'''Elasto-Piranhas''' are a sub-species of [[Piranha Plant]] that have elastic stems which can extend and contract. This variety of Piranha Plant lives in [[Toadwood Forest]]. Elasto-Piranhas have developed a clever survival mechanism: they disguise themselves in [[Warp Pipes]], attacking unsuspecting adventurers who venture near their pipes. In battle, an Elasto-Piranha attacks by first extending its elastic stem to the sky, placing its head high above the ground. Next, the Elasto-Piranha shoots [[fireball]]s from high in the sky at its enemies down on the ground. Fortunately these fireballs can be jumped over, but it takes careful timing to do so. After attacking, the stem contracts, allowing the Piranha Plant to hide in its pipe. Interestingly, Elasto-Piranhas have short arms and legs, which they can use to pick up their pipes and move around on the ground. As such, the height and ground position of an Elasto-Piranha continually varies throughout a battle, meaning the time it takes for a fireball to reach an enemy on the ground also changes.

Elasto-Piranhas are a sub-species of Piranha Plant that have elastic stems which can extend and contract; they appear in the game Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time. This variety of Piranha Plant lives in Toadwood Forest.

In battle, an Elasto-Piranha attacks by first extending its elastic stem to the sky. To determine who it attacks, the neck stretches to the top of the top screen if it will hit Mario and halfway at the top screen if it will hit Luigi. Next, the Elasto-Piranha shoots fireballs at its chosen enemy. These fireballs can be jumped over which if not, it may cause the Burn status effect. The height and ground position of an Elasto-Piranha continually varies throughout a battle, meaning the time it takes for a fireball to reach its enemy also changes. Any attack will work on these enemies with the exception of Bro Flowers, which will only do one damage to these enemies and they take critical damage from Ice Flowers.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Elasto-Piranhas are mentioned briefly by Viridi during Palutena's Guidance dialogue for Piranha Plant.
