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. |

Poison Breath (ポイズンブレス, Poison Breath) is Piranha Plant's side special.
Overview
When the move is used, Piranha Plant turns in the direction it was used and spits purple poison that deals damage. It's color scheme during this move changes into a yellow color with red polka-dots. Depending on how long the move is charged, the poison will deal more damage and stay around for longer. Interestingly, even though the move is visually a poison-based attack, it does not inflict the poison effect.
Origin
This move is likely inspired from the Putrid Piranha, an enemy in the Paper Mario series. Most notably, the Putrid Piranha's design matches with the color scheme of Piranha Plant when using this move. When encountered, Putrid Piranhas spit poison which deals damage to Mario or his allies and subsequently poisons them.
Trivia
- Poison Breath is the only side special move that acts as an auto-charge.
