Red Piranha Plant

Red Piranha Plants are a variant of Piranha Plant featured in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. They resemble Piranha Plants, particularly using their sprite design from Super Mario Bros., but with a red head instead of dark green. Behaviorally, a Red Piranha Plant differs in that it moves faster and even continues its pattern of emerging from its Warp Pipe if Mario or Luigi are standing on it.
Like regular Piranha Plants, Red Piranha Plants have the same animation of biting their teeth as they emerge up and down their Warp Pipe. A Red Piranha Plant can be defeated from a fireball thrown by Fire Mario or being touched while Mario is under the invincibility effects of a Starman.
As of Super Mario World, a Piranha Plant's head has mainly been colored red with white spots. They are not the same as Red Piranha Plants, which are merely distinguishable from their behavior alone.
