Polluted Piranha A Polluted Piranha in Super Mario Sunshine First Appearance Super Mario Sunshine (2002) Latest Appearance New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis! (2009) Parent Species Piranha Plant A Polluted Piranha is a large species of Piranha Plant composed entirely of Goop. They appear as enemies in Super Mario Sunshine, Mario Power Tennis, and Mario Golf: Advance Tour. Unlike regular Piranha Plants, Polluted Piranhas do not have any teeth. In Super Mario Sunshine, Polluted Piranhas appear out of Goop generators in several areas towards the beginning of the game. To get the Polluted Piranha to come out of its base, Mario has to spray it with F.L.U.D.D. until it comes out. In order to defeat one, Mario must use F.L.U.D.D. to shoot water into its open mouth repeatedly. If Mario sprays one while its mouth is closed, it merely shrugs the attack off. Once defeated, Polluted Piranhas dissolve into Goop, after which their base disappears; Mario cannot wash away a Goop base like he can with normal Goop. Aside from periodically spawning Goobles, a Polluted Piranha does nothing to attack, and will actually retreat back into its base if Mario does not defeat it in time. There are three different types of Polluted Piranhas in the game: Pink, yellow, orange, and white Polluted Piranhas are the most basic variant, needing to be sprayed three times to be defeated. Only one appears at the Delfino Airstrip at the beginning of the game. The brown and white variants are found in Delfino Plaza's square and during the first episode of Bianco Hills, Road to the Big Windmill. Like the above variant, it requires three sprays to be defeated. The one in Bianco Square will send out Goobles if left alone, and the one in Bianco Hills sends out Piranhabons rolling down the hill. The black variants are only found in Delfino Plaza, covering the Boathouse to Ricco Harbor and the lighthouse to Gelato Beach. These require six sprays to defeat, and send out Goobles. The one guarding the lighthouse will additionally send out a wave of Goobles in every direction after the third spray. It is also worth noting that the brown one in Bianco Hills is the only one that can be fought multiple times, due to it being the only one in a replayable episode and the rest being fought in Delfino Plaza or Delfino Airstrip to unlock portals to other areas. In Mario Power Tennis, Petey Piranha's Defensive Power Shot, Piranha Swingback, involves him creating a Polluted Piranha to hit an unreachable tennis ball for him. In Mario Golf: Advance Tour, Polluted Piranhas appear in the Mushroom Tourney course along with many regular Piranha Plants. They are found outside of the course itself.
