'''Prickly Piranha Plants'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' [[Prima Games|PRIMA]] Official Game Guide. Pages 29, 40 and 42.</ref> are a purple variant of [[Big Piranha Plant]] first appearing in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are bigger, purple Piranha Plants whose stems are covered in spikes. To attack, a Prickly Piranha Plant attempts to slam its head into [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. It can be defeated by hitting it with [[Stretch Plant]]s, by stomping it after it has slammed its head on the ground or shooting it with a fireball as [[Fire Mario]]. Some are necessary to be defeated in order to make a [[Sproutle Vine]] grow so Mario (or Luigi) can proceed. Shooting one with a [[Star Bit]] makes the Prickly Piranha Plant act immediately.

Prickly Piranha Plant
Prickly Piranha Plant in Sky Station Galaxy.

The Prickly Piranha Plant[1], also known as the Spiky Piranha Plant[2], is a variety of Spiny Piranha Plants that appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2. There is only one in the entire game, encountered in the Sky Station Galaxy during the Storming the Sky Fleet mission.

This enemy holds a key to the locked up Power Star nearby. It attacks in the same way as its purple variant: slamming its head onto the ground. The player cannot jump on it due to its spikes and must use the nearby Stretch Plant to defeat it by hitting its head when it is down on the ground. Once the enemy is beaten, Mario can collect the key and obtain the Star.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Piranha Plant becomes a small Prickly Piranha Plant for its side smash attack.[3] In Palutena's Temple, Prickly Piranha Plants (just called Prickly Piranhas) are mentioned briefly by Viridi during Palutena's Guidance dialogue for Piranha Plant.
