'''Super Piranha Plants''' are giant [[Piranha Plant]]s found in the game ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' and its [[New Super Mario Bros. Wii|sequel]]. They are not to be confused with the [[Piranhacus Giganticus]]. They act just like Piranha Plants. They are ''never'' found inside [[pipes]] due to their gigantic size. [[Mario]] must shoot three [[fireballs]] at one to destroy the monstrous plant. When defeated, they will give up eight [[coin]]s, instead of the usual one coin.

In ''[[Super Mario 64]]''<nowiki>'</nowiki>s Tiny-Huge Island there was a similar enemy that was about the same size as the Super Piranha Plant that would suddenly grow out of the ground, then spits a fireball before disappearing. These are probably just Venus Fire Traps mutated by the level's effect, since smaller Venus Fire Traps can be found in the same place on the smaller part of the island. There is also a giant purple piranha plant that appears in Mario Superstar Baseball that could be a Super Piranha Plant.
==History==
[[Image:Quicksand.JPG|thumb|left|'''Super Piranha Plant''' after devouring a kart in ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''.]]
===''Super Mario'' series===
There is also a suspiciously large Piranha Plant that cameos in [[Dry Dry Desert (course)|Dry Dry Desert]] of ''[[Mario Kart: Double Dash!!]]''; it can be found in the middle of a large pit of quicksand. It would eat any racing [[kart]] that entered the pit. Only the plant's head is seen, but it is even larger than [[Petey Piranha]]'s. It looks like Petey, but is green, has white spots, and brown thorns.
====''Super Mario Bros. 3''====
[[File:SMAS SMB3 Piranhacus Giganticus.png|frame|left]]
In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', they only appear in [[Giant Land]]. Although they are huge, a single fireball will destroy them, and they are mostly the same as any other typical Piranha Plant, other than presenting a larger target and obstacle; however, the ones in giant [[Warp Pipe|pipes]] will pop out even if Mario is next to them, like the red normal-sized Piranha Plants in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. In the NES version, most of them have red heads and red leaves, except for the ones in [[World 4-6 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 4-6]], which have green heads and green leaves. In the remakes, all of them have red heads and green leaves, though they also have orange lips.


Giant Piranha Plants that might be Super Piranha Plants appear in [[Super Mario Galaxy 2]] in the Supermassive Galaxy.
====''New Super Mario Bros.''====
Super Piranha Plants are found in the game ''[[New Super Mario Bros.]]'' Unlike their previous appearance, Super Piranha Plants are never seen in pipes due to their size. [[Fire Mario]] must shoot three [[fireball]]s at one to destroy them. When defeated, they give up eight [[coin]]s instead of the usual one coin.


==Trivia==
====''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''====
[[Image:DangerSign.JPG|thumb|The warning sign.]]
[[File:NSMBW Super Piranha Plant Render.png|thumb|Super Piranha Plant in ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.]]
*In ''Mario Kart Double Dash!!'', if the racer goes into the pit while using a [[star]], the giant plant will not eat him/her.
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. Wii]]'', Super Piranha Plants function the same as before. Upon defeat, they now give up three coins instead of eight. Its [[Big Fire Piranha|fiery counterpart]] also makes its debut in a sidescroller.
*The plant also appears on a sign that reads "DANGER!!!" shortly after the part where the Piranha Plant is.

====''Super Mario Galaxy 2''====
[[File:SMG2 Supermassive Big Piranha Plant.png|thumb|left|Mario finding a Super Piranha Plant and two [[Big Paragoomba]]s in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
Super Piranha Plants appear alongside [[Big Goomba|Giant Goomba]]s, [[Big Paragoomba]]s, and [[Big Koopa Troopa|Giant Koopa]]s in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', where they appear in the [[Supermassive Galaxy]]. They are shown in giant pipes similar to how they appear in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', only much bigger. However, in contrast to their original appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', they are invincible, thus serving more as an obstacle than an enemy. They can, however, be stunned with a [[spin]] or a [[Star Bit]], but that just hinders the player as it stops the plant from going back in the pipe.

====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', Big Piranha Plants are among the enemies that are affected by the [[Gold Ring]]. When defeated, the location they once stood upon spouts coins. They once again exclusively appear outside pipes, just like in ''New Super Mario Bros.'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii''.
{{br|left}}
 
====''New Super Mario Bros. U''====
[[File:NSMBU Big Piranha Plant Screenshot.png|120px|thumb|A lone Big Piranha Plant in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.]]
In ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', Big Piranha Plants are seen in numerous stages, such as [[Rise of the Piranha Plants]]. One Big Piranha Plant is also featured in the [[Boost Rush]] level [[Piranha Plant Hideaway]]. A shortcut for this level is to have the player utilizing the [[Wii U]] GamePad rapidly tap on the Big Piranha Plant, creating room for the player to jump over its head, reaching the [[goal ring (New Super Mario Bros. U)|goal ring]]. Notably, [[Jungle of the Giants]] is the only level to feature the classic pipe-dwelling Big Piranha Plants, making this the first game to show them alongside the newer grounded variant.
 
====''New Super Luigi U''====
[[File:NSLU Giant Swing-Along Screenshot.jpg|thumb|left|[[Luigi]] encountering the Big Piranha Plants of [[Soda Jungle]].]]
Both forms of the Big Piranha Plant reappear in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]''. [[Piranhas in the Dark]] introduces upside-down versions in dirt, and [[Giant Swing-Along]] introduces upside-down versions in pipes.
 
====''Super Mario 3D World'' / ''Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury''====
[[File:Big Piranha Plant SM3DW.jpg|thumb|upright=0.85|Mega Piranha Plant in ''Super Mario 3D World'']]
Mega Piranha Plants appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. Like normal-sized Piranha Plants in modern 3D games, these can be stomped to be defeated, but two stomps are required to do so, with the first stomp merely stunning them. Their size and behavior is very similar to the [[Spiny Piranha Plant]]s from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. This is their second appearance in a 3D ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game. They make a cry similar to [[Petey Piranha]]'s cry from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' when defeated.
 
In ''Bowser's Fury'', cat versions appear with the same appearance as regular-sized Cat Piranha Plants.
{{br|left}}
 
====''Super Mario Maker'' / ''Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS''====
Big Piranha Plants reappear in ''[[Super Mario Maker]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS]]''. The player can enlarge a normal Piranha Plant with a [[Super Mushroom]], and it will transform into its larger variant.
 
====''Super Mario Odyssey''====
{{main|Big Poison Piranha Plant}}
While regular Big Piranha Plants do not appear in ''[[Super Mario Odyssey]]'', Big Poison Piranha Plants appear, where they can be found in the [[Wooded Kingdom]], the [[Metro Kingdom]], and the [[Dark Side]].
 
====''Super Mario Maker 2''====
Big Piranha Plants return in ''[[Super Mario Maker 2]]'', where they behave in a similar manner from its predecessor; additionally, they attack by lunging at the player in the ''Super Mario 3D World'' style.
 
====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====
Big Piranha Plants return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', first appearing in [[Piranha Plants on Parade]]. Some appear in giant Warp Pipes similar to ''Super Mario Bros. 3'' and ''New Super Mario Bros. U'', along with its related expansions and ports, while others appear outside of them similar to the ''New Super Mario Bros.'' games. In addition, a new [[Trottin' Piranha Plant]] variant of them make their debut.
 
===''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''===
In ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'', a regular Piranha Plant named [[Naval Piranha]] is transformed by [[Kamek]] into a giant-sized Piranha as a boss of [[World 3 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 3]].
 
===''Mario Golf: World Tour''===
Big Piranha Plants reappear as obstacles in ''[[Mario Golf: World Tour]]''. This is the first appearance of Big Piranha Plants in a ''[[Mario Golf (series)|Mario Golf]]'' game.
 
===''Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker''===
Exclusively in the [[Wii U]] version of ''[[Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker]]'', one Big Piranha Plant reappears in the bonus level, [[Shadow-Play Alley]].
 
===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart Arcade GP VR''====

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
In ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'', Piranha Plants come in a range of sizes, though they are all labeled in-game as simply "Piranha Plant". Big Piranha Plants that reside in large pipes appear in [[Paris Promenade]], Paris Promenade 2, and Paris Promenade 3. They are also usually added as stage hazards in the R, T and R/T variants of various courses (with [[RMX Choco Island 1|RMX Choco Island 1R/T]] featuring the largest Piranha Plant in the game), and are also often found in the [[Steer Clear of Obstacles]] bonus challenges. A variant that is found on the ground can be seen in [[Choco Island 2|SNES Choco Island 2R/T]] and the Steer Clear of Obstacles bonus challenge on [[Yoshi Circuit|GCN Yoshi Circuit]].
 
====''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
Big Piranha Plants reappear in ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass]]'' in {{classic link|DS|Peach Gardens}} and {{classic link|Tour|Paris Promenade}}, reprising their roles from ''Mario Kart Tour''.

====''Mario Party Superstars''====
Big Piranha Plants reappear in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', being grown from large [[Piranha Pod]]s thrown by [[Lakitu]]s in [[Peach's Birthday Cake]]. If an opponent lands on the Event Space where the Big Piranha Plant is stationed, they lose a [[Star (Mario Party series)|Star]] to the player that planted it. They also eat and spit out the losers except for the winner at the end of a game. In addition, one also reprises its role in [[Tug o' War]].
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Big Piranha Plants (just called '''Big Piranhas''') are mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] during [[Smash Taunt#Palutena's Guidance|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Piranha Plant]]. Unlike most other variations generally mentioned in order of appearance, they are listed amongst ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' debuts. [[Nipper Spore]]s, [[Big Fire Piranha]]s, [[Small Piranha]]s, and [[Fire Stalking Piranha Plant|Fire Stalking Piranha]]s are similarly listed out of order.
 
===''The Super Mario Bros. Movie''===

==Naming==
===Etymology===
Since the introduction of large-sized enemies as a concept in 1988, the Japanese monikers applied to individual variants has been varied, as have the localizations of these names. Standardization occurred around 2010, after which the localized adaptations of these names have also largely been consistent with the following schemes:
*<u>「でか」(''Deka'')</u> is the preferred prefix applied to large enemies in most of the mainline ''[[Super Mario (series)|Super Mario]]'' series of platformers, RPGs, and nearly all other appearances. In English, this name is usually adapted as "Big" (e.g, 「'''でかパックンフラワー'''」(''Deka Pakkun Furawā'') is translated as "'''Big Piranha Plant'''").
*<u>「巨大」(''Kyodai'')</u> is the preferred prefix applied to large enemies from [[Giant Land]] in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''. In English, this name is usually adapted as "Mega" (e.g, 「'''巨大パックンフラワー'''」(''Kyodai Pakkun Furawā'') is translated as "'''Mega Piranha Plant'''"). By virtue of its application to the enemies from one game, this name is not exercised as often, but it is always the preferred name for the large Piranha Plants in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', even in retrospective media that covers it alongside more recent ''Super Mario'' games.
*<u>「ビッグ」(''Biggu'')</u>, a transliteration of the English "Big," is the preferred prefix applied to the large enemies in the ''[[Yoshi (series)|Yoshi]]'' series. Some of these are normal enemies magically-increased in size by [[Kamek]], as is the case with Piranha Plants. In English, the bosses are not given uniformed names, with unique ones applied instead (e.g, 「'''ビッグパックン'''」(''Biggu Pakkun'') is localized as "[[Naval Piranha]]").
 
When introduced in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', the large Piranha Plant enemy was localized as "'''Piranhacus Giganticus'''" in English, an allusion to {{wp|binomial nomenclature}}. The words "piranha" and "gigantic" are altered to fit the Latin grammatical form, itself a practice known as {{wp|Dog Latin}}.

Notable members

A Big Piranha Plant (also known as Piranhacus Giganticus,[1] Super Piranha Plant[2][3] or Mega Piranha Plant)[4] is a larger variety of Piranha Plant that debuted as an enemy in Giant Land from Super Mario Bros. 3.

History

Super Mario series

Super Mario Bros. 3

Piranhacus Giganticus

In Super Mario Bros. 3, they only appear in Giant Land. Although they are huge, a single fireball will destroy them, and they are mostly the same as any other typical Piranha Plant, other than presenting a larger target and obstacle; however, the ones in giant pipes will pop out even if Mario is next to them, like the red normal-sized Piranha Plants in Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. In the NES version, most of them have red heads and red leaves, except for the ones in World 4-6, which have green heads and green leaves. In the remakes, all of them have red heads and green leaves, though they also have orange lips.

New Super Mario Bros.

Super Piranha Plants are found in the game New Super Mario Bros. Unlike their previous appearance, Super Piranha Plants are never seen in pipes due to their size. Fire Mario must shoot three fireballs at one to destroy them. When defeated, they give up eight coins instead of the usual one coin.

New Super Mario Bros. Wii

In New Super Mario Bros. Wii, Super Piranha Plants function the same as before. Upon defeat, they now give up three coins instead of eight. Its fiery counterpart also makes its debut in a sidescroller.

Super Mario Galaxy 2

Super Piranha Plants appear alongside Giant Goombas, Big Paragoombas, and Giant Koopas in Super Mario Galaxy 2, where they appear in the Supermassive Galaxy. They are shown in giant pipes similar to how they appear in Super Mario Bros. 3, only much bigger. However, in contrast to their original appearance in Super Mario Bros. 3, they are invincible, thus serving more as an obstacle than an enemy. They can, however, be stunned with a spin or a Star Bit, but that just hinders the player as it stops the plant from going back in the pipe.

Appearances

New Super Mario Bros. 2

In New Super Mario Bros. 2, Big Piranha Plants are among the enemies that are affected by the Gold Ring. When defeated, the location they once stood upon spouts coins. They once again exclusively appear outside pipes, just like in New Super Mario Bros. and New Super Mario Bros. Wii.

New Super Mario Bros. U

In New Super Mario Bros. U, Big Piranha Plants are seen in numerous stages, such as Rise of the Piranha Plants. One Big Piranha Plant is also featured in the Boost Rush level Piranha Plant Hideaway. A shortcut for this level is to have the player utilizing the Wii U GamePad rapidly tap on the Big Piranha Plant, creating room for the player to jump over its head, reaching the goal ring. Notably, Jungle of the Giants is the only level to feature the classic pipe-dwelling Big Piranha Plants, making this the first game to show them alongside the newer grounded variant.

New Super Luigi U

Both forms of the Big Piranha Plant reappear in New Super Luigi U. Piranhas in the Dark introduces upside-down versions in dirt, and Giant Swing-Along introduces upside-down versions in pipes.

Super Mario 3D World / Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury

Mega Piranha Plant in Super Mario 3D World

Mega Piranha Plants appear in Super Mario 3D World and Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury. Like normal-sized Piranha Plants in modern 3D games, these can be stomped to be defeated, but two stomps are required to do so, with the first stomp merely stunning them. Their size and behavior is very similar to the Spiny Piranha Plants from Super Mario Galaxy. This is their second appearance in a 3D Super Mario game. They make a cry similar to Petey Piranha's cry from Super Mario Sunshine when defeated.

In Bowser's Fury, cat versions appear with the same appearance as regular-sized Cat Piranha Plants.

Super Mario Maker / Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS

Big Piranha Plants reappear in Super Mario Maker and Super Mario Maker for Nintendo 3DS. The player can enlarge a normal Piranha Plant with a Super Mushroom, and it will transform into its larger variant.

Super Mario Odyssey

Main article: Big Poison Piranha Plant

While regular Big Piranha Plants do not appear in Super Mario Odyssey, Big Poison Piranha Plants appear, where they can be found in the Wooded Kingdom, the Metro Kingdom, and the Dark Side.

Super Mario Maker 2

Big Piranha Plants return in Super Mario Maker 2, where they behave in a similar manner from its predecessor; additionally, they attack by lunging at the player in the Super Mario 3D World style.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Big Piranha Plants return in Super Mario Bros. Wonder, first appearing in Piranha Plants on Parade. Some appear in giant Warp Pipes similar to Super Mario Bros. 3 and New Super Mario Bros. U, along with its related expansions and ports, while others appear outside of them similar to the New Super Mario Bros. games. In addition, a new Trottin' Piranha Plant variant of them make their debut.

Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island

In Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, a regular Piranha Plant named Naval Piranha is transformed by Kamek into a giant-sized Piranha as a boss of World 3.

Mario Golf: World Tour

Big Piranha Plants reappear as obstacles in Mario Golf: World Tour. This is the first appearance of Big Piranha Plants in a Mario Golf game.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker

Exclusively in the Wii U version of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, one Big Piranha Plant reappears in the bonus level, Shadow-Play Alley.

Mario Kart series

Mario Kart Arcade GP VR

Big Piranha Plants reappear in Mario Kart Arcade GP VR, where they appear in the start of the track, where they bite down on patches of dirt making any racer who touches them spin out.

Mario Kart Tour

In Mario Kart Tour, Piranha Plants come in a range of sizes, though they are all labeled in-game as simply "Piranha Plant". Big Piranha Plants that reside in large pipes appear in Paris Promenade, Paris Promenade 2, and Paris Promenade 3. They are also usually added as stage hazards in the R, T and R/T variants of various courses (with RMX Choco Island 1R/T featuring the largest Piranha Plant in the game), and are also often found in the Steer Clear of Obstacles bonus challenges. A variant that is found on the ground can be seen in SNES Choco Island 2R/T and the Steer Clear of Obstacles bonus challenge on GCN Yoshi Circuit.

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Big Piranha Plants reappear in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass in DS Peach Gardens and Tour Paris Promenade, reprising their roles from Mario Kart Tour.

Mario Party series

Mario Party: The Top 100

A Big Piranha Plant appears in the Mario Party: The Top 100 version of Tug o' War where it eats the loser(s) that gets tugged into its jaws.

Mario Party Superstars

Big Piranha Plants reappear in Mario Party Superstars, being grown from large Piranha Pods thrown by Lakitus in Peach's Birthday Cake. If an opponent lands on the Event Space where the Big Piranha Plant is stationed, they lose a Star to the player that planted it. They also eat and spit out the losers except for the winner at the end of a game. In addition, one also reprises its role in Tug o' War.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Big Piranha Plants (just called Big Piranhas) are mentioned briefly by Viridi during Palutena's Guidance dialogue for Piranha Plant. Unlike most other variations generally mentioned in order of appearance, they are listed amongst New Super Mario Bros. Wii debuts. Nipper Spores, Big Fire Piranhas, Small Piranhas, and Fire Stalking Piranhas are similarly listed out of order.

The Super Mario Bros. Movie

In the climax of The Super Mario Bros. Movie, a Big Piranha Plant briefly traps Invincible Mario and Invincible Luigi in its mouth, before they force it to spit them out.

Naming

Etymology

Since the introduction of large-sized enemies as a concept in 1988, the Japanese monikers applied to individual variants has been varied, as have the localizations of these names. Standardization occurred around 2010, after which the localized adaptations of these names have also largely been consistent with the following schemes:

  • 「でか」(Deka) is the preferred prefix applied to large enemies in most of the mainline Super Mario series of platformers, RPGs, and nearly all other appearances. In English, this name is usually adapted as "Big" (e.g, 「でかパックンフラワー」(Deka Pakkun Furawā) is translated as "Big Piranha Plant").
  • 「巨大」(Kyodai) is the preferred prefix applied to large enemies from Giant Land in Super Mario Bros. 3. In English, this name is usually adapted as "Mega" (e.g, 「巨大パックンフラワー」(Kyodai Pakkun Furawā) is translated as "Mega Piranha Plant"). By virtue of its application to the enemies from one game, this name is not exercised as often, but it is always the preferred name for the large Piranha Plants in Super Mario Bros. 3, even in retrospective media that covers it alongside more recent Super Mario games.
  • 「ビッグ」(Biggu), a transliteration of the English "Big," is the preferred prefix applied to the large enemies in the Yoshi series. Some of these are normal enemies magically-increased in size by Kamek, as is the case with Piranha Plants. In English, the bosses are not given uniformed names, with unique ones applied instead (e.g, 「ビッグパックン」(Biggu Pakkun) is localized as "Naval Piranha").

When introduced in Super Mario Bros. 3, the large Piranha Plant enemy was localized as "Piranhacus Giganticus" in English, an allusion to binomial nomenclature. The words "piranha" and "gigantic" are altered to fit the Latin grammatical form, itself a practice known as Dog Latin.
