'''Ghost Piranhas''' are winged blue [[Piranha Plant]]s found in ''[[Yoshi's Island DS]]'' and as the name implies, they have already passed on. They are blue and move up and down or side to side. They hang upside down and do not have a body. If the player does not have enough time to react, they will eat Yoshi whole for about 2 seconds, leaving Yoshi's current baby floating around until Yoshi gets out to capture it.

Yoshi's Island DS[edit]

Polterpiranhas move up and down or side to side. They also hang upside down and do not have a stem. If the player does not have enough time to react, they will eat Yoshi whole for about two seconds, leaving Yoshi's current baby floating around until Yoshi gets out to capture it. They can be defeated by throwing a Yoshi's Egg at them or by having Baby DK perform his dash attack on them.

Super Smash Bros. series[edit]

Polterpiranha is only mentioned in the Super Smash Bros. series a few times. In Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Polterpiranha, retranslated as Ghost, is mentioned as a variety in the North American version of the Piranha Plant trophy; it is unmentioned in the British English version, but is mentioned in the Japanese version under its full name. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Ghosts are mentioned briefly by Viridi during Palutena's Guidance dialogue for Piranha Plant.
