A '''Big Piranha Plant''' (also known as '''Piranhacus Giganticus''',<ref>''Nintendo Power'' Volume 13. Page 8.</ref> '''Super Piranha Plant'''<ref>Loe, Casey. ''New Super Mario Bros.'' Player's Guide. Page 13.</ref><ref>Bueno, Fernando. ''New Super Mario Bros. Wii'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 14.</ref> or '''Mega Piranha Plant'''<ref>Musa, Alexander, and Geson Hatchett. ''Super Mario 3D World'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Page 23.</ref>) is a larger variety of [[Piranha Plant]].
 
Its original English name, Piranhacus Giganticus, is rendered as {{wp|binomial nomenclature}}, the scientific way of delineating species, with the words "piranha" and "gigantic" altered to fit the Latin grammatical form, itself a practice known as {{wp|Dog Latin}}.

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. However, in contrast to their original appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', they are invincible, thus serving more as an obstacle than an enemy. They can, however, be stunned with a [[spin]] or a [[Star Bit]], but that just hinders the player as it stops the plant from going back in the pipe.

Mega Piranha Plants appear in ''[[Super Mario 3D World]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury]]''. Like normal-sized Piranha Plants in modern 3D games, these can be stomped to be defeated, but two stomps are required to do so, with the first stomp merely stunning them. Their size and behavior is very similar to the [[Spiny Piranha Plant]]s from ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. This is their second appearance in a 3D ''[[Super Mario (franchise)|Super Mario]]'' game. They make a cry similar to [[Petey Piranha]]'s cry from ''[[Super Mario Sunshine]]'' when defeated.
