Five of them appear in this mission as a group boss. Like [[Small Piranha]]s, they blend in the grass at first. When [[Mario]] approaches, they grow in size at an alarming rate, spit a fireball, then quickly shrink back to their invulnerable selves. All of them appear in one area, and they must be attacked to obtain a [[Power Star]]. In ''Super Mario 64 DS'', another way to deal with them is by using a [[Super Mushroom|mushroom]] hidden in one of the three wooden [[stump]]s in the same area, as a [[Mega Mario|giant character]] will instantly defeat the enemies upon touch. Once defeated, they shrink like a normal-sized Piranha Plant before leaving the player with two [[coin]]s (or, if defeated with a mushroom, three coins).

Big Fire Piranhas reappear in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', first appearing in [[Upshroom Downshroom]] and appearing as uncommon enemies throughout the game. Like in ''Super Mario Maker 2''{{'}}s ''3D World'' style, they use the Fire Piranha Plant's ''3D Land'' appearance and act the same as in previous 2D appearances, though they spit multiple fireballs at once just like their smaller relatives.
