| A '''Piranhacus Giganticus''' is a gigantic [[Piranha Plant]] that first appeared in the game ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]''.

| [[File:Piranhacus.gif|thumb|left|A Piranhacus Giganticus from ''Super Mario Bros. 3''.]]
| |
| In ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'', they only appear in [[Big Island]]. Although they are huge, a single fireball will destroy them. Despite their size, they are essentially exactly the same as any other typical Piranha Plant, other than they present a larger target and obstacle. They also appear in larger [[Warp Pipe]]s than other Piranha Plants.

| |
| In ''[[Super Mario 64]]'' and ''[[Super Mario 64 DS]]'', Piranhaci Gigantici make their sole appearance on [[Tiny-Huge Island]], where depending on which side of the island [[Mario]] is on they could either be tiny or huge. They also had the ability to breath fire. In this game they were referred to as [[Venus Fire Trap]]s in English but still possessed their original Japanese name.

| |
| Piranhacus Gigantici appear alongside [[Grand Goomba]]s, [[Huge Paragoomba]]s, and [[Gargantua Koopa Troopa]]s in the [[Wii]] game, ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'', where they appear in the [[Supermassive Galaxy]]. However, in contrast to their original appearance in ''Super Mario Bros. 3'', they are invincible, thus serving more as an obstacle than an enemy. They can, however, be stunned with a [[Spin]] or a [[Star Bit]], but that just hinders the player as it stops the plant from going back in the pipe.
