A '''Piranha Bean''' is a [[Beanbean Kingdom]] species of [[Piranha Plant]] that somewhat resembles a smaller version of [[Petey Piranha]], except with the head of a normal Piranha Plant.
 
A single Piranha Bean is one of the bosses in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' found near [[Beanbean Castle Town]]. It must be fought so the Mario Bros. can get a [[Bean Fruit]], which allows them to get the [[Beanstar]] piece in the [[Yoshi Theater (Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga)|Yoshi Theater]], and [[Luigi]] must be separated from Mario to fight it. While looking for Bean Fruits, Luigi sees the Piranha Bean eat one, leading him to fight it so he can get it back. Upon defeating it, Luigi discovers that [[Prince Peasley]] was also swallowed by the Piranha Bean, and was shrunk to a very small size.
 
During the battle, the Piranha Bean shoots small [[fireball]]s out of its mouth at Luigi, and can do so from various spots on the battlefield, which makes its attacks slightly harder to dodge. The Piranha Bean can also shoot the miniaturized Peasley at Luigi as well. It takes critical damage from [[Thunderhand]].


The Piranha Bean is one of the bosses in ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga]]'' found near [[Beanbean Castle Town]]. It must be fought so the Mario Bros. could get a bean fruit which would get them the [[Beanstar]] piece in the [[Yoshi Theater]], and Luigi must be separated from Mario to find it (which in the end, often leaves Luigi stronger than [[Mario]] because of the high experience it gives). While looking for [[Bean Fruit]]s, Luigi found out that one of those had been swallowed by the Piranha Bean, and had to fight the irate plant so as to get it back.  
In ''[[Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions]]'', alongside the single Piranha Bean reappearing with the same role as in the original game, multiple Piranha Beans are found in the ''Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser'' mode as enemies. They are first encountered in the level [[Hunger Pains]], where one of them bites [[Captain Goomba (Mario & Luigi series)|Captain Goomba]] at the beginning of the level. They are Ranged troopers, and attack by spitting fireballs at their enemies. Their special attack is Spitfire Fury, which allows them to spit multiple fireballs at a targeted enemy. After the level, Captain Goomba finds a Piranha Bean watching him; after spotting Peasley (whom he had a rather unpleasant conversation with at the start of the level), he directs the Piranha Bean at Peasley, telling it how tasty he looks and prompting the Piranha to eat the Prince.


During the battle, the Piranha Bean shoots small fireballs at the plumber. The boss can attack from various spots on the battlefield, which makes his attacks slightly harder to dodge. After the end, Luigi discovers that [[Prince Peasley]] too was swallowed by the Piranha Bean, and was shrunk to a very small size (the Piranha Bean itself sometimes uses the prince as a projectile during battle).  
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Piranha Beans are mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for Piranha Plant.


Piranha Bean might be a species, however it is unknown. If it's a species then Petey Piranha might be a Piranha Bean. This could explain the two Petey Piranhas in ''[[Mario Hoops 3 on 3]]'' in Daisy Garden.

Variant of Piranha Plant

A Piranha Bean is a Beanbean Kingdom species of Piranha Plant that somewhat resembles a smaller version of Petey Piranha, except with the head of a normal Piranha Plant.

A single Piranha Bean is one of the bosses in Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga found near Beanbean Castle Town. It must be fought so the Mario Bros. can get a Bean Fruit, which allows them to get the Beanstar piece in the Yoshi Theater, and Luigi must be separated from Mario to fight it. While looking for Bean Fruits, Luigi sees the Piranha Bean eat one, leading him to fight it so he can get it back. Upon defeating it, Luigi discovers that Prince Peasley was also swallowed by the Piranha Bean, and was shrunk to a very small size.

During the battle, the Piranha Bean shoots small fireballs out of its mouth at Luigi, and can do so from various spots on the battlefield, which makes its attacks slightly harder to dodge. The Piranha Bean can also shoot the miniaturized Peasley at Luigi as well. It takes critical damage from Thunderhand.

In Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions, alongside the single Piranha Bean reappearing with the same role as in the original game, multiple Piranha Beans are found in the Minion Quest: The Search for Bowser mode as enemies. They are first encountered in the level Hunger Pains, where one of them bites Captain Goomba at the beginning of the level. They are Ranged troopers, and attack by spitting fireballs at their enemies. Their special attack is Spitfire Fury, which allows them to spit multiple fireballs at a targeted enemy. After the level, Captain Goomba finds a Piranha Bean watching him; after spotting Peasley (whom he had a rather unpleasant conversation with at the start of the level), he directs the Piranha Bean at Peasley, telling it how tasty he looks and prompting the Piranha to eat the Prince.

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