'''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]].

==History==
'''Piranha Pods''' are an alternate 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]]. They appear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]'' in the level [[Blooming Lakitus]], and in ''[[New Super Luigi U]]'' in the levels [[Spinning Sandstones]] and [[Beanstalk Jungle]].

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]]'', [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] briefly mentions them during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Piranha Plant]].

===''Mario Party Superstars''===
Piranha Pods reappear in ''[[Mario Party Superstars]]'', replacing the Strawberry Seeds from the original ''[[Mario Party]]'' on the [[Peach's Birthday Cake]] board. The game also marks the debut of [[Big Piranha Pod]]s, which sprout into [[Big Piranha Plant]]s.<ref>Nintendo. (June 15, 2021).

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.

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.
