Big Piranha Plant
Template:Species-infobox Super Piranha Plants (Big Piranha Plants in various games) are giant Piranha Plants found in the game New Super Mario Bros. and its sequels. They are not to be confused with the Piranhacus Giganticus, which acts just like Piranha Plants found in pipes. Unlike most Piranha Plants, Super Piranha Plants are never found inside pipes due to their gigantic size. Mario must shoot three fireballs at one to destroy them. When defeated, they give up eight coins instead of the usual one coin. In the sequel, this is reduced to three coins. Another similar enemy that appears only in New Super Mario Bros. Wii is the Super Venus Fire Trap. In New Super Mario Bros. 2, Super Piranha Plants are among the enemies that are affected by the Gold Ring. When defeated, the location they once stood upon spouts coins.
