There ought to be stricter consistency regarding fire-spitting Piranha Plants not directly identified as Fire Piranha Plant. Currently, the Fire Piranha Plant article includes the fire-spitter known as "Piranha Plant" in ''March of the Minis'' and ''Minis March Again!'' (known later in the ''Mario vs. Donkey Kong'' series as "Piranha with Fire" and then Fire Piranha Plant), but does not include the fire-spitter known as "Piranha Plant" in ''Dream Team'' and ''The Origami King''. I think it should be consistent across the board - all of these either belong in the Piranha Plant or Fire Piranha Plant article. Personally, I'd go with the latter since it seems pretty clear that "Fire" tends to be dropped when the normal variant doesn't appear in the same game, making them "Piranha Plants" in the general sense rather than specifically so. This is also applicable to Fire Nipper Plant and Fire P-Pakkun, especially the former as currently the ''Dream Team'' appearance is considered Fire Nipper Plant yet ''The Origami King'' appearance is considered regular Nipper Plant.

:I'm honestly thinking the former, for the same reason as chasy Bills in 3D games being on the main Bullet Bill page. It seems more like the DT enemy ''is'' based on Nipper Plants in general rather than an obscure one-time enemy in SMB3. I think we should reflect what the game itself considers.
