'''Dino Piranhas''' are giant [[Piranha Plant]]s resembling [[Petey Piranha]] with a dinosaur-like body that hatch from eggs. They appear as bosses in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'' and ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''. Every battle is started after [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]] crash into their egg after being shot from a [[Launch Star]], causing them to hatch and chase after him.

The basic one resides in the [[Good Egg Galaxy]]. The top of its egg becomes cracked when Mario crashes into it after being shot from a Launch Star on the preceding planet, thereby exposing its tail and legs. Dino Piranha then begins moving slowly around the planetoid from inside the egg, and when Mario [[Star Spin]]s the large ball on the end of its tail, the shell breaks, revealing Dino Piranha, initiating the battle. Dino Piranha will then start to run around the planet attempting to attack Mario. Mario must run behind the Dino Piranha and spin its tail once again, causing it to hit itself a second time, which will make it very angry. Its head will turn bright red like Petey Piranha's head and it will chase Mario even faster than before. To finally defeat it, Mario must get behind it and hit its tail two more times. After being hit a final time, it falls over, screams and explodes in a cloud of purple dust, releasing a [[Power Star]]. | ||

The black Dino Piranha is fought in the final level of the [[Melty Molten Galaxy]], itself the final standard world. In general, it moves much faster than its normal counterpart. The beginning of the battle is much like that of the previous Dino Piranha fight, with Mario landing on top of the egg, cracking the egg and waking the Dino Piranha. As Dino Piranha trots around, the bulb of the tail ignites and extinguishes in a steady rhythm, forcing Mario to wait until the tail is extinguished to attack and break the egg away. | The black Dino Piranha is fought in the final level of the [[Melty Molten Galaxy]], itself the final standard world.

Due to being located in [[World S]], fighting the Dino Piranhas is completely optional for a normal run of the game, though in a complete run, the first must be encountered four times (counting [[Green Star]] missions) and the second twice. The standard Dino Piranha is the first boss to be encountered in the Boss Blitz Gallery, while the black one is the final one. Both act exactly the same as before, though heat effects have been added to the black one's planet. If Mario loses a life while fighting the Black one, he must fight Bouldergeist again due to the placement of the [[Checkpoint Flag]]. A different Dino Piranha called [[Peewee Piranha]] appears in the first level of the [[Sky Station Galaxy]], thus acting as a successor to the original Dino Piranha's role in the previous game. | ||

Its body is much different than Petey Piranha. Dino Piranha's body beneath the giant [[Piranha Plant]] head is that of a dinosaur's, (as would be expected given the name) with a green hue. Its tail has a brown club at the end which may be inspired by the club of a real life {{wp|Ankylosaurus}}. When it first breaks out of its egg, its head is purple, but when enraged, it turns red with anger. | ||
The second Dino Piranha has a red and black color scheme. It has a dark red body and a head that is black with dark red spots. Its petals are also similar to those of the normal one, but appear more singed, with small cracks along the edges. When on fire, the Dino Piranha's entire body becomes a glowing orange. | The second Dino Piranha has a red and black color scheme. It has a dark red body and a head that is black with dark red spots.
