Piranha Pod

Piranha Pods are an alternate version of Spiny Eggs. Like Spiny Eggs, they are thrown by Lakitus, but turn into a Piranha Plant upon landing rather than a Spiny. They appear in New Super Mario Bros. U in the level Blooming Lakitus, and in New Super Luigi U in the levels Spinning Sandstones and Beanstalk Jungle.

In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Viridi briefly mentions them during Palutena's Guidance dialogue for Piranha Plant.

Piranha Pods reappear in Mario Party Superstars, replacing the Strawberry Seeds from the original Mario Party on the Peach's Birthday Cake board. The game also marks the debut of Big Piranha Pods, which sprout into Big Piranha Plants.
