- This article is about the enemy from Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. For the enemy of the same name from Yoshi's Story, see Piranha Sprout (Yoshi's Story).
Template:Species-infobox Piranha Sprouts are enemies encountered in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker. They are common enemies that appear in various stages. They are small orange Piranha Plants with a large white mouth. They sprout out of the ground to spit rocks at Captain Toad or Toadette, then bury back into the ground. They cannot be defeated by landing on them, but if they are plucked while buried, they can be thrown which not only collects items but also defeats them.
