Piranha Plant Orb

The Piranha Plant Capsule is an item that first appears in Mario Party 5, where it can be thrown to a space on the board or be self-activated for five coins. Any player that lands on a space containing this capsule, or if the user pays the capsule to use it for themselves, gets chewed up by a Piranha Plant and spat out, causing them to lose half their coins. If the player has an odd number of coins, they lose the larger portion. In Mario Party 6 and Mario Party 7, it becomes the Piranha Plant Orb that players can only place on a space; it costs fifteen coins at the Orb Shop. Opponents that land on a space containing the Orb are still eaten by a Piranha Plant and lose half their coins, which are then transferred to the space's owner.

If a player is already on the space of this orb, and another opponent lands on it, the Piranha Plant chews only the opponent, while the original player gets surprised.

In Super Mario Party Jamboree, while the orb does not appear, the Half-Coins Steal Trap takes a similar role.
