====Palutena's Guidance====
(Note: Unlike other characters who were released as downloadable content, Piranha Plant has a unique conversation rather than having a [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations#Downloadable content characters|generic conversation]]; this may be due to Piranha Plant being developed simultaneously with the base game.)
*'''[[Pit (character)|Pit]]''': Is that a...Piranha Plant?!
*'''[[Palutena]]''': Not so loud. She'll hear you!
*'''[[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]]''': Did someone say Piranha Plant?
*'''Pit''': Oh no.
*'''Viridi''': I wrote my thesis on Piranha Plants! There are just so many species! You've got your basic Piranha Plants, your [[Fire Piranha Plant]]s, ''[speech speeds up as she speaks]'' [[Ptooie]]s, [[Nipper Plant]]s, [[Nipper Spore]]s, [[Muncher]]s, [[Jumping Piranha Plant|Jumping Piranha]]s, [[Wild Ptooie Piranha]]s, [[Propeller Piranha]]s, [[Naval Piranha]]s, [[Chewy|Chewies]], [[Megasmilax]], [[Piranha Pest]]s, [[Piranha Sprout]]s, [[Frost Piranha]]s, [[Putrid Piranha]]s, [[Proto Piranha]]s, [[Piranhabon]]s, [[Piranha Bean]]s, [[Mom Piranha]]s, [[Small Piranha]]s, [[Elasto-Piranha]]s, [[Piranha Planet]]s, [[Bungee Piranha]]s, [[Big Bungee Piranha]]s, [[Polterpiranha|Ghost]]s, [[Nipper Dandelion]]s, [[Spiny Piranha Plant|Spiny Piranha]]s, [[Dino Piranha]]s, [[Fire Stalking Piranha Plant|Fire Stalking Piranha]]s, [[Piranha Plorp]]s, [[River Piranha Plant|River Piranha]]s, [[Big Piranha Plant|Big Piranha]]s, [[Stalking Piranha Plant|Stalking Piranha]]s, [[Big Fire Piranha]]s, [[Prickly Piranha Plant|Prickly Piranha]]s, [[Peewee Piranha]]s, [[Inky Piranha Plant|Inky Piranha]]s, [[Gold Piranha Plant|Gold Piranha]]s, [[Bone Piranha Plant|Bone Piranha]]s, [[Big Bone Piranha Plant|Big Bone Piranha]]s, [[Piranha Pod]]s, [[Piranha Creeper]]s, [[Nipper Spore Patch]]es, [[Paper Fire Piranha Plant|Paper Fire Piranha]]s, [[Poison Piranha Plant|Poison Piranha]]s, [[Big Poison Piranha Plant|Big Poison Piranha]]s, [[#Super Mario Land|Upside-Down Piranha]]s, [[Petey Piranha]], [[Paper Petey Piranha]], [[Petea Piranha]]—
*'''Pit''': Whoa!
*'''Viridi''': I haven't even started on all the minor variations!
*'''Palutena''': Enough, Viridi! I never want to hear the word "piranha" ever again.
*'''Pit''': I guess that means I'm not getting any fighting tips. Thanks, Viridi.

====[[Nintendo eShop]] description====
*''Piranha Plant joins the battle as a stand-alone fighter in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game! With its powerful bite, Poison Breath, and ability to call in Petey Piranha for a larger-than-life Final Smash, this fighter's ferocity is as sharp as it teeth. Ready your pipes and flowerpots; your opponent won't see you coming! (Then again, Piranha Plant doesn't really "see" either. It doesn't have eyes.)''
