Poison Piranha Plants are a variant ofPiranha Plant that first appears inSuper Mario Odyssey. When they seeMario, they spitpoison, which creates a puddle if it touches the ground. When Poison Piranha Plants are about to spit poison, their heads become purple.
History[edit]
Super Mario Odyssey[edit]
Poison Piranha Plants are found in theIron Road section of theWooded Kingdom, in theUnderground Power Plant area of theMetro Kingdom, and in a bonus area of theDark Side based on a Wooded Kingdom area.Stomping a Poison Piranha Plant clears out poison in a circle around it. If MariothrowsCappy at a Posion Piranha Plant, it will swallow Cappy, stopping it from spitting poison. (If Cappy is close enough to prompt this response, but not close enough to actually be eaten, the Piranha Plant will repeatedly try to eat Cappy to no effect.) Cappy struggles to escape, which can be hastened by pressing the
or
buttons. Alternatively, the plant can be defeated by kicking them over while Cappy is trapped. Knocking or throwing arock into a Poison Piranha Plant causes it to swallow the rock instead to the same effect, where it will spit out the rock after some time has passed. This method allows Mario tocapture the Piranha Plant with Cappy. When controlled by Mario, the plant first has to spit out the rock, then can spit poison by pressing. By shaking the controller, the plant can spit poison faster and farther. Piranha Plants are only able to rotate in place.Big Poison Piranha Plants that spit bigger balls of poison also appear.
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate[edit]
InSuper Smash Bros. Ultimate, Poison Piranha Plants (simply calledPoison Piranhas) are mentioned briefly byViridi duringPalutena's Guidance dialogue forPiranha Plant.
Mario Kart Live: Home Circuit[edit]
Poison Piranha Plants reappear inMario Kart Live: Home Circuit, where their heads are purple. They appear on the trackside of the Jungle environment and spit out poison onto the track. Driving over a puddle causes the poison to cover the player's screen, obscuring their view similar to anInky Piranha Plant. Driving into one also slows Mario orLuigi down for a few seconds.
