==History==
===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
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.
