bros Wii]]'' there are some [[Piranha Plants ]] that look similar to Ptooies and they're called [[Stalking Piranha Plants]]. They exist in World 5 as common enemies and in World 6 as rare enemies.

Ptooies made a few appearances in ''[[The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', where they would always attack [[Mario]] and/or his friends on sight.

Ptooies in the show were capable of speaking in the episode "[[Never Koop a Koopa]]", despite the fact that most members of the Piranha Plant family never speak at all.

Ptooies ("Fuufuu Pakkun" in Japan) are a type of Piranha Plant that have the ability to walk, although some of them are stationed in pipes. These plants have appeared in Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Princess Peach and "New Super Mario Bros. Wii".

A Ptooie can be identified by the spiked ball it suspends in the air over its mouth. Occasionally, Ptooies will spit the spiked ball high into the air in order to inflict damage on passing travelers. As with standard Piranha Plants, Ptooies can be destroyed with fireballs, hammers, Koopa Shells, or Raccoon Mario's tail. In Super Princess Peach, if Peach uses Rage to pound the ground or simply uses Poundbrella nearby, the ball will be lost, but Ptooie will survive. They will then simply move back and forth slowly until defeated. Even without the ball, Ptooies cannot be stomped. In New Super Mario Bros Wii there are some Piranha Plants that look similar to Ptooies and they're called Stalking Piranha Plants. They exist in World 5 as common enemies and in World 6 as rare enemies.
