Piranha Pod

Revision as of 16:34, February 13, 2019 by LinkTheLefty (talk | contribs) (More Ultimate.)

Template:Species-infobox Piranha Pods[1] are an alternate version of Spiny Eggs. Like Spiny Eggs, they are thrown by Lakitus, but turn into a Piranha Plant upon landing rather than a Spiny. They only appear in New Super Mario Bros. U in the level Blooming Lakitus, and in New Super Luigi U in the levels Spinning Sandstones and Beanstalk Jungle. They are briefly mentioned in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate by Viridi during Palutena's Guidance dialogue for Piranha Plant.
