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

===''Super Mario Galaxy 2''===
[[File:SMG2_Giant_Land.png|thumb|left|Mario finding a Piranhacus Giganticus and two [[Huge Paragoomba]]s in ''Super Mario Galaxy 2''.]]
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.

===''New Super Mario Bros. U''===
[[File:Piranhacus_Grandecus_NSMBU.png|150px|thumb|Piranhacus Giganticus as seen in ''New Super Mario Bros. U''.]]
Piranhacus Giganticus reappear in ''[[New Super Mario Bros. U]]''. They act the same way they did in ''[[Super Mario Bros. 3]]'' although this time need to hit with three [[Fireball]]s to defeat, similar to [[Super Piranha Plant]]s. They are found in [[Soda Jungle]].
 
== Trivia ==
* Piranhacus Giganticus' name could possibly be using binomial nomenclature, a scientific way of naming species having the genus name with the first letter capitalized (''Piranhacus'' in this case) and a species name in lowercase (''giganticus''), both in italics. Which would result in ''Piranhacus giganticus''.
