'''Bone Piranha Plants''' are a variety of undead [[Piranha Plant]] debuting in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]''. They are skeletal versions of normal Piranha Plants with some changes, such as a grayish cranium, holes rather than spots, light cyan lips, vertebrae instead of a plant stalk, and dark, gray leaves that appear dead.

==History==
===''Super Mario'' series===
====''New Super Mario Bros. 2''====
[[File:NewBonePiranha.png|frame|left]]
Bone Piranha Plants first appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. 2]]'', where their attack patterns appear the same than those of a regular Piranha Plant. However, unlike normal Piranha Plants, and like [[Dry Bones]], they are immune to [[fireball]]s. They can be defeated by a [[Super Leaf]] tail spin, [[Super Star]], or a [[Gold Flower]], however. They are only found in [[Tower]]s and [[Castle]]s. They are also extremely common throughout {{world link|4|towern2|World 4-Tower (New Super Mario Bros. 2)}}.

====''Super Mario Bros. Wonder''====

Bone Piranha Plants return in ''[[Super Mario Bros. Wonder]]'', with [[Trottin' Bone Piranha Plant|another bone variant]] of [[Trottin' Piranha Plant]]s, both of which only appear in [[Fluff-Puff Peaks Palace]]. During the level's [[Wonder Effect]], they grow tall.

===''Mario Party: Island Tour''===

Bone Piranha Plants also appear in ''[[Mario Party: Island Tour]]'' on the [[Bowser's Peculiar Peak]] board. If the player lands on a [[Back Space (fixed)|Back Space]], the Bone Piranha Plant appears, chews them up, and then throws them forward.

===''Mario Kart'' series===
====''Mario Kart 8'' / ''Mario Kart 8 Deluxe''====
In ''[[Mario Kart 8]]'' and ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe]]'', Bone Piranha Plants appear as obstacles on [[Bone-Dry Dunes]]. Here, they behave just like other Piranha Plants in the ''Mario Kart'' series, trying to bite nearby drivers. They also appear on {{classic-link|SNES|Bowser Castle 3}} in the ''[[Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass|Booster Course Pass]]''.<ref>{{file link|MK8D SNES Bowser Castle 3 Scene 5.png}}</ref>

====''Mario Kart Tour''====
Bone Piranha Plants return in ''[[Mario Kart Tour]]'' starting from the [[Bowser Tour (2023)|2023 Bowser Tour]], appearing as newly added obstacles on {{classic-link|SNES|Bowser Castle 3}} and in the R variant of {{classic-link|GBA|Bowser's Castle 4}}. They behave similarly to their appearance in ''Mario Kart 8'', but lack their sounds as heard in [[Bone-Dry Dunes]]. They can be taken out the same ways as regular Piranha Plants, including using fireballs from a Fire Flower—unlike in ''New Super Mario Bros. 2''.

===''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition''===
[[File:PDSMBE-BonePiranhaPlant-TeamImage.png|thumb|left|Bone Piranha Plant's team image from ''Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition'']]
Bone Piranha Plants are present in ''[[Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition]]'', where they own the [[Super Leaf|Wood]] attribute, but also the [[Poison Mushroom|Dark]] attribute. As such, they appear to be very weak to the [[Fire Flower|Fire]] attribute, yet strong to the [[Penguin Suit|Water]] one. They show a lack in HP and RCV ratings, but this is completed by their dangerous amount of attack points. Poison Mist is the name of their main skill, which switches Water and Fire orbs of enemies to their own attribute orbs - Wood and Dark, respectively.

Bone Piranha Plants are typically found at the Tower courses, along with the [[Big Bone Piranha Plant]], but they can also appear in a few courses at [[World 8 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)|World 8]] and [[Special World 8 (Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition)|★World 8]]. When fought as enemies, they attack every two turns, and can even poison the player's team.

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Bone Piranha Plants (just called '''Bone Piranhas''') are mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] during [[Smash Taunt#Palutena's Guidance|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for Piranha Plant. Piranha Plant's white color scheme references a Bone Piranha Plant.
