'''Elasto-Piranhas''' are a sub-species of [[Piranha Plant]] that have elastic stems which can extend and contract; they appear in the game ''[[Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time]]''. This variety of Piranha Plant lives in [[Toadwood Forest]].

In battle, an Elasto-Piranha attacks by first extending its elastic stem to the sky. To determine who it attacks, the neck stretches to the top of the top screen if it will hit [[Mario]] and halfway at the top screen if it will hit [[Luigi]]. Next, the Elasto-Piranha shoots [[fireball]]s at its chosen enemy. These fireballs can be jumped over which if not, it may cause the [[Burn]] status effect. The height and ground position of an Elasto-Piranha continually varies throughout a battle, meaning the time it takes for a fireball to reach its enemy also changes. Any attack will work on these enemies with the exception of [[Fire Flower#Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time|Bro Flower]]s, which will only do one damage to these enemies and they take critical damage from [[Ice Flower]]s.

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Elasto-Piranhas are mentioned briefly by [[Viridi]] during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Piranha Plant]].

*Incidentally, the ability to walk while wearing an incomplete pipe like a garment coupled with the ability to stretch and shoot projectiles is similar to the playable Piranha Plant from ''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''.
