The '''Prickly Piranha Plant''',<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Pages 29, 40, and 42.</ref> also known as the '''Spiky Piranha Plant''',<ref>Browne, Catherine. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' PRIMA Official Game Guide. Pages 222 and 225.</ref> is a black variant of [[Spiny Piranha Plant]] that appears in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]''.
'''Prickly Piranha Plants'''<ref>Browne, Catherine. 2010. ''Super Mario Galaxy 2'' [[Prima Games|Prima]] Premiere Edition guide. Page 29.</ref> are a purple variant of [[Big Piranha Plant]] first appearing in the game ''[[Super Mario Galaxy]]''. They are bigger, purple Piranha Plants whose stems are covered in spikes. To attack, a Prickly Piranha Plant attempts to slam its head into [[Mario]] or [[Luigi]]. It can be defeated by hitting it with [[Stretch Plant]]s, by stomping it after it has slammed its head on the ground or shooting it with a fireball as [[Fire Mario]]. Some are necessary to be defeated in order to make a [[Sproutle Vine]] grow so Mario (or Luigi) can proceed. Shooting one with a [[Star Bit]] makes the Prickly Piranha Plant act immediately.


==History==
They reappear in ''[[Super Mario Galaxy 2]]'' with the same behavior, though they are very rare. One appears in [[Throwback Galaxy]] near the elevator and another appears in the [[Rightside Down Galaxy]]. The game also introduces a new variation called the [[Spiny Piranha Plant]], which attacks in a similar way, but is black and cannot be stomped due the spikes on its head. There is only one Spiny Piranha Plant in the game, in [[Sky Station Galaxy]].

The Prickly Piranha Plant attacks in the same way as its purple counterpart: slamming its head onto the ground. However, unlike the purple counterpart, the player cannot jump on it due to its spikes and must use the nearby [[rubbery bulb]] to defeat it by hitting its head when it is down on the ground. This enemy only appears in [[Sky Station Galaxy]] during the [[Storming the Sky Fleet]] mission, where it holds a key to the locked up [[Power Star]] nearby and must be defeated.
 
===''Super Smash Bros. Ultimate''===
In ''[[Super Smash Bros. Ultimate]]'', Piranha Plant becomes a small Prickly Piranha Plant for its side smash attack.<ref>GameXplain (November 1, 2018).

Retrieved November 1, 2018.</ref> In [[Palutena's Temple]], Prickly Piranha Plants (just called '''Prickly Piranhas''') are mentioned briefly by [[icaruspedia:Viridi|Viridi]] during [[List of Palutena's Guidance conversations|Palutena's Guidance]] dialogue for [[Piranha Plant#Super Smash Bros.
