Variant of Spiny Piranha Plant

The Prickly Piranha Plant,[1] also known as the Spiky Piranha Plant,[2] is a black variant of Spiny Piranha Plant that appears in Super Mario Galaxy 2.

History[edit]

Super Mario Galaxy 2[edit]

Prickly Piranha Plants are enemies in Super Mario Galaxy 2. They attack in the same way as its purple counterpart, which is by slamming its head onto the ground. However, unlike the purple counterpart, the player cannot jump on it due to its spikes and must use the nearby rubbery bulb to defeat it by hitting its head when it is down on the ground. This enemy only appears in Sky Station Galaxy during the Storming the Sky Fleet mission, where it holds a key to the locked up Power Star nearby and must be defeated.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Piranha Plant becomes a small Prickly Piranha Plant for its side smash attack.[3] In Palutena's Temple, Prickly Piranha Plants (just called Prickly Piranhas) are mentioned briefly by Viridi during Palutena's Guidance dialogue for Piranha Plant.
