Maybe the lineage leading to plants broke off from that leading to animals after eyes had developed. Or maybe the latent magical energy in the MK automatically enchants stuff.

Plant's and animals split paths way way WAY before anything resmbleing an eye ever evolved. My guess is that they are plants that eveolved eyes on there own. Plants can detect sunlight, so it's not too farfetched of an idea that they could eventulally evolve some sort of eye.

Plants don't just have eyes, stars and moons and blocks do to.

Weren't they magically enchanted people? Apart from mushrooms and Fire Flowers.

They were in SMB, but that aspect of the game has not been present in any other games.

Perhaps Mushrooms and Fire Flowers have merely developed Eye-like markings.

Piranah plants have eyes. So why not other plants. Although piranah plant eyes are prbably more useful. But maby the 1up mushrooms are using their eyes to run away from Mario sometimes.

Piranah plants don't have eyes. I'm not sure how they see exactly, but I know it's not eyes. Perhaps echolocation.

I agree with the echolocation part. Wait... I got it! The Mushrooms and Fireflowers developed eye-like markings to fool herbivores so they wouldn't eat them... and the Carnivores wouldn't eat them as their sharper eyesight would be able to tell they're plants.

But they have eyes when they are in nipper form. I think that when the grow up, the eyes turn white as white parts of them start to turn red and white spots are formed to camaflouge the true eyes.

Where does it show they have eyes in Nipper form?
EDIT: Only the SMB3 ones have eyes. none of the others do.

Actualy, I think Yoshi Story was the only game were they didn't seem to have eyes. Or did they have eyes in that one too?

They don't have eyes in YI, or YIDS (I think). Anyways, have you heard of a creature that lives in salt water, sold as Sea Monkeys? They go through a stage when they have 3 eyes. What if the Piranha Plant has eyes when born, but later loses them in favour of a more superior echolocation system?

Seems plausible.
And the only Nipper Plants are from SMB3 and YI, correct?
And only the SMB3 ones have eyes.

Unless the ones in YI are really hard to see... or maybe the YI ones have already lost eyes and gained ecolocation, but the SMB3 ones haven't?

Seems plausible. And the only Nipper Plants are from SMB3 and YI, correct? And only the SMB3 ones have eyes. Actual nipper plants are also featured in Yoshi story and YI2. They also are shown with eyes in both the yoshi Island games. Well at leats in the official art they have eyes. I'd have to go back and check to see if they had eyes in the game bat in the official art they have eyes. |
