They are bigger purple [[Piranha Plant]]s whose stems are covered in spikes. To attack, a Spiny Piranha Plant attempts to slam its head into [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]). It can be defeated by hitting it with [[rubbery bulb]]s, by [[stomp]]ing it after it has slammed its head on the ground, or by shooting it with a [[fireball]] as [[Fire Mario]]. Some Spiny Piranha Plants are necessary to be defeated in order to make a [[Sproutle Vine]] grow so Mario can proceed. Shooting one with a [[Star Bit]] makes the Spiny Piranha Plant act immediately.

| ==History==
| | In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the Spiny Piranha Plant reappears with the same behavior. The game also introduces a new variation called the [[Prickly Piranha Plant]], which attacks in a similar way but is black and cannot be stomped due the spikes on its head. Spiny Piranha Plants appear in [[Rightside Down Galaxy]] and the [[Throwback Galaxy]]. |

| Spiny Piranha Plants first appear as uncommon enemies in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]'', with there only being four in the entire game. To attack, a Spiny Piranha Plant attempts to slam its head into [[Mario]] (or [[Luigi]]). It can be defeated by hitting it with [[rubbery bulb]]s, by [[stomp]]ing it after it has slammed its head on the ground, or by shooting it with a [[fireball]] as [[Fire Mario]]. Some Spiny Piranha Plants are necessary to be defeated in order to make a [[Sproutle Vine]] grow so Mario can proceed. Shooting one with a [[Star Bit]] makes the Spiny Piranha Plant act immediately.

| The first one, encountered optionally in [[Dino Piranha (mission)|the first mission]] of the [[Good Egg Galaxy]], is surrounded by rubbery bulbs and acts as visual and functional foreshadowing to the mission's boss, the [[Dino Piranha]], another large, purple Piranha Plant who is attacked with a rebounding ball - in its case, the end of its tail.

| In ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', the Spiny Piranha Plant reappears with the same behavior and is even less common than before, with only two appearing not counting encountering the same one in different missions. The game also introduces a new variation called the [[Prickly Piranha Plant]], which attacks in a similar way but is black and cannot be stomped due the spikes on its head - a hit with a [[rubbery bulb]] is required to defeat it.
