Yoshi Topsy-TurvyEdit
- Shogakukan guide: 食べたり踏んだりしても倒せないが、岩などでつぶすことはできる。ただし、近づいて花が開いている状態でないと、倒すことはできない。[23] (It cannot be defeated by eating or stepping on it, but it can be crushed by rocks. However, they can only be defeated when they are close to you and their flowers are open.)
Yoshi Touch & GoEdit
- Shogakukan guide: 近づくと頭を大きくし、ヨッシーに向かって口を開く。タマゴを当てるたびに緑→黄色→赤と色を変え、3発当てると倒せる。小さいうちに当てると1発で倒せるが、ポイントは少ない。[24] (When approached, it enlarges its head and opens its mouth toward Yoshi. Each time you hit it with an egg, it changes color from green to yellow to red, and if you hit it three times, it will be defeated. If you hit it while it is small, you can kill it with one shot, but you will get fewer points.)

| How to obtain | Clear Classic Mode as Piranha Plant |
- Nintendo eShop description: Piranha Plant joins the battle as a stand-alone fighter in the Super Smash Bros. Ultimate game! With its powerful bite, Poison Breath, and ability to call in Petey Piranha for a larger-than-life Final Smash, this fighter's ferocity is as sharp as it teeth. Ready your pipes and flowerpots; your opponent won't see you coming! (Then again, Piranha Plant doesn't really "see" either. It doesn't have eyes.)
- Palutena's Guidance
(Note: Unlike other characters who were released as downloadable content, Piranha Plant has a unique conversation rather than a generic one; this may be due to Piranha Plant being developed simultaneously with the base game.)
- Pit: Is that a...Piranha Plant?!
- Palutena: Not so loud. She'll hear you!
- Viridi: Did someone say Piranha Plant?
- Pit: Oh no.
- Viridi: I wrote my thesis on Piranha Plants! There are just so many species! You've got your basic Piranha Plants, your Fire Piranha Plants, [speech speeds up as she speaks] Ptooies, Nipper Plants, Nipper Spores, Munchers, Jumping Piranhas, Wild Ptooie Piranhas, Propeller Piranhas, Naval Piranhas, Chewies, Megasmilax, Piranha Pests, Piranha Sprouts, Frost Piranhas, Putrid Piranhas, Proto Piranhas, Piranhabons, Piranha Beans, Mom Piranhas, Small Piranhas, Elasto-Piranhas, Piranha Planets, Bungee Piranhas, Big Bungee Piranhas, Ghosts, Nipper Dandelions, Spiny Piranhas, Dino Piranhas, Fire Stalking Piranhas, Piranha Plorps, River Piranhas, Big Piranhas, Stalking Piranhas, Big Fire Piranhas, Prickly Piranhas, Peewee Piranhas, Inky Piranhas, Gold Piranhas, Bone Piranhas, Big Bone Piranhas, Piranha Pods, Piranha Creepers, Nipper Spore Patches, Paper Fire Piranhas, Poison Piranhas, Big Poison Piranhas, Upside-Down Piranhas, Petey Piranha, Paper Petey Piranha, Petea Piranha—
- Pit: Whoa!
- Viridi: I haven't even started on all the minor variations!
- Palutena: Enough, Viridi! I never want to hear the word "piranha" ever again.
- Pit: I guess that means I'm not getting any fighting tips. Thanks, Viridi.
