'''Piranha Sprouts'''<ref>{{cite|deadlink=y|archive=web.archive.org/web/19991009140538/http://www.yoshisstory.com/4-3.html|title=''Yoshi's Story'' official website|publisher=Nintendo of America|language=en-us|accessdate=June 22, 2024}}</ref> are [[Piranha Plant]]s that appear only in [[Piranha Grove]] in ''[[Yoshi's Story]]''. They look like buds of a Piranha Plant with green feet. Despite this, they only stand in place, turning to face any nearby [[Baby Yoshi]] and chomping their mouths when one gets close. Piranha Sprouts, like [[Piranha Pest]]s, are able to shrink anything that escapes from their mouths. The only way of defeating a Piranha Sprout is by shooting it with an [[Yoshi's Egg|egg]] or crushing it with a [[Bocci Ball]].

In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', these Piranha Plants are mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] in the [[Smash Taunt#Palutena's Guidance|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant#Super Smash Bros. Ultimate|Piranha Plant]].
