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). | ||
