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.

**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. |
