Piranha Bean
Piranha Bean's sprite fromMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions
First appearance	Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga (2003)
Latest appearance	Mario & Luigi: Superstar Saga + Bowser's Minions (2017)
Variant of	Piranha Plant

APiranha Bean is aBeanbean Kingdom species ofPiranha Plant that somewhat resembles a smaller version ofPetey Piranha, except with the head of a normal Piranha Plant.

A single Piranha Bean is one of the bosses inMario & Luigi: Superstar Saga found nearBeanbean Castle Town. It must be fought so the Mario Bros. can get aBean Fruit, which allows them to get theBeanstar piece in theYoshi Theater, andLuigi 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 thatPrince Peasley was also swallowed by the Piranha Bean, and was shrunk to a very small size.

During the battle, the Piranha Bean shoots smallfireballs 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 fromThunderhand.

InMario & 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 theMinion Quest: The Search for Bowser mode as enemies. They are first encountered in the levelHunger Pains, where one of them bitesCaptain 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.

InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, Piranha Beans are mentioned briefly byViridi duringPalutena's Guidance dialogue for Piranha Plant.

Notes[edit]

Unlike most bosses, Piranha Bean's battle music is that of a normal fight with an enemy, though this may be due to the fact that it is a solo fight with only Luigi.
Piranha Bean has a battle script for both Bros., despite only being fought by Luigi.^{[citation needed]}
