Piranha Plant: Difference between revisions

The Piranha Plants returned in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]'', which was the sequel to ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'' in Japan, during the second conquest of the Mushroom Kingdom. The green variant found in the previous game does not appear after [[World 3 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 3]]. Starting from [[World 4-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 4-1]], they are replaced by the newly introduced red-colored variants, which were much quicker than the green variety, and can emerge from their pipe even if the player is next to it. However, both varieties will not appear if the player is standing directly on top of the pipe. They appear more frequently than in the previous game, and the red variant have been the most common Piranha Plants seen throughout the ''Mario'' series since. Beginning from [[World 5-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 5-1]], they will pop from upside-down pipes as well, making Mario or Luigi's way a bit more difficult. Piranha Plants are also found underwater in [[World 9-1 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9-1]] and [[World 9-2 (Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels)|World 9-2]]. Piranha Plants also appear in the pipes in the [[Warp Zone]] in both the original ''Super Mario Bros.'' and ''Lost Levels'', though they all immediately disappear once the "WELCOME TO WARP ZONE!" message appears. They will also appear out of the exit pipe at the end of every underground or underwater level due to the Goal Pole still being located above ground in those levels. In the ''Super Mario All-Stars'' version of both the original and ''The Lost Levels'', Piranha Plants are the only non-castle enemies that do not appear in any of the level preview illustrations. In ''[[All Night Nippon Super Mario Bros.]]'', all Piranha Plants are replaced with Pakkun Okapī, but otherwise still act the same.
