'''Prickly Piranha Plants''' are a purple sub-species of [[Super Piranha Plant]] first appearing in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are basically bigger, purple Piranha Plants whose stem is covered in spikes. To attack, a Prickly Piranha Plant attempts to slam its head into [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. It can be defeated by hitting it with [[Stretch Plant]]s or by stomping it after it has slammed its head on the ground. Some are necessary to be defeated in order to make a [[beanstalk]] to grow so Mario (or Luigi) can proceed.

They reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' with the same behavior, though they are very rare. The game also introduces a new variation called the [[Spiky Piranha Plant]], which attacks in a similar way, but is black and cannot be stomped due the spikes on its head.
