| '''Piranha Pods''' are a [[Piranha Plant]] version of [[Spiny Egg]]s. Like Spiny Eggs, they are thrown by [[Lakitu]]s, but turn into a [[Piranha Plant]] upon landing, rather than a [[Spiny]]. | | '''Gūrindais''' (グーリンダイ) are an alternative to [[Spiny Egg]]s for [[Lakitu]]s to throw. They only appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'', being featured in the level [[Blooming Lakitus]]. They grow into [[Piranha Plant]]s upon landing. |

| Piranha Pods make their debut appearance in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' in the levels [[Blooming Lakitus]], and in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' in the levels [[Spinning Sandstones]] and [[Beanstalk Jungle]]. Here, Piranha Pods are thrown by the Lakitus that occasionally show up in these levels where, after bouncing off the ground slightly, become a [[Piranha Plant]] that remains stationary on the ground. Piranha Pods can be defeated in the same ways a Spiny Egg can be defeated, including shooting a [[fireball]] at them with [[Fire Mario]] or touching them while [[Invincible Mario|invincible]].

| In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', [[List of Smash Taunt characters#Viridi|Viridi]] briefly mentions Piranha Pods during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Piranha Plant]].

| |
| Piranha Pods reappear on the [[Peach's Birthday Cake]] board in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', replacing the Strawberry Seeds from the original ''[[Mario Party]]'', though they are still referred to as '''strawberries'''. In-game, the term is used liberally to refer to both the pod itself and the Piranha Plant that grows out of it, while a [[Play Nintendo]] article reserves "strawberry" for the Piranha Pods.<ref>[https://play.nintendo.com/news-tips/tips-tricks/mario-party-superstars-tips-5-boards/ ''Five boards, five tips'']. ''[[Play Nintendo]]''. Retrieved November 24, 2021. ([https://web.archive.org/web/20211124142213/https://play.nintendo.com/news-tips/tips-tricks/mario-party-superstars-tips-5-boards/ Archived] November 24, 2021, 14:22:13 UTC via Wayback Machine.)</ref> In the board, Piranha Pods can be bought from a Lakitu if a player lands on certain [[Event Space]]s. They come in two sizes, small (costing 5 coins) and large (costing 30 coins). Small Piranha Pods grow into regular Piranha Plants, while large Piranha Pods grow into [[Big Piranha Plant]]s.
