Palutena's Guidance
(Note: Unlike other characters who were released as downloadable content, Piranha Plant has a unique conversation rather than having a generic conversation; this may be due to Piranha Plant being developed simultaneously with the base game.)

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.)

amiibo

 * These vicious, plantlike baddies are from the Super Mario™ series and typically hide in pipes. They emerge with mouths open, awaiting victims. A poorly timed jump means a chomping—hence the "piranha" name. While there have been exceptions, they generally don't appear if Mario waits on top of or just next to a pipe. They hate fireballs.

Bio: 逆さ土管に生息しており、一定間隔で顔を出す. It lives in inverted earthen pipes and emerges at regular intervals.
