'''Megasmilax''' is a minor boss in ''[[Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars]]''. She is a [[Warp Pipe|pipe]]-dwelling [[Piranha Plant]] resembling [[Naval Piranha]] capable of fiery attacks.

==History==
===''Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars''===
[[File:Megasmileyax.png|frame|left]]
Megasmilax is found in the [[Warp Pipe|pipe]] in [[Bean Valley]] that leads to [[Nimbus Land]] to prevent any intruder from interfering with [[Valentina]]'s plans to dethrone the [[King Nimbus|royal]] [[Queen Nimbus|family]]. During their search for the sixth [[Star Piece (Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars)|Star Piece]], [[Mario]] and his party comes across Megasmilax and defeat her, freeing access to Nimbus Land.

The plant starts with a single bud called [[Smilax]]. However, after it is defeated, a [[Beezo#Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars|Shy Away]] appears and pours recycled water on it, causing two more Smilaxes to grow, and then all three grow back. Finally, the large Megasmilax flower blooms with the two remaining Smilaxes. The official artwork of Megasmilax depicts her with three Smilaxes; however, Megasmilax only blooms with two Smilaxes in-game.

In battle, Megasmilax can cast [[Petal Blast]]. The smaller Smilaxes cast [[Drain]] and [[Flame (move)|Flame]].

The stem of Megasmilax has an internal enemy entry known as "Thrax" in the English version and 「クィーンフラワー」 (or "Queen Flower," shared with Megasmilax) in the Japanese version. It is possible that the player was originally meant to be able to one-shot Megasmilax before she grows Smilaxes if a character had high enough speed (similar to the original [[Naval Piranha]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]''), although it was [[List of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars pre-release and unused content|unimplemented]].

===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Megasmilax is mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant]]. In addition to being mentioned among regular variations, she is referred to in the plural form in most other languages, implying it is a species rather than simply an individual.

===Other appearances===
In the Super Mario Mash-up in ''[[Minecraft]]'', the Wither is replaced by Megasmilax with two Smilaxes.
