'''Piranha Plants''' ({{ja|パックンフラワー|Pakkun Furawā}}, ''Packun Flower'') are enemies from the {{uv|Mario}} series.

==Origin==
[[File:Piranha pipe.png|thumb|left|120px|A red Piranha Plant in ''Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels'']]
Piranha Plants are recurring ''Mario'' enemies that primarily live in [[Warp Pipe]]s and attempt to bite [[Mario]] and other characters. They are based on {{s|wikipedia|venus flytrap}}s and first appear in the original ''[[Super Mario Bros.]]'', and have appeared frequently throughout the ''Mario'' franchise. A large number of Piranha Plant subspecies exist, including variants that breathe fire, spit poison, and have other powers. There are also larger Piranha Plants that serve as bosses, such as [[Petey Piranha]], a boss debuting in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Sunshine}}'', and {{s|mariowiki|Naval Piranha}}, a recurring boss from the {{uv|Yoshi}} series. Petey Piranha is the leader of all Piranha Plants.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros.]]''==
===As a stage element===
[[File:Piranha Plant.PNG|thumb|left|200px|The Piranha Plant in ''Super Smash Bros.'']]
Piranha Plants sometimes appear out of the [[Warp Pipe]]s on the [[Mushroom Kingdom (SSB)|Mushroom Kingdom]] [[stage]]. They are [[Enemy|enemies]] that don't have a set schedule between the two pipes. They won't appear if the character is on the pipe or on the side of the pipes, and the pipes are very low, making them easy to jump over.

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]''==
[[Petey Piranha]], the first [[boss]] of [[Adventure Mode: The Subspace Emissary]], is an oversized, mobile Piranha Plant.

===As a stage element===
A Piranha Plant may sometimes appear as a stage element on [[PictoChat]]. However, they don't go up or down, and they stay on the stationary platform.

===Trophy===

;Piranha Plant
''A vicious, plantlike monster that typically hides in pipes. Piranha Plants emerge with mouths open, awaiting victims. A poorly timed jump means a chomping--hence the "piranha" name. While there have been exceptions--there are many Piranha Plants with unique traits-- they generally don't appear if Mario waits on top of or just next to a pipe. They hate fireballs.''

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. 4]]''==
Piranha Plants reappear as just a trophy.

===Trophy===
The Piranha Plant trophy appears in both versions. In {{forwiiu}} it is part of the ''Super Mario Bros.'' [[Trophy Box]].

{{Flag|ntsc}} ''These guys aren't so much carnivorous as Mario...nivorous. Ahem. There are lots of varieties, like Frost, Wild Ptooie, Ghost, Prickly, Dino, Bone, Elasto-Piranhas, Stalking, Naval... A helpful mnemonic is "Fireballs with Ground Pounds defeat baddies, even super nasties."''

{{Flag|pal}} ''These carnivorous plants are hungry for one thing - Mario! There are all sorts of them, including the Naval Piranha, Fire Piranha Plant, Inky Piranha Plant, Piranha Creeper, Bone Piranha Plant, Stalking Piranha Plant... But all you need to know is "plants with teeth want to eat Mario".''

==In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''==
===As a playable character===
{{Main|Piranha Plant (SSBU)}}
[[File:Piranha Plant SSBU.png|thumb|right|200px|Piranha Plant as a fighter in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]''.]]
Piranha Plant was confirmed as a [[Downloadable content|DLC]] character on November 1st, 2018, making its debut as a playable character for the first time in any game. Piranha Plant was released on January 29th, 2019, and was available for free to players that registered the game with My Nintendo by January 31st, 2019. It was later made available as paid DLC separate from any [[Fighters Pass]] on February 1st, 2019. In ''Smash'', Piranha Plant is a semi-super heavyweight with various unique attacks. Its [[neutral special]], [[Ptooie]], is a spiked ball projectile which can be held above itself or directed left or right, flying further depending on how close the ball is to its mouth when it is sent out. Piranha Plant's [[side special]], [[Poison Breath]], is a chargeable poison cloud projectile that can rack up massive amounts of damage when fully charged. Its [[up special]] is its recovery move, [[Piranhacopter]]; it is an easily maneuverable and long-lasting recovery that deals damage to any players caught in it. [[Long-Stem Strike]] is Piranha Plant's [[down special]]; it is a rotatable attack that becomes more disjointed the longer it is charged for. Lastly, its [[Final Smash]] involves summoning [[Petey Piranha (Final Smash)|Petey Piranha]] in his Subspace Emissary incarnation to imprison other fighters in his cages, breathe fire on them, and slam them into the ground.

==Trivia==
*Piranha Plant, the dog from [[Duck Hunt]], [[Palutena]], [[Ridley]], [[Dark Samus]], and [[Wii Fit Trainer]] are the only playable characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series that do not have a playable appearance in any other video game.
**However, Fire and Poison Piranha Plants are enemies that can be captured in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Odyssey}}''. [[Petey Piranha]], a Piranha Plant himself who [[Petey Piranha (Final Smash)|appears]] in Piranha Plant's [[Final Smash]], has also been playable in various ''Mario'' spin-off games. 
**Worth noting is the fact that a Fire Piranha Plant, a variant of Piranha Plant, was added as a character in ''{{s|mariowiki|Mario Tennis Aces}}'' as a post-launch character, and, like the Piranha Plant in ''Smash'', is potted and moves around in said pot. 
***The potted Piranha Plant, if its fire variant is considered to be the same species, is the third character to make a playable debut in ''Smash'' before becoming playable in its own series; [[Sheik]] and [[Ganondorf]] also hold this distinction.
*Piranha Plant is the first playable character in the series to be a generic enemy.
*Piranha Plant is the only character with no indication of eyes. Prior to ''Ultimate'', [[Mr. Game & Watch]] held this distinction; however, starting with ''Ultimate'', his model changed to have eyes during certain attacks. <!--Dark Samus's eyes are visible through her visor, as seen in one of her victory animations.-->
*Piranha Plant is the only DLC character to receive a [[Palutena's Guidance|Guidance]] conversation.
*Piranha Plant, [[Mewtwo]], and [[Banjo & Kazooie]] are the only downloadable characters in the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series that are not human or part human.
*Piranha Plant is the only playable plant character in the series, not counting the debatably part-plant [[Ivysaur]].
*Piranha Plant is the only character in the entire series that can attack when footstooled.
*Piranha Plant, [[R.O.B.]], [[Mr. Game & Watch]], and [[Dark Samus]] are the only playable characters to not have a "proper" face, meaning it consists of a mouth, eyes, nose, etc.
**This is excluding [[Samus]], who wears a helmet over her face.
**In Mr. Game & Watch's case, his eyes do exist, only showing up in certain animations; prior to ''Ultimate'', however, this was not the case.
*With it debuting in September 1985, Piranha Plant is the oldest fighter introduced in ''Ultimate''.
*Piranha Plant and [[Corrin]] are the only [[DLC]] newcomers to not come with a new stage. Of the two, Piranha Plant is the only one to not come with any music. 
*Piranha Plant has the longest duration of being a non-playable character before becoming a playable character, as it debuted in the original ''Super Smash Bros.'' as a stage hazard before becoming a playable fighter in ''Ultimate''. <!--While Ridley also debuted in Smash 64 and wouldn't become playable until Ultimate, Ridley was available in the base game for Ultimate while Piranha Plant was DLC nearly 2 months after the game's release, so Piranha Plant still holds the position by nearly 2 months-->
