Piranha Plants are a carnivorous plant in the Mario universe which sprout from Warp Pipes. There are many types of Piranha Plants, including the ones who don't sprout from Warp Pipes when a character is on or beside them, the ones that do sprout anyway, the ones that spit fire, the ones that don't have pipes, the ones that aren't bound to one place, and so on.

In the Super Smash Bros. series

Piranha Plants sometimes appear out of the Warp Pipes on the Mushroom Kingdom stage. They are enemies and don't seem to have a settled schedule between the two pipes. These are one of the easiest enemies to avoid in the entire Smash-series, as they won't appear if the character is on the pipe or on the side of the pipes. The pipes are also very low, making them easy to jump over.

In Super Smash Bros. Brawl

A Piranha Plant may sometimes appear as a stage element on PictoChat. However, they don't go up or down, and they stay on the stationary platform. Also, Petey Piranha, the first boss of the Subspace Emissary, is a Piranha Plant. [1]

Trophy Description

A vicious, plantlike monster that typically hides in pipes. Piranha Plants emerge with mouths open, awaiting victims. A poorly timed jump means a chomping--hence the "piranha" name. While there have been exceptions--there are many Piranha Plants with unique traits-- they generally don't appear if Mario waits on top of or just next to a pipe. They hate fireballs.
