Planties

Planties are the very first Minette type that is encountered. They are small round creatures with four-fingered hands and stubby feet.

Abilities
Planties have different types of plant-related things on their heads, which they use to attack enemies. All of them are immune to pollen, which other Minettes are allergic to. In addition, each Plantie type specializes in growing certain types of vegetation which can be used for various reasons. For instance, the Leaf/Turnip Plantie is better at growing vegetables, while the Bud/Flower Plantie is good at growing flowers. And they can't be eaten by carnivorous plants. Planties start off with a basic plant, and then they will grow into a newer, stronger one if they drink Power-Up Honey. In addition to all of these, every Plantie type can swim, but non-Lilypad or Seaweed Planties swim only in shallow waters.

Leaf/Turnip
Leaf Planties are green and have a green leaf on their heads. They specialize in making vegetables grow. When they drink Power-Up Honey, they upgrade into Turnip Planties. Their leaves grow considerably larger than their regular leaves. Turnip Planties grow vegetables much faster.

Bud/Flower
Bud Planties are pale green and sport white buds on their heads. Bud Planties help grow flowers. Bud Planties upgrade into Flower Planties when they drink Power-Up Honey. This helps them grow flowers much faster.

Seed/Berry
Seed Planties are light green and have a large light brown seed on their heads. These Planties have the ability to get back up when they get knocked down. This is especially useful in battle; if they get shaken off. When they drink Power-Up Honey, they grow into Berry Planties. They grow a shiny purple berry on their heads that resemble grapes. Berry Planties immediately get back up from a shake-off much faster than their seed-selves.

Lilypad/Seagrass
Lilypad Planties are teal and grow a lilypad on their heads. They are capable of going underwater. However, they primarily stay at the surface of the water, but they can swim. On the other hand, they never walk underwater. In addition, they don't drown when watery projectiles hit them, but they do get knocked back, as they're not immune to water attacks. They can grow underwater plants (this is the only time they're seen on the ground underwater). When they drink Power-Up Honey, they grow into Seagrass Planties. These grow one long green strand of seagrass on their heads. Seagrass Planties can walk underwater and can still swim. They do not go to the surface like their lilypad-selves.

Snowball/Snowbell
Snowball Planties are actually white instead of greenish and have a slightly more snowy appearance. They grow a guelder-rose on their heads. They use this as a projectile and can lob it at enemies, much like Shapelobs, but relatively weaker (just as weak as the Pryamid Shapelob). However, the guelder-rose they use is snowy, and they toss them like snowballs. With this, they can cool off certain obstacles or enemies that are hot. When they drink Power-Up Honey, they grow into a Snowbell Plantie, and grow a Snowbell/Styrax on their heads. When upgraded, they chuck snowballs from their flower in a much more forceful fashion, thus doing more damage.
