A Gold Big Piranha is a gold variant of a Big Piranha Plant that only appears a single time in New Super Mario Bros. 2 on World 1-A. The Gold Big Piranha can only be seen after activating a Gold Ring in a secret area and running to a Pipe Cannon all the way to the right; the pipe cannon will launch the player to the right of a Big Piranha Plant that will briefly appear gold until the Gold Ring's effect wears off. Gold Big Piranhas have no notable differences from regular Big Piranha Plants besides the gold color and giving 5 coins upon death.

Naming[edit]
Though included in the Japanese guidebook, this enemy is not in the enemy index for New Super Mario Bros. 2 in the Super Mario Bros. Encyclopedia[1] or Mario Portal. This distinction is shared with the Gold Mini Goomba. It is also the only type of Piranha Plant introduced in the Super Mario series to not be mentioned by Viridi during Palutena's Guidance on Piranha Plant in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate at the time of its release in 2019.
