History[edit]
Yoshi franchise[edit]
Yoshi's Island DS[edit]
They hang on ceilings and wait for aYoshi to come; they make a chomping sound to indicate their presence. When a Yoshi approaches, they lunge down and grab a Yoshi, causing the Yoshi to leave their eggs behind. Their stems also have spikes on it, so touching it will harm the Yoshi. A boss version called theBig Bungee Piranha appears inWorld 2'sCastle,Big Bungee Piranha's Lair. They appear inThe Cave That Never Ends,Let There Be Light!,Yoshi on Stilts,Yikes! Boiling Hot!,Big Bungee Piranha's Lair,Moving Statues, Standing Statues, andSuperhard Acrobatics!.
Yoshi's Crafted World[edit]
Bungee Piranhas reappear inYoshi's Crafted World and behave the same way they did inYoshi's Island DS. However, their stems are no longer spiky and can be passed through by Yoshi. They also have thin spikes on their heads, although this is more of a visual difference. Bungee Piranhas only appear inJumping to Victory, where they try to blend in with harmless (regular) Piranha Plant-coloredParty Balls.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, Bungee Piranhas are mentioned briefly byViridi duringPalutena's Guidance dialogue forPiranha Plant.
