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, they will pop out even if Mario is next to their pipes, like the red normal-sized Piranha Plants in ''[[Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels]]''. They also appear in larger [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]s than other Piranha Plants. Most of them are red, except for the ones in [[World 4-6 (Super Mario Bros. 3)|World 4-6]], which are green (in the NES version only). | ||

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.

Big Piranha Plants appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]''. Like normal-sized Piranha Plants in modern 3D games, these can be stomped to be defeated, but two stomps are required to do so.
