Naval Piranha is the boss of [[World 3 (Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island)|World 3]] in ''[[Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island]]'' and its [[Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3|Game Boy Advance version]]. After being magically enlarged and enhanced, it battles [[Yoshi (species)|Blue Yoshi]] by spitting out [[Nipper Plant]]s and charging, though it will sometimes do a mock charge. Its two buds also lazily move toward Blue Yoshi and can leap straight up to him. Blue Yoshi must throw eggs at its only weak point, which is its large and bandaged bellybutton. After being hit with enough eggs, Naval Piranha is defeated.

Exclusive to this boss is that if the player stands on the very edge of the ledge Naval Piranha is rooted to (or if the player jumps from the water and aims) without triggering the scene, the player can simply throw an egg at its "unmodified" form to defeat it in one hit. A surprised [[Kamek]] then approaches, shouts "OH, MY!!!" and flies away, and thus the player clears World 3 without fighting Naval Piranha.

Naval Piranha and [[Raphael the Raven]] are the only world bosses in ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' to use the extended variation of the boss theme, the former which was eventually used in all other bosses in ''Yoshi's Island: Super Mario Advance 3''.

During the introduction to ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'', Naval Piranha makes an appearance alongside the other castle bosses in the game as the events of ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' are recapped. Naval Piranha also has a successor in the form of [[Big Bungee Piranha]], the boss of [[World 2 (Yoshi's Island DS)|World 2]].

Naval Piranha reprises the role of a boss in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'' and ''[[Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', in this case being the boss of [[World 4 (Yoshi's Woolly World)|World 4]]. It appears in the level [[Naval Piranha's Sewer]]. Not including [[Baby Bowser]], Naval Piranha and [[Burt the Bashful]] are the only bosses from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' to make an appearance in ''Yoshi's Woolly World'' and ''Poochy & Yoshi's Woolly World''. After being enlarged by Kamek's magic, it jumps to a pipe in the background, and calls forth its buds.

Not including [[Baby Bowser]], Naval Piranha is one of the only two bosses from ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'' that make an appearance in ''[[Yoshi's Woolly World]]'', the other being [[Burt the Bashful]]. After being enlarged by Kamek's magic, it jumps to a pipe in the background, and calls forth its buds.  


Naval Piranha will attack by appearing on a side of the arena before fully extending itself to try to eat Yoshi. This can be avoided by running all the way to the opposite side of the arena or throwing an egg into its mouth. [[Bomb Guy]]s will then throw bombs at the foreground; which Yoshi must swallow and spit out at Naval Piranha's open mouth (when it tries to eat Yoshi), causing it to swallow the bomb and reveal its weak spot: its belly button. Yoshi must [[Ground Pound]] it to deal damage. After taking damage, Naval Piranha will respond by covering the arena in thorny vines and then slowly sliding them across, which must be jumped over. These vines can be destroyed with the [[Watermelon]] seeds from the [[Power Badge (Yoshi's Woolly World)|All-you-can-eat Watermelon! badge]].

Bomb Guys will then throw bombs at the foreground; which Yoshi must swallow and spit out at Naval Piranha's open mouth (when it tries to eat Yoshi), causing it to swallow the bomb and reveal its weak spot: its belly button.

These vines can be destroyed with the Watermelon seeds from the All-you-can-eat Watermelon! badge.  


In its second phase, the Bomb Guys will throw four bombs, at which point the buds will appear and slam down on the entire arena except for right in front of Naval Pirahna's center pipe, where Yoshi must maneuver towards. Naval Piranha will then try to eat Yoshi from below, where again a bomb must be thrown in its mouth to reveal its weak point. After being damaged a second time, Naval Piranha will again use the thorny vine attack, except now the vines will move up and down as they slide across the arena, forcing Yoshi to weave through the vines either by running under or jumping over them. After several seconds of this, the vines will stop in place before quickly sliding across the arena in the opposite direction for a few seconds, which must be precisely jumped over.

In its third phase, six Bomb Guys will throw bombs, after which a bud will appear, slam down on one side of the arena, and then sweep across the arena twice. At this point, a second bud will appear on the opposite side of the arena, and then sweep across twice. These buds must be jumped over. Naval Piranha will again try to eat Yoshi, this time from above. After a bomb is thrown in its mouth and its naval is Ground Pounded for the third time, Naval Piranha will be defeated.

Similar to ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island'', Yoshi can throw a [[yarn ball]] at the sleeping Piranha Plant before triggering Kamek's appearance. The Piranha Plant gets wrapped in yarn. A different cutscene occurs where Kamek is aghast at the situation, but Kamek still transforms the Piranha Plant into Naval Piranha, so the battle is only kept.
Similar to ''Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island''; Yoshi can throw a [[yarn ball]] at the sleeping Piranha Plant before triggering Kamek's appearance. This causes a slightly different scene, but Naval Piranha cannot be skipped and must be fought this time in order to progress to World 5.


Naval Piranha reappears in level 4-S, [[Naval Piranha 2: Now It's Personal!]], where it chases Yoshi through an auto-scrolling level. Yoshi can throw a yarn ball at Naval Piranha to make it disappear temporarily, though this does not stop the auto-scrolling and it reappears after a few seconds. It is unknown whether this is the same Naval Piranha as the one fought in the boss level, as it is significantly larger and has red vines as opposed to the boss' green vines. If it is able to swallow the Yoshi while he is moving through the level, he will be instantly defeated.

Naval Piranha also reappears in the [[Boss Tent]]. It is fought the same way; however, it attacks faster, making it harder to hit it.
