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. | 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]].
