Trottin' Piranha Plants[1] are variants of Piranha Plants in Super Mario Bros. Wonder that can walk along the ground similarly to Stalking Piranha Plants. They can also walk on ceilings.
Because of their specific anatomy of having no pipe attached to them, while consisting of legs and leaves for arms, they are similar to the Piranha Bean, as well as Petey Piranha and all his variations.
History[edit]
Super Mario Bros. Wonder[edit]
In Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Trottin' Piranha Plants can be found coming in and out of Warp Pipes much like normal Piranha Plants until the player gets close enough, at which point they fully come out and start walking around; others can be found already walking. It is possible to tell piped Trottin' Piranha Plants apart from regular Piranha Plants by their animation; Trottin' Piranha Plants grab onto the pipe with their leaves and pull themselves up, rather than slowly ascending and descending while already biting.
They most prominently appear in the levels Piranha Plants on Parade in Pipe-Rock Plateau and The Semifinal Test Piranha Plant Reprise in the Special World, which include Wonder Effects in which they sing, as well as a Break Time! level in Fungi Mines named after them.
A skeletal variant known as Trottin' Bone Piranha Plants appears in Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace.
Mario Tennis Fever[edit]
Trottin' Piranha Plants return in Mario Tennis Fever. During a Wonder Court Match, they can appear during certain Wonder Effects in the Flower Kingdom court where they walk back and forth across the net.
Profiles[edit]
- Trading card bio: These walking Piranha Plants will start singing once a certain Wonder Flower in Pipe-Rock Plateau is touched.
