User blog:Ainex234/Game Theory: Piranha Plant's Dark Secret!

Earlier today, Piranha Plant was released as a playable character in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. This is something fans have been waiting for for a long time, as the Plant is an highly popular character. However, as I was playing as the Plant ingame, I couldn't help but feel that there was something odd about it. The Piranha Plants have teeth, a tongue and, as smash reveals, legs, none of which are features plants are known to have. [https://www.mariowiki.com/Piranha_Sprout_(Captain_Toad:_Treasure_Tracker) The sprouts even have fins! ] . This could be considered simply one of the Mario universe's oddities, as many other plants in the mushroom kingdom are seen to have facial features. No other plants, however, have bones. You know what does, though? Fish. And consider the names of the Piranha Plant's many variations. Dino Piranha, Naval Piranha, Mom Pirannha... almost all of them have "Piranha" in their name, and very few have "Plant". Almost as if the piranha-ness is a more integral feature than the plant-ness. And you know what one species of Piranha Plant, native to Yoshi's Island, is called? Hootie the Blue Fish.

We've been wrong from the beginning. They aren't plants that resemble piranhas. They're Piranhas that resemble plants!
