The Skill parameter has been removed from Smasher infoboxes, and in its place are the new "Best historical ranking" and "Best tournament result" parameters. SmashWiki needs help adding these new parameters to Smasher infoboxes, refer to the guidelines here for what should be included in these new parameters. |
When adding results to Smasher pages, include each tournament's entrant number in addition to the player's placement, and use the {{Trn}} template with the matching game specified. Please also fix old results on Smasher pages that do not abide to this standard. Refer to our Smasher article guidelines to see how results tables should be formatted. |

''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.'' | |||

''A colossal Piranha Plant. Unlike its pipe-inhabiting cousins, it uses its legs to walk around. It can fly, too. As you might expect, it often appears as a boss character in Mario's adventures. This may come as a surprise, but it also displays surprising dexterity in kart races and ball games.'' | |||

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 {{b|Petey Piranha|Final Smash}} in his Subspace Emissary incarnation to imprison other fighters in his cages, breathe fire on them, and slam them into the ground. | 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.

* | *Prior to being added to ''{{s|mariowiki|Dr. Mario World}}'', Piranha Plant did not have a playable appearance in any other video game; it shared this distinction with the dog from [[Duck Hunt]], [[Palutena]], [[Ridley]], [[Dark Samus]], and [[Wii Fit Trainer]]. | ||
**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 and was also notably the only playable Piranha Plant prior to Piranha Plant’s debut. | **However, Fire and Poison Piranha Plants are enemies that can be captured in ''{{s|mariowiki|Super Mario Odyssey}}''.

**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. | **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. | ||
***Piranha Plant 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. | |||
