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.

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 and Super Princess Peach.

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 another Piranha plant enemy with legs will appear.
