Talk:Dino Piranha

Should I mention that it is unofficialy called "PETEYSAURUS REX"? TheGreatBlockyBoo, I return...

We do not need any more unofficial names. We will have to wait for an official name... if we even get one. - Cobold

Theres two of them, where should we mention the other one? Full Metal Moogle

It's true name is apparently "the prehistoric piranha" Peachycakes 3.14

At the top of the article, click the "move" button between history and watch and enter the name "Prehistoric Piranha". You can easily move articles, no special rights are needed. - Cobold (talk · contribs) 09:52, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

Are you sure? I didn't see a move button. Peachycakes 3.14 10:24, 19 July 2007 (EDT)

Cobold, you have to wait 40 days before you can move things. I'll do it. Max2 (talk)

If it's called Prehistoric Piranha, then should someone change the text in the caption? MamaWaluigi 02:46, 21 July 2007 (EDT)

Done. My Bloody Valentine

Actually, it's four days, but whatever.Knife (talk) 16:29, 21 July 2007 (EDT)

Shouldn't the fiery dino piranha have a seperate page? It's not the same creature as the regular dino piranha. Peachycakes 3.14

Can anyone tell me why it dosent say anywhere on the page that dino piranha is a baby after all it comes out of an egg. User:Mario rex33

It looks like an adult, first of all. The egg could just be a form of protection. Either way, it seems unlikely as he lacks baby characteristics. Phoenix Rider 22:57, 19 August 2008 (EDT)

How could we know it lacks baby characteristics and looks like an adult if it's possible we have never seen an adult Dino Piranha? For all we know, they could turn purple and sprout wings when they become older. I'm just saying, we shouldn't completely discount the possibility that they are babies. Frum LANKY KONG !

Well its name is dino piranha DINO piranha and the last time I checked dionsaurs were big so dino pirahna could be a baby and still be that big and the only one who can put himself in an egg is yoshi and thats only in super smash bros brawl. User:Mario rex33

Well yeah, it COULD be a baby, but it also COULD like to drink milk or to play football. We don't have proof, so there's no need to mention it. Time Questions 17:55, 21 August 2008 (EDT)

Wouldn't the proof be that it hatches from an egg? Frum LANKY KONG !

It didn't hatch. Mario cracked it open. When it came out, it was enraged at Mario. The egg is merely a form of protection, nothing more. Master Lucario The Aura is with me...

I know that this converstation is outdated by now, but I'd like to agree that Dino Piranha is not a baby. Look at Peewee Piranha from Super Mario Galaxy 2, who is clearly a babay, from it's high-pitched squeal and the fact that it is described as having a 'temper tantrum' to it's smaller and chubbier appearance than Dino Piranha. Me, I like to think that Peewee Piranha is Dino Piranha's son, but then that's just speculation I suppose. Ah well. Supershroom + 20 HP! Yeah!

I think that Dino Piranha, Fiery Dino piranha, and Peewee piranha are all PETEY PIRANHA's son! LOL Boo der dash

@Booderdash: They would be more like his pets. GalacticPetey

Battle music

Doesn't this battle music also have a few segments similar to a Pokemon battle? Mpeng (talk) Though the answer should be clear from the long period after this got an answer, no, this should not be noted. It is irrelevant, and Nintendo is affiliated with Pokemon anyway.

Fireballs

shouldn't it be said that Dino Piranha gains the ability to shoot fireballs in Mario and Sonic 2012. he didn't have thAT IN Galaxy. 109.145.44.126 15:39, 2 March 2013 (EST)

Probably yes. Kingfawful4321 (talk) 16:58, 2 March 2013 (EST)

Species?

This talk page or section has a conflict or question that needs to be answered. Please try to help and resolve the issue by leaving a comment.

Are we sure that this guy is actually a species? 1. Ultimate is the only place that implies this and the Super Smash Bros. Games have a tendency to contradict the game's canons and lore (Min-Min's look being treated as a super hero-esque transformation instead of her normal look in her trailer) 2. A lot of the other Piranha Plant characters like Fiery Dino Piranha and Mom Piranha still are referred to as singular characters on their pages after Viridi implied that they were species despite no evidence in the games themselves. PrincessPeachFan (talk) 07:37, July 9, 2022 (EDT)

The fire one and Peewee are depicted as members, so yes. THIS is why I made the (since deleted) "character-species" infobox. (Also, "canon" is already a loose concept in this franchise; by all accounts, Baby Rosalina should not exist as she does.) Doc von Schmeltwick (talk) 07:45, July 9, 2022 (EDT)

Regarding Mom Piranha, I would say it is speculation to straight up imply that it is a species just because of that one line in Smash Ultimate, which refers to nearly every Piranha Plant type as plural. Nightwicked Bowser 08:05, July 9, 2022 (EDT)

Maybe the character infobox could have "variants" / "variant of" parameters, for things like this? And also stuff like Tap-Tap the Golden, or even Dry Bowser. Blinker (talk) 10:51, October 23, 2023 (EDT)

Dino Piranha is different from Fiery Dino Piranha,

Fiery Dino Piranha can spit fireballs and has a dark body instead of green 94.9.174.199 10:30, July 13, 2024 (EDT)

Are you kidding me!?

Who just merged Firey Dino Piranha in Dino Piranha's page!? They're completely different bosses, is it just because of mario and sonic game, it spits fireballs? Maybe, but that was only once! 109.153.57.192 13:06, August 5, 2024 (EDT)
